Joey was then cast as the franchise's next male lead for The Bachelor season 28. He greeted 32 impressive single women at the Bachelor mansion, including Kelsey, and they hit it off right away. The season ended with Joey and Kelsey getting engaged. Since leaving the show, they've been living together and working on their careers as public figures. They've both increased their social media followings exponentially. Joey has had multiple successes, and his recent career coup may threaten his relationship with Kelsey.
From Fitness Pro To Public Figure
Before joining the cast of The Bachelorette season 20, Joey was a tennis pro teaching in Hawaii. After being cast as The Bachelor, he and Kelsey got engaged and moved into Kelsey's old place in New Orleans. For a while, they struggled financially and lived off Joey's credit cards. Everything changed when Joey was cast as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars season 33. He and Kelsey moved to Los Angeles, where the show films before a live audience. Kelsey was in the audience every night to cheer on Joey and his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson.

Dancing With The Stars doesn't offer a grand prize. Instead, they paid their participants a salary, so the competition was Joey's job for a while. Kelsey was there at his side the whole time, even upending her life and moving to a new city to be with him. After a highly competitive season, Joey and Jenna won the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, and Joey's star rose even higher. He recently signed a contract to tour the country with the DWTS live show. It's unclear if Kelsey will join him or if she'll stay behind in their new Los Angeles home.
