With all the early drama that brewed on Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor season, it was easy to miss some of the connections being built in the background — like the one between Joey and Kelsey Anderson.

The 25-year-old from New Orleans presented Joey with a voodoo doll in his image on Night 1, playfully suggesting that magic could bring the pair together. And maybe she was right? As the season progresses, it seems increasingly possible that Joey and Kelsey A. are together after The Bachelor.

Their Sweet Interactions

The pair have shared some adorable moments so far. When Kelsey was asked at the ASKN talent show in Week 3 what she’d do if she were stuck in an elevator with Joey, she simply suggested they’d “make some new memories.” The answer had the bachelor blushing.

“I’m just so excited about you, Kelsey,” he said during a private chat later. “I’ll say it time and time again. Like, there’s just something here that I almost can’t describe, but it feels so right.”

In Week 4, they had another romantic moment, with Joey hinting that he’d singled Kelsey out from the rest of his contestants. “With that many girls ... I felt like I couldn’t stop focusing on you the entire time,” he said of their group date in Malta.

Things got more serious from there, with Joey and Kelsey sharing several one-on-one dates and learning more about each other’s families. Ultimately, their date in Jasper, Alberta — the last before Hometowns! — seemed to seal Kelsey’s fate as a major front-runner for Joey’s final rose, with Joey declaring their dinner talk the “best conversation we’ve ever had.”

Social Media Sleuthing

Looking for clues about Joey and Kelsey’s relationship status on social media? Kaity Biggar, Ariel Frenkel, and other alums from Zach Shallcross’ Bachelor season recently watched Week 4 together and shared their front-runners in an Instagram Q&A on Ariel’s account.

Kaity mentioned Kelsey as a standout and gave the New Orleans native a shoutout on her own Instagram, saying she was “obsessed” with her and Joey’s cocktail party kiss.

Dissecting Bachelor Nation alums’ opinions on contestants isn’t a foolproof method for uncovering spoilers. But they have been through this process, and perhaps they can pick up on patterns regular viewers can’t. (During Zach’s season, for example, Joe Amabile correctly predicted Charity Lawson would go far.)

Yes, There Are Spoilers About Joey & Kelsey A.

If you’ve read this far, you probably don’t mind seeing what Reality Steve has to say about Joey and Kelsey’s relationship after The Bachelor. But just in case, potential spoilers ahead!

Reality Steve first reported that Kelsey makes it to Fantasy Suites, but doesn’t secure the final rose. But this isn’t the end for the contestant. More recently, a separate Bachelor Nation sleuth shared findings on Reddit that seemed to place Joey and Kelsey at the same “safe house” after filming.

Then, on Feb. 27, Reality Steve acknowledged that his original spoiler was incorrect — and reported that Joey and Kelsey got engaged and have been together since.
