The Bachelor: Signs Kelsey Anderson Needs A Break From Joey Graziadei (She Was Spotted With Some Familiar Faces On A Girls Trip)

The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson recently went on a girls' trip, and it may mean she needed a break from her fiancée, Joey Graziadei. 26-year-old Kelsey met Joey when she was one of the 32 women competing for his roses. Joey, a 28-year-old tennis pro from Hawaii, was no stranger to looking for love on television. He made his television debut as a contestant in The Bachelorette season 20, where he made it to Charity Lawson's final two. When Charity Lawson gave her final rose to another man, Joey became The Bachelor.

Joey kicked off The Bachelor season 28 by greeting his 32 single women, including Kelsey. After a season of solo dates, group outings, cocktail parties, and rose ceremonies, Joey gave his final rose and heart to Kelsey. The couple got engaged, and they rode off into the sunset together. They've been living together ever since, and it's possible that Kelsey needed a break from her fiancée because she recently went on a girls' trip with some familiar faces. Read on to learn more about Kelsey's girls' trip and what it means for her relationship with Joey.

Joey & Kelsey Have Had A Tough Few Months

Moving, Fires, & Ring-Gate

Joey and Kelsey have had their ups and downs since leaving The Bachelor season 28. Wanting to live together right away, they initially moved into Kelsey's old place with her roommates. Thankfully, the awkward arrangement didn't last long. Joey was cast in Dancing With The Stars season 33, so he and Kelsey moved to Los Angeles, where the show films before a live studio audience. Joey shocked everyone by being a great dancer. His athleticism came in handy, and he won the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy, along with his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson.

Joey and Kelsey had only planned to stay in LA while DWTS season 33 was filming, but they decided to move there indefinitely. Their timing couldn't have been worse, because it wasn't long before violent wildfires ripped through LA. It was a scary time for Joey and Kelsey, who had to be evacuated from their new home. Thankfully, heroic firefighters got the flames under control. Kelsey posted a TikTok in which she thanked the firefighters and encouraged people to help in any way they could. Joey and Kelsey's new Los Angeles home survived the wildfires.

Things got worse when Kelsey was spotted sans her engagement ring. While filming her TikTok about the fires, Kelsey wasn't wearing her engagement ring. Fans noticed and took to the comment section with their concerns. There were so many comments that Kelsey finally addressed it in another TikTok. Kelsey explained she damaged the ring recently, and it needed repair. She said there's a lot of "wear and tear" on the ring, so she tries to remove it when she gets home, works out, or does anything that could damage it.

Kelsey's Girls Trip

With Some Familiar Faces

Kelsey recently went on a weekend trip with some of her girlfriends and posted several photos from the event on Instagram. There are several women from the cast of The Bachelor season 28, including Daisy Kent, Lea Cayanan, Lexi Young, and Rachel Nance. Kelsey has continued to maintain close relationships with many of the women who appeared in Joey's season. Though it may seem weird for her to be friends with women who dated her fiancée, they all share a unique bond that few could understand.

Where's Joey?

He's Touring The Country

While Kelsey's going on a trip with her girlfriends, Joey's probably touring with the Dancing With The Stars live show. He'd already performed with the live show, but after a month off, his first show was postponed due to bad weather. Despite the disappointing delay, Joey joined the show for performances in other cities. Joey's minor career setback came at a bad time, as he was already dealing with rumors about relationship trouble. Kelsey revealed that she had serious FOMO about Joey going on tour, so she probably went on her girl's trip to distract herself.

In January, Joey posted Instagram photos of himself and his mother at a football game. Joey's caption reads, in part, "People always ask why I am a Packers fan if I grew up in Philadelphia area and this woman is the reason why." Joey's sister is also there. He also included his bucket list, on which he crossed out "Go to a Green Bay Packers rivalry game." Though Joey and Kelsey are often together, they're doing a lot of things separately, which isn't necessarily a bad sign. It could mean they're comfortable being part sometimes.

Will Joey & Kelsey Ever Get Married?

It's Been A Long Engagement

It's been well over a year since Kelsey and Joey got engaged during The Bachelor season 28 finale, and they've said they intend to get married within the next couple of years. The couple seem to have their hands full growing their careers as social influencers and public figures. Perhaps after Joey finishes touring with the Dancing With The Stars live show, he and Kelsey may finally find the time to start planning their wedding.
