The Bachelor’s Kelsey Anderson Is Combating Relationship Rumors With Humor (Are She & Joey In Danger?)

The Bachelor season 28’s winning couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have faced their fair share of criticism, and though Kelsey’s been using humor to combat the rumors, is there trouble in their future? Joey, who originally appeared as a cast member on The Bachelorette season 20 with Charity Lawson, knew what it was like to be a contestant on the long-running reality TV series. When he met Kelsey and the rest of the cast of his season, the lead of The Bachelor season 28 was gracious, kind, and understanding about what the women were going through on the show.

Joey’s connection with Kelsey was the strongest in his cast on The Bachelor, and he proposed to her during the live Bachelor finale. The pair were open about how happy they were and shared more about their relationship after the season came to an end, but have been met with serious criticism throughout their time post-show. Despite knowing that Joey and Kelsey’s relationship is their business, critics have weighed in, especially with the former Bachelor now competing on Dancing With The Stars season 33. While Kelsey’s been using humor to combat the rumors, is there any truth to the shade?
