The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Reveals If She Still Goes On Dates With Joey Graziadei After Relationship Backlash

The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson announced an upcoming date night with Joey Graziadei, which comes after weeks and months of fan speculation over the state of their relationship. Kelsey and Joey have been on a wild ride ever since getting engaged during The Bachelor season 28. Amid divorces and breakups in Bachelor Nation from The Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, and The Bachelorette's Jenn Tran and Devin Strader, Kelsey and Joey have stayed strong, despite their critics being convinced the couple is on the verge of a split.

Kelsey shared a sponsored post on TikTok to reveal how she attempts to "tame the mane" as she gets ready for a night out with Joey at a restaurant called Commander's Palace. The Bachelor winner wanted to go for a "sleek smooth look" with her hair, so she used a particular product. "Let's tame this mane and go from wet to dry to styled in record time and protect my hair from extreme heat damage," she explained. The video showed Kelsey using the product to style her hair. Once she finished, she said, "I'm ready for date night with Joey."

What Kelsey Anderson’s “Date Night” With Joey Means For Relationship

Kelsey & Joey's Relationship Is Still Going Strong Despite Backlash

Kelsey and Joey have been under intense scrutiny from the moment they got engaged on The Bachelor. While they are still considered fan-favorites within Bachelor Nation, their critics don't hesitate to point out supposed red flags. The couple came under fire when they started living a lavish lifestyle. Even things like their engagement photos were proof, at least in their critics' eyes, that their relationship wouldn't last. Professional dancer Jenna Johnson was even criticized for getting cozy with Joey in a Dancing With The Stars season 33 photo shoot, causing fans to be concerned for Kelsey.

However, Kelsey and Joey's social media activity keeps proving that they are actually in a healthy relationship and have great chemistry, no matter what their critics might believe. Kelsey admitting that she still goes on dates with Joey even though they're engaged further solidifies the strength of their bond with each other. They still make time for each other, despite how busy their lives have gotten, especially now that Joey is on DWTS.

Our Take On Kelsey Anderson Announcing Date Night With Joey

Kelsey Anderson Is Giving Fans What They Want

It wouldn't surprise me if their critics used this new TikTok video as proof that Kelsey is overcompensating by feeling like she has to announce their upcoming date instead of just going on the date with no fanfare. However, Kelsey and Joey's fans love hearing about their relationship, even if it's in the form of a sponsored video. This couple got famous because of a dating show in which they met and fell in love, so continuing that type of content post-The Bachelor makes perfect sense.
