After an emotional season finale of “The Bachelor,” Joey Graziadei proposed to Kelsey Anderson, marking the end of his journey on the show as an engaged man. The proposal came after a dramatic episode where Kelsey rode to her proposal alongside runner-up Daisy Kent, with Joey ultimately choosing Kelsey after expressing his love and envisioning a beautiful future together.
Joey Graziadei proposed to Kelsey Anderson in the emotional season finale of The Bachelor, after a journey filled with tough decisions and a strong connection that led to their engagement.
So, there was this emotional rollercoaster of a season finale, right? Bachelor Joey Graziadei, a 28-year-old tennis pro, finally popped the question. And guess what? Kelsey Anderson said yes on that fateful Monday, March 25 finale.
Joey’s proposal speech? Oh, it was something. He goes, “I know there’s a lot of tough decisions through this journey, and that’s what makes today really difficult. But there is nothing difficult about choosing you.” Talk about a heart-melter. He didn’t stop there, though. He mentioned something about an “infectious energy” and a “strong flame” that Kelsey supposedly has. Quite poetic, don’t you think?
But wait, there’s a twist. Just minutes before Joey got down on one knee, Kelsey and the runner-up, Daisy Kent, arrived together. Drama, right? Joey met Daisy first, and she ended things, realizing they weren’t meant to be.
Earlier in the episode, Kelsey was all dreamy, talking about a “spectacular” life with Joey. She was like, “I can just see our future so clearly together.” Honestly, it was pretty cute.
Despite it all seeming obvious that Kelsey would snag Joey’s final rose, she was still a bundle of nerves. Terrified, even, about the possibility of a breakup. “It gets me emotional,” she admitted.
Joey had dropped the L-bomb during their fantasy suite dates, telling both women he was “falling in love.” When Us Weekly poked around for deets earlier this month, Joey spilled the beans about when he fell for Kelsey.
He reminisced about Montreal, saying, “We were going a lot of off feelings, but there wasn’t really words being exchanged.” But it was after their second one-on-one in Jasper that he knew. “That was when I kind of truly knew that I was falling in love with her,” he confessed.
Oh, and for those keeping tabs on Bachelor Nation couples, some are still going strong. Remember Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter? They’re practically royalty, celebrating 19 years of marriage in December 2022.
Rumors swirled when Kelsey and Joey seemed to share photos with the same background on social media in February. Joey played coy, telling Us, “Obviously anything that comes out like that, I can’t really speak on it.”
And there you have it. The Bachelor saga continues with “After the Final Rose” on ABC. Honestly, who needs scripted drama when you’ve got this?
