Kelsey Anderson Reveals Reality TV Hopes After Winning 'The Bachelor'

Joey Graziadei's Bachelor Nation audition tape was recently shared for the first time ever, and one thing stands out in the fun walk down memory lane–his very short list of leading ladies.

Bachelor Nation shared Joey'scasting tape as a part of their new Bachelor Audition Tapes series, and they couldn't have picked a better one to kick it off.

In it, the Bachelor fan favorite can be seen in this behind-the-scenes video sharing never-before-seen moments from his life before becoming one of Bachelor Nation's most beloved stars.

The footage was filmed beforeJoeywas cast on Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette, when no one knew anything about him. It's pretty clear why he melts so many hearts just from the nearly six and a half minutes of Joey sharing why he believes he's ready for love.

But one thing about the audition tape really stood out—and we're not talking about picturesque views of Hawaiian beaches or artful shots of Joey playing tennis. It's the fact that, before appearing on The Bachelorette,Joeyonly had two girlfriends.

He dated one of the women while living in Hawaii, according to the audition tape confession, where Joey admitted that in one case, he got dumped and in the other, he did the dumping.

"I’ve really only had two serious relationships in my life," Joey shared. "One when I first moved to the island, and one when I was living in Nashville. Both girls were amazing. I can say nothing but great things about them. Obviously, it didn’t work out. That’s why I’m trying to audition for this show right now."

Then, Joey shared the dirty details about how things ended with his first girlfriend, admitting, "She really taught me a lot about this island and all the beautiful things about it. At the end of the day, it just didn’t work out. She actually ended up getting interested in somebody else and that stuff happens. I know how that goes."

As for the Nashville girlfriend, Joey said that he had to let her go when he realized that he just didn't see a future with her.

"I want to fall in love, that’s for sure. I thought by this age, I would have a lot more figured out. I thought I would be married and starting to build a life with someone," he explained.

He was 28 years old while filming The Bachelorette, where he told Charity he was falling in love with her before she ultimately cut him loose. Joeywas the runner-up behind winner Dotun Olubeku, who won the season, the final rose, and Charity'sheart.

Joey claimed that he was "very open to falling in love quickly," but with so little experience in the love department, how could he even know? It turns out he did fall in love again and again, so it definitely worked out.

Casting Joeyas the season 28 star of The Bachelor seemed like a no-brainer, and he did fall in love fast—again—when he gave his final rose to Kelsey Anderson, whom he's still engaged to. The Bachelor Nation couple recently revealed plans to marry in the summer of 2027 during a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit interview.
