Summary
Since the finale ofThe Bachelorseason 28, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have really leaned into their newfound celebrity, but a recent island getaway has sparked renewed criticism of their lifestyle. In a tale as old as reality television itself, Joey and Kelsey had their normal, average lives turned upside down by their newfound public notoriety. Before 28-year-old Joey appeared on Charity Lawson’s season ofThe Bachelorette, he was an unknown tennis teacher living a life of relative obscurity in Hawaii.
Joey wasn’t able to win Charity’s final rose, but being her runner-up led to another shot at finding love, as he was cast as the lead ofThe Bachelorseason 28. He was introduced to 32 single women, the highest number of any previous season, and he ended up giving his final rose, and his heart, to 25-year-old Kesley Anderson. Since going public with their relationship,Joey and Kelsey have been living it up and enjoying their newfound fameto the fullest, which has led to enormous criticism, especially after the stars made some disturbing public comments about their finances.
