The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Blocks Joey Graziadei From Making Expensive Purchase After Money Troubles

The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei and the woman he gave his final rose to, Kelsey Anderson, are back in the news now that Kelsey has blocked Joey from being able to make any major purchases after his money problems became public knowledge. Joey and Kelsey officially became a couple after The Bachelor season 28 finale, where he proposed to Kelsey and she accepted. Shortly after they began to seriously date, Joey moved into the home Kelsey shared with her roommates. This sparked rumors about the state of Joey's finances, though Joey has been telling everyone he is doing just fine.

"Kelsey wouldn't let me buy the Harley."

Since the conclusion of The Bachelor, Joey and Kelsey have been focusing primarily on creating an influencer lifestyle, though there have been a lot of concerns in Bachelor Nation that the couple has been living beyond their means. At an auction for St. Jude, a video was posted to Joey's Instagram account to show what was taking place.

In small writing on the Instagram Story, Joey jokingly commented, "Kelsey wouldn't let me buy the Harley (crying-laughing emoji)." Kelsey also posted to her Instagram Story, showing a picture of a "St. Jude Jam Event Pass" for the event, with a caption saying, "Full circle as a tri delta alum."

Have Kelsey Anderson & Joey Graziadei Gotten Over Their Money Issues?

Joey & Kelsey Need To Focus On Building A Solid Foundation For Marriage

This is not the first time Joey and Kelsey have had to defend themselves against criticism of their finances and their future plans. When the news came out that Joey was moving in with Kelsey, he confessed that while he was filming The Bachelor season 28, Joey had missed a credit card payment, which caused his credit to drop greatly. Then it was revealed that Joey paused his tennis coaching career and Kelsey quit her job as a project manager. This development caused an uproar because it seemed like Joey and Kelsey were being reckless about their finances.

The frustration over Joey and Kelsey's lavish lifestyle increased when pictures of the couple on lavish vacations and dates began to appear on their Instagram accounts. The couple was gallivanting around the world, spending lots of money, but they were not currently employed. However, Joey and Kelsey said that they are employed: they are both successful social media influencers. Both Joey and Kelsey tried to explain that having a normal job like tennis coaching and project management was not possible while they were filming the show and still fulfilling their obligations to The Bachelor.

Now things are starting to look up for Kelsey and Joey; they have landed some seriously important contracts and sponsorships with big-name companies that could change everything for the couple. In June, the couple dropped some major news when they announced they partnered with Amazon to advertise for Amazon Prime Day. Joey and Kelsey posted a video on their Instagram accounts showing the couple happily working in an ice cream parlor, eating blue ice cream, and chatting with some fans. This is an incredible development for Joey and Kelsey, who have worked diligently to grow their Instagram and TikTok accounts.

Joey and Kelsey have faced a seemingly uphill battle since they decided to become engaged to each other. Joey shocked Bachelor Nation by giving Kelsey his final rose when it seemed like he would choose Daisy Kent. Then The Bachelor couple decided to enjoy their whirlwind romance by jetting around the world, attending big events, and generally having a good time. This was frustrating because they should take their relationship and finances more seriously. However, it seems that Joey and Kelsey are going to have the last laugh with the increase in their value to major sponsors.
