Joey Graziadei, the popular contestant from The Bachelor, along with his fiancée Kelsey Anderson, recently relocated to Los Angeles just ahead of the devastating wildfires. Fortunately, the couple’s new residence managed to evade the flames. At 28 years old, Joey is a former tennis professional hailing from Hawaii. He first appeared on television in season 20 of The Bachelorette, where he reached the final two but ultimately lost out on love to Dotun Olubeko, leaving him heartbroken. However, his journey took a pivotal turn when he was given the lead role on The Bachelor.
During the premiere of season 28 of The Bachelor, Joey met Kelsey, who is 25 years old. She was one of 32 women vying for his affection at the iconic Bachelor mansion. Instantly, there was chemistry between them, leading to a deepening connection throughout the season. As anticipated, when the final rose ceremony approached, Joey proposed to Kelsey, who excitedly accepted. After some time in New Orleans, the couple decided to make Los Angeles their new home, setting the stage for the unforeseen challenges that would follow with the wildfires.
