HOT NEWS: In Los Angeles, Joey Graziadei And Kelsey Anderson had a major problem that left fans worried about the couple…see more

After months of hemming and hawing, The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have picked a city to settle down in, but did they make the right choice? 28-year-old Joey and 26-year-old Kelsey have been through a lot of changes over the last few years, as well as their share of ups and downs. The journey began long before the couple even knew of each other’s existence. It all started when Joey appeared as a contestant on Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. Joey made it to the final two, but Charity gave her final rose to someone else.

Joey was devastated, but in hindsight, it would be the best thing that ever happened to the former tennis pro from Hawaii. He was cast as The Bachelor and introduced to 25-year-old Kelsey, who was one of the 32 single women vying for Joey’s heart. After a season of falling in love, Joey gives Kelsey his final rose, and the two get engaged. Since then, their lives have changed completely, and they’ve been trying to decide where they’d settle down. They recently announced they’d chosen a city to live in, but time will tell if they made the right choice.

Joey & Kelsey Lived In New Orleans At First

Before being cast in The Bachelor season 28, Joey lived in Hawaii but gave up his apartment when he left to film Charity’s season of The Bachelorette. After his elimination, Joey didn’t want to sign a new lease since he knew he’d be off filming The Bachelor. He decided to stay with his sister in the interim, knowing he’d have plenty of time to figure it out after his season. That’s how he found himself without a place to live after cameras stopped rolling on his season of The Bachelor.For her part, Kelsey lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, before being on The Bachelor. The former junior project manager shared a rental with several female roommates. After she and Joey got engaged, they wanted to live together right away, so they both moved into Kelsey’s old place, alongside her multiple female roommates. The couple was traveling a lot at the time, so the set-up worked for them. It was never supposed to be a long-term solution, and the couple were already talking about potential cities to live in when Joey got a job opportunity that changed everything.

What Joey & Kelsey Were Looking For In A Home

Before moving to Los Angeles for Dancing With The Stars season 33, Joey and Kelsey went back and forth about where they wanted to live. Kelsey had always wanted to live in New York City, where she could pursue her modeling career. For his part, Joey wanted a lifestyle that involved being outdoors a lot, like he had when he lived in Hawaii. For a while, it seemed like The Bachelor season 28 couple decided to move to the Big Apple, but the engaged couple changed their minds after living in Los Angeles for a few months.

Joey Got What He Wanted

Joey recently appeared on the Lightweights with Joe Vulpis podcast on YouTube, where he revealed he and Kelsey had decided to stay in Los Angeles. It’s a little strange that Kelsey wasn’t there with him, and it’s unclear if she was upset by his big public revelation about their living arrangement. In the end, it’s clear Joey got his way, and Kelsey’s dream of living in the Big Apple was put on the back burner. At least the young couple won’t have to keep living with Kelsey’s roommates.

Los Angeles is a city with a lot going for it, but there are also significant downsides. For one thing, many former Bachelor Nations contestants live in Los Angeles, so Joey and Kelsey will be part of a big social network. Though that may seem like a good thing, it can also lead to conflict and drama. On the plus side, since The Bachelor is filmed in Los Angeles, there’s something lovely about Joey and Kelsey wanting to live where they first met.
