The 5 Key Milestones Since Their Engagement
While many Bachelor Nation couples struggle to maintain their relationship outside the bubble of the show, Joey and Kelsey have been thriving. Their journey has been marked by several significant steps that confirm their commitment is stronger than ever.
1. Celebrating Their Two-Year Engagement Anniversary
The couple officially celebrated their two-year anniversary in November 2025. This milestone is a huge indicator of success within the franchise, where many engagements do not last past the one-year mark. Their ability to navigate the intense public scrutiny and transition to a "normal" relationship speaks volumes about their genuine connection and commitment to "forever."
2. The Big Move to Los Angeles
A major step in their relationship was finally moving in together. After spending time between Joey’s former home in Hawaii and Kelsey’s in New Orleans, the couple made the decision to settle down in Los Angeles, California, in late 2024/early 2025. Moving in together is often the most significant post-show test, and the pair has shared that they are enjoying their day-to-day life as a cohabiting couple.
3. Prioritizing Career and Personal Goals
Both Joey and Kelsey have been focused on their careers and personal growth. Joey’s continued presence in the entertainment sphere, including his involvement with *Dancing With the Stars*, and Kelsey’s work as a Junior Project Manager, shows they are building a stable life outside of the reality TV spotlight. This focus on individual success, rather than rushing to the altar, is a sign of a mature and grounded partnership.
4. Starting the Wedding Planning Process (Finally!)
Despite the lack of a set date, Kelsey Anderson has confirmed that she and Joey have officially started the wedding planning process. This is a new and exciting development for Bachelor Nation fans. While they haven't locked down a venue or a specific month, the initial steps—like discussing logistics and a general timeline—are a strong sign that wedding bells are indeed in their future.
5. The Shocking 2027 Wedding Timeline
Perhaps the most surprising update is the couple’s candidness about a potentially long engagement. Despite being engaged for over two years, Joey and Kelsey have suggested that their wedding might not take place until 2027. This extended timeline is a conscious decision to enjoy their engagement, travel, and settle into their new life in L.A. without the immense pressure of a rushed, televised wedding. While some fans might be disappointed by the wait, the couple insists their focus is on having a wedding that is completely "theirs," whenever they decide to have it.
What’s Next for Joey and Kelsey: The Long Engagement Strategy
The current status of Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson is a resounding "Yes, they are still engaged," but with a unique, long-term approach to marriage. Their decision to wait until 2027 or later is a strategic move that many successful *Bachelor* couples have adopted.
This "slow and steady" strategy allows them to:
- Settle into L.A. Life: They are still adjusting to living together full-time in a new city.
- Save and Plan: A longer engagement provides ample time to save money and meticulously plan a wedding that meets their vision, rather than one dictated by a TV contract.
- Maintain Privacy: By not rushing into a televised event, they can keep more of their relationship private and focus on building a strong foundation.
In a recent interview, Joey mentioned that they are planning on having their wedding "sometime soon," but the 2027 timeline remains the most specific update. Regardless of the date, the couple is consistently sharing their life updates, travel adventures, and romantic moments on social media, keeping the *Bachelor Nation* community fully invested in their future. Their journey proves that a long engagement, built on a strong, real-world connection, is the key to lasting success after the final rose.
