Kelsey Anderson, known from “The Bachelor,” was seen enjoying a casual outing in New Orleans, attending local events and showcasing her life in the city after her hometown date with Joey Graziadei.
After taking Joey Graziadei around her hometown of New Orleans on *The Bachelor*, Kelsey Anderson decided to chill a bit. She was spotted hanging out at Wednesdays at the Square, a local concert series. It was a casual Wednesday evening, March 20.
Kelsey, 28, rocked lime green trousers that day. She paired them with a cream sleeveless turtleneck sweater and brown suede loafers. Oh, and she had this sweater casually draped over her shoulders, accessorizing with a black shoulder bag and some shiny gold jewelry.
Seems like she went straight from work to the concert. She was photographed with what looked like a work ID hanging from her belt loop. Busy day, huh?
The next day, she was at a fundraiser for HandsOn New Orleans. This nonprofit helps fund volunteer programs around the city. Kelsey shared a snap on her Instagram Story, wine glass in hand, from the wine-tasting event on Thursday, March 21.
And there’s more. On another Thursday Instagram Story, Kelsey showed some love for New Orleans’ upcoming Holi celebration. She was all praises for Indian culture, encouraging people to either volunteer or just join the celebration in the quarter that Saturday. 😚
Fans got a peek into Kelsey’s Louisiana life during her *Bachelor* hometown date on March 4. After a bike ride around the city and some beignets with Joey, she introduced him to her family. Her dad, Mark, her brother Matthew, and her sister, Taylor, all made an appearance. Sadly, Kelsey’s mom, Denise, passed away from breast cancer in 2018. Two of Kelsey’s siblings, brother Pascal and sister Jordan, were missing from the hometown date.
Kelsey, who grew up on a U.S. military base in Germany before moving to New Orleans, didn’t confess her feelings during that episode. But, Joey seemed to win her dad over during their date.
“I feel very, very happy,” Mark shared in a confessional. He seemed hopeful about Joey and Kelsey’s connection. “I understand there’s still the other women, but I think Joey will take care of Kelsey. I do hope she’s engaged when she comes home.”
Stars, they’re just like us! They can’t get enough of the Bachelor franchise. Over the years, many celebs have shared their obsession with the show. For instance, in 2016, Donnie Wahlberg wrote over 1,000 words about his Bachelor obsession for Chicago Splash. “How I lost […]”
Kelsey finally dropped the L-word during their fantasy suite date in Mexico. Joey reciprocated her feelings. “We both agree [that] when she was falling in Montreal, I was falling too,” Joey told *Us Weekly* earlier this month. He wanted to be intentional with his words, hence the delay.
However, a conversation with *The Golden Bachelor* runner-up Leslie Fhima in Mexico left Kelsey questioning her connection with Joey. She left him a note saying, “We need to talk.”
Kelsey explained her feelings during a clip shown during Monday, March 18’s *Women Tell All* episode. She talked about the difficulty of not seeing Joey and the hard days in between. “I just really wanted to verbalize that it’s hard not seeing you and the days in between are always so hard. All these feelings of, like, missing [you] and wondering. … I just want to tell you how much I miss you when you aren’t there.”
Despite the confusion, Joey chose Kelsey as one of his final two contestants, along with Daisy Kent. This meant saying goodbye to Rachel Nance.
*The Bachelor* season 28 finale is set to air on ABC Monday at 8 p.m. ET. Don’t miss it!
