The Bachelor: Drama With Former Love Rival – Kelsey Anderson Shows Off Surprising Friendship (Signs She’s Sending a Message)
The Bachelor season 28 star Kelsey Anderson is flaunting a surprising friendship with a former romantic rival, and she’s posting receipts on social media. Kelsey, a 26-year-old from New Orleans, Louisiana, made her television debut alongside 31 other eligible young bachelorettes vying for the heart of 28-year-old tennis pro, Joey Graziadei. After a season of incredible dates and romantic outings, Joey gave his heart, and final rose, to Kelsey.
In addition to giving her his final rose, Joey proposed to Kelsey during The Bachelor season 28 finale. Since appearing on the show, Joey and Kelsey have become major social media influencers with massive followings on both Instagrams and TikToks, and they’ve received impressive sponsorship deals with major companies, including Amazon. The pair have been enjoying their new celebrity lifestyles, and Kelsey was recently spotted partying with a very familiar face.
Kelsey & Joey’s Bachelor Nation Friends
Since appearing on The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey have been spotted hanging out with various Bachelor Nation stars. Soon after their season aired, the couple traveled to Hawaii with past Bachelor couples Charity Lawson and Dotun Olukembo, as well as Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar. Joey competed on Charity’s season of The Bachelorette, but Charity chose Dotun instead.
Zach appeared in The Bachelorette season 19, which featured double leads Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. When he didn’t find love with either woman, he was cast as the lead of The Bachelor season 27, where he met his fiancé, Kaity. Kesley has also been spotted with Joey’s runner-up, Daisy Kent.
Kelsey Is Friends With Maria Too
They’ve Been Spotted Partying Together
Recently, Kelsey posted Instagram photos from a party night, and among them is a photo of Kelsey playfully posing in a car with 30-year-old Maria Gorgas. It’s an odd move for Kelsey to spend time with Maria because of the awkwardness of their shared history, but they could be hanging out for clout.
Kelsey’s post has a whopping 183.9K likes, and her caption reads, ” beep beep. ”
Maria made it to the final four during The Bachelor season 28, but Joey sent her home after her hometown date. Fans were crushed by Maria’s elimination, as she was a highly entertaining crowd favorite. There was some hope that she could be The Bachelorette, but Maria turned the role down.
