The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei partnered with another company, this time to go on a “dream date,” as his relationship with Kelsey Anderson continues to be the subject of much speculation. After being rejected on The Bachelorette with Charity Lawson, Joey was given a second chance via The Bachelor season 28, during which he met, fell in love with, and proposed to Kelsey. This couple became fan-favorites in the Bachelor franchise, though questions have been raised in recent weeks over alleged financial issues and whether their relationship is strong enough to last.

As he becomes a social media influencer, Joey is once again partnering with another company for promotional purposes. In a video posted on his Instagram account with The Dodo, whose Instagram bio says it is “for animal people,” Joey was featured going on a “dream date” with none other than a 3-year-old dog named Chloe. The purpose of the video was to promote the dog online so she can be adopted. The Dodo has posted videos in the past with other celebrities paired up with shelter dogs for “blind dates” to promote pet adoption.

The Bachelor star said he was so excited for the opportunity and added that his “date” loves tennis balls, which is hilarious considering Joey is a tennis player. After he told Chloe, “I think people are going to watch this date and see how amazing you are,” the video cut to Joey hitting a tennis ball across a court for the dog to catch on the other side of the net. Later on during their “first date,” Joey’s sister Carly Monzo showed up to hang out with Chloe.

Can Joey & Kelsey Prevent Relationship Rumors From Continuing?

Joey & Kelsey Should Post More Videos Like “Dream Date”

It’s interesting that Joey’s sister is featured in the video but not his own fiancé. However, Kelsey did make an appearance in the comments section of the Instagram post. The Bachelor season 28 winner admitted that she and Joey would probably have adopted Chloe if they weren’t traveling so much. “Can’t wait to see what lucky family gets to love on her” instead, she added.

Joey recently started posting some promotional videos on his social media pages. Even though the Dodo video doesn’t say “sponsored” on the post, it appears that it could be, though that isn’t confirmed and his participation might have just been on a volunteer basis considering the cause they’re promoting. The Bachelor star is using his public platform for good not just to earn money amid speculation that Joey allegedly had financial issues but also to promote worthy causes like adoption.

While Joey and Kelsey sometimes post videos that call out the latest rumors and even put specific social media users on blast, a video like the Dodo dream date feels more suited to their personalities. The engaged reality stars are an adorable couple who clearly have great chemistry with each other; they sometimes poke fun at each other in a lighthearted manner. Letting their natural personalities shine in their social media posts and videos is a good step to dissuading online backlash, and they should stick to this lane and tune out the unnecessary noise surrounding their relationship.
