Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson’s Celebrity Lifestyle Soars After DWTS Win: A Look at Their Rise to Fame and Egos

The Bachelor couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson find their celebrity status rapidly evolving, especially following Joey’s recent triumph on Dancing With The Stars. This victory not only spotlighted Joey but also seems to have influenced their public personas, with a noticeable impact on their self-assuredness. At 28, Joey, a tennis professional hailing from Hawaii, initially gained popularity as a contestant on The Bachelorette, where he made it to the final two with Charity Lawson, who ultimately chose Dotun Olubeko. Although heartbroken by this rejection, it eventually led him to Kelsey, whom he now considers the love of his life.

Joey’s emotional journey took a significant turn when he became the beloved lead in The Bachelor, season 28. Among the 32 stunning contestants was Kelsey, a 26-year-old project manager from New Orleans. Their chemistry blossomed early in the season, culminating in Joey presenting Kelsey with his final rose and their subsequent engagement. However, the question remains: has Joey’s victory on DWTS altered their relationship dynamic?

How Joey’s DWTS Success Shifted Their Trajectory

Rising Stardom

Upon receiving the invitation to join season 33 of Dancing With The Stars, Joey embraced the opportunity, prompting him and Kelsey to relocate to Los Angeles for the live tapings. As a former athlete, Joey was expected to shine, and he did just that by earning the prestigious Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, showcasing impressive skills alongside his professional partner, Jenna Johnson.

This experience transformed their lives dramatically. As Joey captured hearts on a high-visibility television platform, Kelsey supported him from the audience, leading to a substantial boost in their celebrity appeal. While dedicated followers from Bachelor Nation were already familiar with them, DWTS introduced them to a broader demographic, expanding their fan base significantly.

Embracing Their New Fame

Leveraging Their Influence

Post-engagement, Joey and Kelsey have strategically harnessed their newfound fame to forge a promising career as social media influencers. Currently, Joey boasts approximately 979k followers on Instagram and 401k on TikTok, while Kelsey has attracted a following of 822k on Instagram and 648k on TikTok. This growing audience has opened doors to numerous sponsorship opportunities, though their rapid ascendance in the public eye may also trigger a sense of inflated egos.

Their remarkable rise has led to lucrative partnerships with prominent brands, including Wawa and Amazon. Notably, the couple has collaborated with the luxury tequila brand Patron. A recent Instagram post showcased a vibrant evening out with Patron, featuring a carousel of images that reveal their celebratory night. The post garnered nearly 61k likes, with Joey sharing, “Finally back in LA and celebrating with my friends and @patron.”
