The Bachelor season 28 winner Kelsey Anderson is currently navigating a tumultuous period as rumors swirl about a potential breakup with her fiancé, Joey Graziadei. After their engagement on the show, Joey and Kelsey began an exciting journey together, filled with travel and new experiences as a couple. However, their relationship has faced significant hurdles, including accusations of living beyond their means, financial struggles, and persistent breakup rumors. While they often choose to remain silent about the gossip, there have been instances where they felt compelled to respond to the speculation surrounding their relationship.

Joey recently shared insights on how his participation in Dancing With The Stars has proven to be one of the greatest challenges for his relationship with Kelsey. He candidly admitted, “It was difficult at times,” referring to the external scrutiny surrounding his dance partnership with Jenna Johnson. Joey elaborated that there were days when he returned home from rehearsals feeling utterly exhausted, making it challenging to reconnect with Kelsey immediately. Transitioning from one reality show to another, rather than focusing solely on his relationship, appears to have impacted them both, leading to a struggle to maintain their bond.

Kelsey Expresses Her Upset Amid Ongoing Breakup Speculations

Navigating Emotional Turmoil

Having been engaged for a year, Kelsey is feeling the weight of their prolonged engagement. Recently, she took to TikTok to humorously share her feelings about going through the “stages of grief” as the U.S. government prepares for a potential TikTok ban, which could significantly impact many influencers. In her video, Kelsey expressed that she had just begun to feel comfortable creating content on the platform, only to face the possibility of its demise.

“They’re literally targeting me. Like U.S. government, if you are jealous of me, you could’ve just said it. You didn’t have to do all this.”

While Kelsey approached the situation with humor, her post revealed her genuine distress regarding the looming TikTok ban, which could greatly affect her income and daily life. As rumors of a breakup continue to circulate about her and Joey, TikTok was a platform where she showcased the lighter, fun aspects of their relationship. Without that outlet to share their joyful moments, it’s likely that more breakup rumors will emerge as they navigate this challenging time.

Kelsey’s New Living Situation Adding to Relationship Stress

The Strain of Relocating Together

With Joey’s journey on Dancing With The Stars concluding, the couple finally had the opportunity to move into their own place. After leaving the East Coast, they began a fresh chapter in California, leaving Kelsey?s roommates behind for a more private living environment. Unfortunately, the timing of their move coincided with a chaotic period, as wildfires wreak havoc across Los Angeles.

Understanding Their Delayed Wedding Plans

Joey and Kelsey have been deliberately vague regarding their wedding plans. Since getting engaged in November 2023, over a year has passed, yet they seem to lack any concrete plans for their wedding.

Without a clear timeline in sight, it appears Joey and Kelsey are delaying their wedding for reasons that remain somewhat ambiguous. They have both indicated that marriage may feel like a more significant commitment than they are currently prepared for, but they have primarily stressed the importance of focusing on strengthening their bond first. While this perspective is understandable, their statements often create more uncertainty about the future of their relationship and the potential for marriage.
