The Bachelor Season 28's Joey Graziadei Reveals He & Kelsey Anderson Have Put Wedding Planning On Hold After Relationship Backlash

The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei revealed that he and fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, have put their wedding planning on hold because of Joey competing in Dancing With The Stars season 33. Joey and Kelsey got engaged during the season finale of The Bachelor season 28, and immediately faced backlash because of their living arrangements. Joey had moved into Kelsey's New Orleans home, but they shared it with her roommates. In addition, they had a bit of financial difficulty, but now the couple has moved to Los Angeles while Joey competes on DWTS.

Joey shared that his and Kelsey's wedding planning has been put on the backburner while he focuses on competing in DWTS season 33.

In an interview with Us Weekly, Joey shared that his and Kelsey's wedding planning has been put on the backburner while he focuses on competing in DWTS season 33 with his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson. He explained, "I think really right now our goal is to get through this dancing." Joey also shared that the couple then will have to figure out a new home after the show, stating, "Get settled where we’re gonna be living next."

After Joey and Kelsey get through those two major things, then they can focus on planning their wedding. Joey said, "And then it’s gonna be to figure out a date, figure out location, get everything kind of cleaned up a little bit."

I think really right now our goal is to get through this dancing. Get settled where we’re gonna be living next. And then it’s gonna be to figure out a date, figure out location, get everything kind of cleaned up a little bit.

During The Bachelor season 28, Joey had expressed that he wanted a two- to three-year engagement, so it's not surprising that he and Kelsey haven't jumped in to wedding planning. Kelsey doesn't seem to be in a rush to get married either, so their decision to put wedding planning on the backburner for now doesn't mean anything negative for their relationship.
