Joey recently opened up about how competing on Dancing With The Stars became one of the toughest tests for his relationship with Kelsey. "It was difficult at times," he admitted, referencing the outside opinions that surrounded his partnership with Jenna Johnson on the show. Joey explained that there were days when he'd come home from rehearsals feeling drained, and it was hard to connect with Kelsey right away. Joey going from one reality show to the next instead of focusing on his relationship seems to have taken a toll, and both parties seem to be struggling because of it.

She's Going Through It

The reality star recently took to TikTok to joke about going through the "stages of grief" as the United States prepares for the TikTok ban, which will undoubtedly affect a lot of influencers. In her video, Kelsey admitted that she only just recently got comfortable posting on the app, and now, it's seemingly coming to an end right before her eyes.

Kelsey's New Living Situation May Be Creating Stress
Moving Always Tests A Relationship
Now that Joey's time on Dancing With The Stars has come to an end, the couple finally had the chance to move into their own place together.

Unfortunately, the couple picked a very chaotic time to move as wildfires are currently devastating Los Angeles.

Joey & Kelsey Never Did Get Married
Why Are They Waiting So Long?
The couple made it clear that they were taking some time before they started wedding planning to solidify their relationship, but waiting this long may be a bad sign.

While that perspective does make sense, their messages often come across as casting more uncertainty on the future of their relationship and eventual marriage.
