Joey Graziadei Attends Golden Bachelorette’s ‘Men Tell All’ Special Without Fiancee Kelsey Anderson

Joey Graziadei was noticeably flying solo when he attended the Golden Bachelorette’s Men Tell All taping. The former Bachelor revealed that his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, “couldn’t be here,” so he was in the audience to support her dad, Mark Anderson, who was a contestant on The Golden Bachelorette.

Joey, 29, offered words of support to Mark, 57, and let him know that he and Kelsey, 26, were “so proud” of him. Joan Vassos eliminated Mark ahead of hometown dates on the show.

The Men Tell All aired on Wednesday, November 6, but was filmed back on October 23 in Los Angeles. Joey didn’t specify why Kelsey couldn’t make it to the taping, but according to her social media activity, she was in New Orleans for the Taylor Swift concert on October 27 and spent a few days before that in her native city to celebrate Halloween with friends.

Still, there has been growing concern among fans about Kelsey and Joey’s relationship in recent weeks. On Tuesday, November 5, she added to the speculation by writing on her Instagram Story, “Haven’t been on social media much the past couple days due to personal reasons but hoping everyone used their privilege to vote today or mailed in their votes. And now we all cross our fingers and wait … and maybe have a glass of wine … or the whole bottle.”

Before her followers could get into a frenzy, she followed it up with another slide that said, “Don’t want yall to get the wrong idea. Joey and I are good.”

Kelsey has also been in the audience for all of Joey’s Dancing With the Stars performances since September. Still, the former Tennis instructor’s time on the show has led to fans questioning how Kelsey feels about his intimate rehearsals and performances with professional partner Jenna Johnson.

In September, Kelsey shut down speculation that she had an issue with Joey and Jenna’s dancing. “So many people are like, ‘Kelsey, why is Jenna touching your man like that?’ And honestly, I don’t know… Maybe because it’s her job? Maybe because she’s a professional dancer and she has to touch him to dance? I don’t know, that’s my understanding of it,” she told her TikTok followers. “I’m just so tired of everyone being like, ‘Kelsey’s so strong, I could not do this, I could not watch this if I was Kelsey.”

On October 16, she also addressed a social media critic who said that something seemed “off” between her and Joey at the previous night’s DWTS taping. “Last night was dedication night and a lot of people dedicated their songs to people who made a big impact in their life – people they lost, people they’ve seen suffer through illnesses – and there were a couple moms [referenced] as well,” Kelsey shared. “So it was a hard night for me, seeing as I lost my mom six years ago to breast cancer. I really resonated with a lot of these stories of having amazing moms and all these things.”

Kelsey admitted that the observer was correct in recognizing that “something wasn’t right” with her, but insisted it was not because of any relationship issues. “I was missing my mom a little extra,” she said. “[And] Joey’s dance was so beautiful and it meant a lot to me and it did make me emotional because he dedicated it to me.”
