The Bachelor: With Wedding Plans And Baby Rumors Swirling, I'm Convinced Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Could Be The Next Bachelor Nation Couple To Get Married (Even Before Joan & Chock)

The reality stars decided to enjoy the relationship and their new careers before beginning the wedding planning process. While it’s been over a year since their engagement, Joey and Kelsey have used this time wisely. The stars have established names for themselves in the television and fashion industries. Now that they’ve approached a much-needed lull in their busy schedules, they can start planning and seem excited about this new milestone. Joey and Kelsey will undoubtedly be the next bachelor couple to tie the knot. They are ready for the commitment.

Joey & Kelsey Have Been Engaged For A Long Time

Joey & Kelsey Wanted To Take Their Time

It has been over a year since Joey and Kelsey got engaged. While the finale and proposal aired in March 2024, their actual engagement likely happened around November 2023. This would mean Joey and Kelsey have been engaged for approximately 16 months. Although this seems like an extensive period, their hesitance to tie the knot was ideal for their relationship.

The pair will be glad they took the time post-filming to settle into their new dynamics. The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple have openly spoken about the insufficient time spent bonding on the show. The Bachelor often films over eight weeks. During this time, the lead is expected to juggle relationships with several dozen contestants. Joan and Chock didn't feel like they knew each other well despite their engagement during the finale.

They had a similar perspective regarding taking the engagement slowly and would likely postpone the wedding further. This more realistic timeframe will serve the couple well. Joey and Kelsey will also benefit from their grounded decision, but this couple seems prepared to commit now.

Joey & Kelsey Are Finally Planning Their Wedding

Joey & Kelsey Can Focus On Preparations

The couple has spoken about this next stage in their relationship with E! News. Kelsey revealed that Joey brought up the planning and implied it was not a pressing issue for her. The star admitted: “I don't really have a whole lot of ideas going into it. I've never planned my wedding before.” While the date and location have not yet been settled, Kelsey has an idea of the overall atmosphere. She hopes for “something timeless” and has begun compiling inspiration online.

The model and influencer brought up rumors regarding a supposed pregnancy announcement. Kelsey went to TikTok to sarcastically confirm these rumors. The budding influencer suggests, “I’m pregnant! I found out this morning on Facebook.” She goes on to mock the unsubstantiated claims, highlighting the fact that she was never pregnant, specifically with twins. She joked that she and Joey were already preparing names for their little girl and boy. The boy would be named “Bach” while the girl would be named “Elor” as a beautiful tribute to the show.

I Think They'll Be Married Before The Golden Bachelorette's Joan & Chock

Joey And Kelsey Have Already Taken The Time They Needed

Joey and Kelsey are ready for their marriage and the sacrifices that come with it. The pair has done everything in their power to ensure the success of their relationship. Despite their long-distance relationship, while Joey juggled his performances and online career, the couple traveled regularly to spend holidays and special moments together.

While Joey and Kelsey had different ideals regarding their new home, as Kelsey preferred New York and Joey loved L.A., they compromised. Kelsey embraced Los Angeles on behalf of her fiancé and moved to the city. She may have felt attached to New York, but she was willing to make a massive sacrifice for the relationship.

The couple has already begun preparations for their wedding, and this timeframe seems more concrete than Joan and Chock’s continuously postponed wedding. Joan and Chock want to enjoy their engagement before legally committing to each other. This dynamic seems to have worked wonders for Joey and Kelsey. The Bachelor alums will undoubtedly commit before any other. They are more than ready for this milestone.
