The Bachelor: Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson Discuss Future Babies Amid New Living Situation

Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, who became engaged during the latest season of The Bachelor, are currently navigating their visions for parenthood and family life, and it seems they may not fully align. At 28, Hawaii native Joey, a professional tennis player, first entered the spotlight on Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. Following his runner-up finish, he was elevated to the role of The Bachelor.

The 28th season launched with Joey welcoming an unprecedented 32 women to the renowned Bachelor mansion. Among them was 26-year-old Kelsey, a junior project manager based in New Orleans. Their journey culminated with Joey offering Kelsey not only his final rose but also a sparkling diamond engagement ring, solidifying their relationship as one to watch. Since their engagement, the couple has been engaged in discussions about their aspirations for the future, particularly concerning the possibility of children.

Family Background Influences Their Views

Growing Up in Full Houses

Joey and Kelsey both hail from large families, which shaped their perspectives on what a home full of children feels like. Joey has two sisters, while Kelsey is one of five siblings. This shared experience undoubtedly fuels their desire to create a similar dynamic in their own future family. Notably, family ties run deep on the show; Kelsey’s father, Mark Anderson, has also made his mark as a contestant on Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette.

In a recent episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast, Kelsey openly discussed the disparity between her and Joey’s ideas about parenting. She expressed her desire to have a large family, highlighting her hopes to adopt as well. In contrast, Joey has indicated a preference for having two or three children—a significant yet more conservative family size by today’s standards.

Kelsey’s strong bond with her father and siblings emphasizes her vision for a bustling home filled with love and companionship.

Following their time in New Orleans after the show, Joey and Kelsey relocated to Los Angeles for Joey’s participation in Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars. After clinching the championship title alongside his dance partner Jenna Johnson, the couple decided to make Los Angeles their permanent residence. This move to a bustling urban environment might suggest that the couple isn’t planning to expand their family right away.
