The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson tried to outshine the negativity surrounding their relationship and prove that they are “soulmates,” even though there may be some concerns. Kelsey was Joey’s pick when he was the lead during The Bachelor season 28, which came as a shock when it seemed like Joey would be choosing Daisy Kent. However, he is confident in his decision to give Kelsey the final rose, and he puts a lot of effort into proving that she is the right choice for him, despite accusations that they’re constantly throwing up red flags.

“Couldn’t be more perfect, every pic I see of you guys [are] just perfect.”

Joey and Kelsey have not let the negativity stop them from proceeding with their plans for the future, including taking their engagement photos. A recent post by @capturedbychloe.co on Instagram showed a video of Joey and Kelsey’s engagement session, with a caption that read, “Joey + Kelsey’s love is one for the storybooks,” and included audio of a man talking about what a soulmate is. In the video, Joey and Kelsey adoringly wandered through a beautiful wooded area, and Joey picked Kelsey up and spun her around romantically; the couple appeared to be deeply in love with each other.

Are Concerns About Joey & Kelsey’s Relationship Finally Disappearing?

Joey & Kelsey May Have Beaten The Negativity

The engagement session beautifully depicted Joey and Kelsey’s relationship, and the feeling of hope and positivity may be winning out over their previous naysayers. While there were the usual negative comments on the post, there were many that had a supportive, happy tone. Out of the many comments, one commenter, @sbeth124, said, “I’m crying over a couple I’ve never met. This is SO beautiful!!!!!” Another supporter, @nikkirich_2, left a heartfelt message, saying, “Couldn’t be more perfect, every pic I see of you guys [is] just perfect. You deserve it all. @Kelseyanderson your mom is smiling down on you and Joey.”

“The only couple from The Bachelor I follow because their love seems so genuine.”

Support for Joey and Kelsey is growing faster than the criticism, with many comments on the post expressing excitement for the couple to get married. One happy comment from @chinery2hand read, “The only couple from The Bachelor I follow because their love seems so genuine.” Another supportive member of Bachelor Nation seemed thrilled that the wedding may be happening soon. @Sadeo101yates excitedly asked, “Wait are we getting closer to wedding day?!?!?!” Other comments appeared to be happy that progress was being made, such as @shanieedepp, who said, “OK this is progress. One step closer to the wedding video let’s go.”

Though they have been facing intense criticism since The Bachelor season 28 finale, Joey and Kelsey have consistently been united against the hate. Joey and Kelsey have been taking lavish vacations all around the world as a way to spend time together and strengthen their bond. These vacations have come under fire because they seem to be more than Kelsey and Joey should be able to afford with their current financial situation. Joey has put his tennis coaching career on pause, while Kelsey quit her job in project management so they can focus on the opportunity to be influencers.

Joey and Kelsey have been open about the joy and happiness they bring each other, and they have continued to be remarkably kind about the criticism their relationship has garnered. While true, they may have a few obstacles to overcome, including Joey moving into a house shared by Kelsey and her roommates. These are not the type of issues that should immediately end a relationship, especially since they are young and have plans to become financially stable once the chance to be influencers has passed. It is time to let Joey and Kelsey soak up their time in the spotlight.
