By week four of The Bachelor season 28, Joey already knew he had strong feelings for Kelsey. He wrote a journal entry in Malta detailing his feelings for Kelsey, which he later gave her on their last date before the proposal. Daisy Kent broke up with Joey in the finale because she could tell he had a stronger connection with Kelsey. Joey and Kelsey have the potential to be one of the strongest Bachelor Nation couples.
Joey & Kelsey Seem More In Love Than Ever
Distance Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Couples don't need to spend every second of every day together to be happy. Joey made sure the world knows Kelsey is still a priority to him on his Instagram, specifically with his Valentine's Day post last month. Despite the rumors that Joey and Kelsey are breaking up, I think it's clear they are still in love and want to make their relationship work.
Long-Distance Is Helping Joey & Kelsey's Relationship Grow
They're One Of The Few Successful Bachelor Couples
While long-distance relationships can be complicated, they can also help couples become stronger than ever. It can force couples to prioritize communication, which is the hallmark of a good relationship. Spending time together is important, but that can be done over video chat and phone calls if the couple isn't together all the time.
The Bachelor is known to have a low success rate. Unlike many other couples from The Bachelor, Kelsey and Joey moved in together quickly after the show's finale aired, first living together in New Orleans before heading to Los Angeles. While they're currently long-distance due to work obligations, I believe they can make it through this temporary period in their lives and come out stronger than ever.
Joey & Kelsey Are Doing Well In Their Careers
They Can Prioritize More Than Just Their Relationship
While spending time together is a vital part of a relationship, so is each person having their own interests, hobbies, and careers. Spending some time apart means they can build up this other aspect of their lives to secure a strong future together and provide for their future children. After all, Kelsey and Joey want to have kids together, even if they're going to wait a little bit before doing so.
Since filming The Bachelor season 28, Kelsey has built a successful influencing career. Recently, she announced partnerships with Ulta Beauty and Scrunci. The Scrunci x Kelsey Anderson Collection will launch exclusively at Walmart. Meanwhile, Joey was the Hollywood Rose Parade reporter for ABC, allowing him to flex his hosting and on-air reporting muscles. He also won Dancing With The Stars season 33, allowing him to tour with the live show.
