Joey and Kelsey have been together almost constantly since meeting on The Bachelor season 28. It's as if they never wanted to leave each other's side again. It's a romantic notion, but it can be challenging for new partners. Understandably, they'd want to get to know each other as quickly as possible. They had, after all, just gotten engaged on national television. It was clear from day one that Joey and Kelsey were going to commit to the process. Read on for why I think a little absence may be just what they need.
Joey & Kelsey's Whirlwind Romance
One Of The Franchise's Best Couples
Before Joey met Kelsey on The Bachelor season 28, he appeared on The Bachelorette season 20. Joey fell hard for Charity Lawson, and he made it to her final two, but she gave her final rose to another man. Joey was devastated by the rejection, but it ended up working out in his favor. He went on to meet Kelsey, and the two fell deeply in love. As far as I'm concerned, they're definitely in the running for one of the franchise's best couples.
Joey & Kelsey Are Deeply Committed
They May Have Needed The Time Apart

Joey and Kelsey are deeply committed to the relationship. They both dove into the deep end head first, and no one can ever accuse either of them of not giving the relationship a chance. Since getting engaged during The Bachelor season 28 finale, Joey and Kelsey have been together almost constantly. When Joey hit the road for a recent job opportunity, it gave the couple a little time apart, and I think that's a good thing.
Joey's Been On The Road
He's On Tour Like A Rock Star
The posts do a great job of selling the DWTS live show, and everyone seems to be having a great time.
The DWTS live show reunited Joey and his professional dance partner, Jenna, and the two danced 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 posted on his page. Joey doing two shows a day proves he's working hard. I believe being away from each other will be good for Joey and Kelsey.
A recent social media post proved how much fun Joey's been having while touring. Ezra Sosa recently shared an Instagram post with the cast 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 cast performing for fun on the bus. The whole gang appears to be having such a great time, and I think it's good for couples to have fun away from each other sometimes.
Kelsey Missed Him
"See U Soon Pookie"
Joey and Kelsey appear to be having fun together, even while they're apart.
Being away from each other for short periods can give couples a chance to miss each other a little. Joey on the road seems to have accomplished just that for The Bachelor season 28 couple. Joey and Kelsey have been engaged for well over a year and are expected to announce a wedding date at some point soon. They've been smart about how they've handled their relationship, and I think Joey's recent time on the road has been good for them.
