Wedding bells are ringing for “Bachelor” alum Joey Graziadei! He’s gearing up for his big day after popping the question to his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson.
During a new interview on the sports podcast “Throwbacks with Matt Leinart & Jerry Ferrara,” he told the hosts, “Engagement life has been fun.”
Joey continued, “Definitely just a different section of my life that I’ve been looking forward to where I get this ability to kind of just fall into comfortability in this relationship with someone that, as you said, I outkicked my coverage and I was so lucky to meet, but it’s been really nice.”
The couple met and got engaged during their time on “The Bachelor” season 28 in March 2024. Since appearing on the hit ABC dating show, Joey and Kelsey have been keeping busy with work and planning their nuptials.
The reality star took home the Mirrorball Trophy on “Dancing with the Stars” season 33 with pro Jenna Johnson, then Joey landed the role as the first-ever host of the “Dancing with the Stars Official Podcast.”
With the help of celebrity wedding planning duo Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor of SAMKOMA, the couple’s highly anticipated wedding is sure to be dreamy. The company has worked with several celebrities, including “DWTS” pro Britt Stewart’s marriage to Daniel Durant.
“I feel like as of this last probably half a year to a year, we’ve really hit our stride in separating this idea of coming off a TV show and starting our real life and figuring out what makes the most sense for us,” Joey, 30, said.
“Wedding is going to be sometime in 2027. I owe my wedding planner a text back as of two days ago, so I need to get on that,” he joked. “We’re in the full thick of it, but it’s so fun because now we’re really starting to picture what that day is going to be looking like.”
When Ferrara asked Joey when he plans to say, ‘I Do,’ he joked, “I’m just guessing you’re not going to be Sunday, 1 p.m. fall wedding?”
Joey, who is a former teaching tennis pro and Green Bay Packers fan, replied, “I feel like we’re looking at a spring wedding where sports are a little bit more dead. I think that’s the strongest [option].”
‘Throwbacks’ is produced by AMP Media, a subsidiary of Sinclair, Inc.
