The Bachelor season 28 opened with Joey greeting 32 single young women, including 26-year-old Kelsey. The junior account executive from New Orleans caught Joey's eye right away, and she was the front-runner throughout the season. They got engaged during the final rose ceremony, and they've been together ever since. Joey's time on the road is probably the longest the couple has been separated, and Joey seems to be having a great time while touring with the show. Read on to find out how Joey's good time on the road justifies Kelsey's FOMO.
Joey Looks So Happy On Stage
No Wonder Kelsey Feels FOMO
Joey was an athlete before joining the cast of The Bachelorette season 20 and The Bachelor season 28, but no one expected him to excel so much as a dancer. After a hard fought season, Joey and his professional dance partner, Jenn Johnson, won the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Though it was Joey's third time appearing on a network reality show, the DWTS victory took his celebrity up another notch. He seemed to really enjoy the physical challenge of being a dancer, but he also enjoyed a sense of friendship and camaraderie among the show's cast.
A brief scroll of recent Instagram photos posted by DWTSTourOfficial is a tribute to Joey's love for his new job. He's beaming in every photo, as he gracefully dances on stage before a live audience. Joey got used to dancing in front of an audience during Dancing With The Stars 33, which films in Los Angeles. Though live performance isn't new to him, traveling with a live show is an entirely different experience. It was always possible that Joey would hate touring with a live show, but he seemed to be having the time of his life.
The photos feature Joey and Jenna in various costumes, dancing to various numbers, including at least one big group number.
The posts do a great job of selling the DWTS live show, and everyone seems to be having a great time. It's no surprise that Kelsey, left behind in her and Joey's Los Angeles home, is looking on with jealousy. Not only does she probably miss her fiancée, she wishes she could join in on all the fun too. Thankfully, Joey doesn't appear to be gone for the entire run of the show.
Joey & Jenna Reunited
Jenna Is Kelsey Approved
Joey's odd request raised eyebrows because it suggested that there was an issue with jealousy in his relationship.
Kelsey must have approved of Jenna, because she and Joey appear to have formed a good working relationship. The DWTS live show reunited Joey and Jenna, who dance together once again. Jenna recently posted fun backstage footage of her and Joey before they performed the live show. "First double show day on Tour," reads Jenna's post, which Joey also reposted. The fact that Joey's doing two shows a day proves that he's working hard.
The DWTS Tour Bus Is Lit
"Welcome To The Tipton"
A recent social media post proved just how much fun Joey's been having while touring with the DWTS Live show. Ezra Sosa recently shared a fantastic Instagram post with the cast of the show on the tour bus, performing "Welcome To The Tipton", from The Suite Life Of Zack And Kody. The choreographed number includes Joey and several members of the live show cast performing on the bus. The whole gang appears to be having such a great time, it's easy to understand why Kelsey feels left out.
Kelsey's Working Through Her FOMO Just Fine
She's Not Staying Home To Cry About It
Since leaving The Bachelor season 28, Kelsey has continued to maintain close relationships with many of the women who appeared in Joey's season. Though it may seem weird for her to be friends with women who dated her fiancée, they all share a unique bond that few could understand. It also proves that Kelsey is a girl's girl who knows how to maintain close relationships with other women. Kelsey may have FOMO about Joey's cool DWTS experience, she's pursuing her own happiness, which is healthy for the relationship.
The Bachelor seasons 1-28 can be streamed on Hulu.
