Why Kelsey Anderson Isn’t Wearing Engagement Ring From Joey Graziadei

Kelsey Anderson’s relationship is rock solid—with or without her rock.

The former Bachelor contestant addressed a query on social media regarding her engagement ring from partner Joey Graziadei, reassuring the inquirer that everything was fine.

She stated in a recent TikTok post, “I’m not wearing it,” implying that she is still engaged because the ring is merely a symbolic representation.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement over the continued strength of Kelsey, 26, and Joey, 29. Yet, in a recent disclosure, Kelsey herself admitted that her precious ring has started to show signs of wear and tear.

She clarified that one of the diamonds came loose due to her previous handling, and as a result, she’s now being more careful with it.

But despite her best efforts, Kelsey is aware of the fascination with her romantic life.

She continued, “Even though it’s an open relationship, people are surprised. But rest assured, everything is going smoothly where I am.

In November 2024, there were rumors about the separation of this pair when Kelsey stepped away from social media platforms. However, Joey swiftly responded, assuring their fans that everything was fine.

Joey explained to TopMob News that the situation started due to a couple of days when she wasn’t online, leading others to jump to conclusions. During this period, she was actually taking some time off for her mental health, which may have led people to speculate.

Toward the end of that particular month, Kelsey, who additionally confirmed to followers that she and Joey were still an item, disclosed that she had taken a break from social media to mourn the unexpected passing of someone dear to her heart.

She shared with TopMob News that a friend of hers had sadly passed away. The news came as a surprise, as they had met just a week prior.

Kelsey went on to share how the loss changed her perspective.

In moments such as these, it becomes strikingly clear just how valuable life truly is. It’s also a time when I feel compelled to express my affection for those close to me.

After making an appearance on the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor” and leaving Gerry Turner’s season prematurely, Joan Vassos took over as the rose distributor during the premiere season of “The Golden Bachelorette”. It was during this show that she encountered and became engaged to contestant Chock Chapple.

Joan expressed her optimism about love in a heartfelt speech on the November 2024 finale of “The Golden Bachelorette”, stating, “Life may have thrown challenges our way, but we are living proof that hope exists, even at our age.” Chock then proposed to her in the romantic setting of Bora Bora. “I’ve waited for this moment in this breathtaking location,” he said, “to express my love and desire to spend the rest of my life with you. I look forward to waking up next to you each morning and kissing you goodnight every night.

In the season finale of “The Bachelorette” (season 21), it seemed like former “Bachelor” contestant Jenn Tran was finding her perfect match in Devin Strader. However, during a post-finale special in September called “After the Final Rose“, Jenn, aged 26, disclosed that Devin, aged 28, turned cold towards her once the cameras stopped rolling.

 

During the September 3rd show, Jenn explained to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with had been expressing strong declarations of affection one moment, and then the next day appeared as though they meant nothing. He even denied ever having loved her. She said, “All the pledges he had made to me, all the love he claimed he wanted to share with me, seemed to vanish overnight.

 

The events became more intense as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, detailing his version of the situation. In this video, not only did he acknowledge responsibility but also revealed reasons behind his decision to end the relationship during a 15-minute conversation over the phone.

 

Instead of Jenn accusing him of ending their relationship over the phone in August, he asserted that she pressed for an explanation because he was trying to figure out how to tell her in person that things weren’t working out between them.

 

He said, “I wasn’t sure what other option I had,” explaining that he had been holding back, wanting to discuss it face-to-face. “Her actions essentially compelled me to act.

 

After that, Jenn gracefully moved towards “Dancing With the Stars” and could’ve found herself drawn to her partner Sasha Farber, given that they’ve been fueling dating speculation ever since their elimination on October 29th.

In November 2022, Greg Grippo (a former suitor of Katie Thurston on The Bachelorette the previous year) appeared alongside Victoria Fuller in the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise. During their time there, they disclosed that they were in a relationship. However, by April 2024, he confirmed that they had ended their relationship.

Initially, Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo were engaged, but prior to them making their relationship official during the finale of Bachelor in Paradise‘s eighth season, they had already broken off their engagement.

As an over-the-moon fan, I couldn’t help but jump for joy when Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their engagement during the thrilling finale of the first season of Golden Bachelor, back in November 2023! The anticipation was palpable as we all waited for their fairytale wedding, which took place in a spectacular televised ceremony in January 2024. It’s a moment I’ll cherish forever!

However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up.

During their interview on Good Morning America with Theresa in April 2024, Gerry stated, “Theresa and I have shared many personal talks and we’ve carefully examined our circumstances, particularly our living arrangements. As a result of these discussions, we’ve jointly decided that it seems appropriate for us to end our marriage.

They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by TopMob News.

Status: Set to Wed

After dating 32 potential partners, tennis professional Joey Graziadei finally found his ideal partner in project manager Kelsey Anderson. “I can’t wait a second longer to tell you that I love you,” Joey expressed to his chosen one during the finale of his season in March 2024. “There is something special about you. You have this contagious enthusiasm that makes me happy. It’s a sensation I’ve never experienced before.”

Envisioning their eternal togetherness with the Louisiana native, he added, “For some time now, I’ve known I wanted a wonderful life, but I didn’t truly realize how wonderful that life could be until I met you.

Status: Separated

Though underwater welder John Henry Spurlock (one of Charity Lawson’s suitors) and nurse Kat Izzo (who competed for Zach Shallcross’ heart) didn’t initially connect until halfway through season nine of “Bachelor in Paradise”, they were ready to take a risk. “I’m going to attempt something a bit unusual,” he said, presenting an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. “Today, I’m following my heart. My heart tells me that you are fantastic, you are everything I’ve been searching for.”

However, a few days after the finale aired, the couple shared that they no longer saw a future together. “Despite our career goals not matching up, we are thankful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post.

In the finale, despite her initial apprehensions about accepting a proposal from Aaron Bryant, Eliza Isichei (formerly linked to Clayton Echard), resplendent in white, graciously said yes. Touched by Aaron’s thoughtful gesture of seeking her mother’s approval, she expressed, “I could not predict what words would come out.”

The post-finale epilogue hinted at some difficulties Eliza and her ex encountered following their Mexico trip, and a few days later, they formally announced their split. On Instagram in December 2023, Charity shared his feelings about the situation: “Navigating these complex emotions as I watch everything unfold.” He continued, “We are parting ways amicably, maintaining only positivity and mutual respect for each other.

Originally, postpartum nurse Kylee Russell was disheartened by boyfriend Aven Jones’ reluctance to propose – an action he reportedly intended to perform during his courtship of Bachelorette Rachel Recchia. However, she eventually agreed to Aven’s Paradise proposal, stating, “Let’s get out of here and make it work.”

This decision meant that her chosen engagement dress remained untouched. She explained, “I had to do what I felt was right. Love involves taking risks.”

Two days after their finale aired in December 2023, she revealed on Instagram Stories that their relationship had ended due to multiple infidelities. Later, Aven issued an apology to Kylee, admitting, “I have made significant errors in our relationship and caused pain to someone very dear to me.

In an interview with TopMob News, Charity Lawson playfully expressed her satisfaction with the current season. However, her August 2023 finale was far from adequately described by her words. Integrative medicine specialist Dotun Olubeko got down on one knee and declared their love to be “perfect,” proposing to the child and family therapist. He asked, “Will you accept this fairytale and make it a reality?”

The couple’s wedding date is yet to be finalized, but they are contemplating either 2025 or 2026. Before that, Charity will grace the dance floor on Dancing With the Stars. On The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose, Dotun excitedly told Charity, “You like to have fun, you love to dance, and we’ve talked about this—about how fantastic this opportunity would be. And I am thrilled to share with you that you will be a contestant on Dancing With the Stars! Let’s do this!

Zach will have his fairytale conclusion. Despite some hiccups during the Fantasy Suite, Zach Shallcross concluded season 27 in March 2023 on bended knee. “I am deeply in love with you,” he expressed to travel nurse Kaity Biggar. “You are my universe. The affection I have for you surpasses anything I could ever imagine.”

By July 2023, this Texas pair took a significant stride forward, with Kaity posting on Instagram, “Now official housemates.” They’re now busy planning their October 2025 wedding vows.

The status of Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby, who seemed destined to be a Bachelor Nation power couple after meeting on season seven of BIP, has changed. Despite their best efforts and moving from Nashville to Ohio together, they have parted ways. In an episode of Jason Tartick’s podcast “Trading Secrets” in September 2023, Allio shared the news, expressing his disappointment and mourning the end of their relationship and the future they had envisioned together.

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the couple who vowed their love until eternity, Brandon Jones and Serene Russell, parted ways just five months after their romantic proposal on season seven of “Paradise”. A statement shared jointly on Instagram revealed their struggle to maintain their relationship in the public eye. Despite the pain and heartache they’re experiencing, they appealed for understanding and kindness, acknowledging the love that binds them even as they go separate ways.

Status: The relationship between pilot Rachel and general contractor Tino Franco faced a halt when he was seen kissing another woman during their 2022 season broadcast. On “The Viall Files”, he expressed regret, stating, “I in no way condone my actions. It was not right, it wasn’t fair to Rachel, and the guilt still haunts me daily. I am ashamed of what I did and if I could do it over a million times, I would certainly choose differently.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way:

In the whirlwind of 2022, I found myself in an unexpected turn of events. Initially, I turned down the proposal from Bachelor Clayton Echard during the finale. However, off-camera, we reconnected, only to part ways six months later. But fear not, my dear readers, this separation was necessitated by the right circumstances.

The people in my inner circle could see that my usual radiance had faded, and I wasn’t flourishing as I should have been. In a heartfelt blog post for “Susie Was Like,” I penned down, “My sparkle had dimmed, and I was far from thriving.” We shared many joyous moments, but deep within, I was grappling with my feelings of unease and misalignment with the best version of myself.

After dating Justin Glaze, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later revealed that their relationship had ended as well, with the news coming in August 2024.

The current status is: Split

Minnesota elementary school teacher Michelle received a Neil Lane sparkler from Texas-based sales executive Nayte Olukoya, along with a $200,000 check for their future home, but the couple didn’t have a strong enough bond. They announced their breakup six months after their season finale aired in December 2021.

In an interview on The Viall Files, Nayte admitted that there were many ups and downs, numerous arguments, and fights, and they just didn’t seem to understand each other. He also acknowledged that not having the final split conversation in person was “a dick move.”

Later in 2023, Michelle started dating Jack Leius, and they announced their engagement the following year.

The duo from BIP Season 7, Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian, shared a vision of peaceful Sunday mornings that resonated with viewers. However, their time together was limited, as they only spent a few weekends together. In a joint statement issued in January 2022, their coordinator, Maurissa (who dated Peter Weber), and attorney Riley (one of Tayshia Adams’ suitors) explained that they have chosen to part ways. They never anticipated this situation, but they have reached a point where they both need to focus on personal growth.

Status: Split

The initial same-sex pair from Bachelor Nation became engaged during the sixth season of “Bachelor in Paradise”, however, they revealed their separation in October of 2019, which happened to be Halloween.

In simpler terms, they shared that love and concern for each other has always been central to their relationship. Their main focus has been making decisions that benefit them as a couple. With deep affection for one another, they’ve chosen to step back from the relationship. They desire what’s best for each other in the long term, and at this moment, that means growing separately.

Current Status: Engaged

In other words: Despite parting ways during ‘The Bachelorette’s seventh season in Mexico, Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer discovered an everlasting connection. Initially residing in San Diego, the travel nurse (who vied for Tayshia’s affection) and the financial manager (graced with Matt James’ first impression rose) recently acquired a home in Tulsa, Noah’s hometown.

Abigail penned on Instagram in July 2023: “Preparing to enter our Chip and Joanna Gaines era because your girl bought her very first house!!!” She continued, “Thrilled for the new chapter ahead and all the memories we’ll make here!!” Their next step? Some wedding planning. Prior to their relocation, Noah proposed at a San Diego beachfront home in August 2023.

In a prelude to their grand wedding in September 2023, Serena Pitt (a finalist on Matt James’ season) and Joe Amabile (the Chicago grocery store owner who gained fame after being sent home night one by Becca Kufrin in 2018) decided to take the plunge a little early. They exchanged vows at City Hall, which is close to their New York City residence, approximately one year after leaving Paradise engaged. Serena, now co-hosting the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast with her husband, captioned an October 2022 video, “JUST MARRIED!! We’re still having a wedding in September, but who wouldn’t want to get married twice?

Kenny Braasch, a boy band manager, declared his deep affection for Mari Pepin as he placed a Neil Lane diamond ring on her finger during the finale of Paradise in 2021. “I am completely smitten by you,” he expressed. “I can’t imagine my life without you.” In response, the Maryland beauty queen, who had previously caught Bachelor Matt’s eye, relocated to Kenny’s hometown of Chicago and began planning their lifelong future together. Before their wedding, a 65-guest oceanfront ceremony in Puerto Rico in November 2023, they made their love eternal by getting matching tattoos during a trip to the Bahamas in May 2023.

Status: Married

Previously on Bachelor in Paradise season seven, Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs, one of Katie Thurston’s suitors, began their relationship in 2021. They parted ways during the show, but rekindled their bond after filming ended. In May 2022, they announced their engagement, with Becca taking the lead in propossing. As she shared with TopMob News, she hoped others would feel inspired to break traditional norms. Thomas reciprocated this gesture in October of the same year. The couple then welcomed their first child, son Benson, in September 2023. Becca expressed her feelings on Instagram: “There are no words to express the love and awe we have for our little man.”

Just weeks after the arrival of Benson, the duo decided to tie the knot in a sudden October 13 ceremony.

In the season finale of ‘The Bachelorette’ in 2021, Katie became engaged to Blake Moynes. Their love was first publicly declared during an overnight date that included a paintball adventure, a cowboy bath, and a heart-to-heart chat under the night sky.

Bending down on a knee, Blake expressed to Katie, “You’re worthy of everything the world has to offer, and I can’t wait to stand by your side and assist you daily from now on.

Three months following the airing of their proposal, the pair publicly declared their separation. In a joint statement, they expressed, “We are deeply appreciative for the precious moments we spent together and the incredible journey we experienced this year. However, we have come to realize that we are not suited as life partners, and it is the kindest decision for us both to move on separately.”

Now she is set to wed comedian Jeff Arcuri.

Current Status: In a Relationship
In the time since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell parted ways during his 2021 season (following a brief separation and subsequent reconciliation), they have faced numerous breakup speculations. However, they are still very much in love.

“I believe everyone should take a break from social media,” he shared exclusively with TopMob News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. “Our lives are often spent in front of our phones, so when anyone takes a break from being online 24/7, people think it’s the end of the world.”

Marriage remains their ultimate goal. As the author of First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness stated in a 2022 interview with TopMob News, “The positive aspect of our relationship is that we move at our own pace. And you’ve seen with other couples – they rush the engagement and they’re no longer together. So, I think what we have is a successful formula, and we’ll get there.

Following my incredible journey stepping into Clare Crawley’s 2020 season of The Bachelorette, I found myself swept off my feet by the remarkable Zac Clark. Although we left the show with an engagement, as a dedicated fan turned co-host, I later shared that our relationship wasn’t without its twists and turns along the way.

In a fresh relationship, it can be challenging to leave for a couple of weeks, right? And let me assure you, the sentiment I’m expressing is sincere and genuine,” she expressed on The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021.

Later on, she said, “It seemed as if we needed to recall why we were together, and indeed, that’s quite common.” However, it was reported by TopMob News in November 2021 that they had parted ways.

During season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” Clare became deeply smitten with Dale Moss. So much so that by the fourth episode, they were engaged. However, the twists didn’t end there. Weeks after Tayshia took over as the Bachelorette and got her own engagement, Dale announced on social media that his relationship with the hairstylist had ended.

Approximately a month after they were seen together, speculations about reconciliation swirled around the pair. By July 2021, following multiple get-togethers, Clare and Dale had officially reconciled, complete with a ring. However, in September of the same year, they ended their relationship once more. Now, Clare is blissfully married to Ryan Dawkins, and they are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child together.

Following a short engagement to Hannah Ann Sluss and later separation from Madison Prewett, fans anticipated that the third attempt would bring success for Peter. Unfortunately, his relationship with Kelley Flanagan, who shone on The Bachelor season 24, did not last as planned. On New Year’s Eve 2020, the pilot revealed that their nine-month romance had ended.

Pete shared on Instagram that, although our relationship was brimming with numerous cherished moments, sadly it didn’t last. However, Kelley will forever hold a unique place in my heart.

In the year of 2022, I made another attempt at soaring, but come May, I shared the news that my romantic journey had reached its last stop.

Or, in a more conversational tone:

I gave flying another shot in 2022, but by May, I admitted that my love story had reached its final station.

Status: Split

After the intense 2020 conclusion, the pair shared on Instagram that they were no longer intending to continue their romantic involvement. Peter posted, “Madi and I have come to a mutual agreement not to advance our relationship any further. This wasn’t an easy decision for either of us, but after deep conversations, we have decided this is what works best for us. The affection and regard I hold for Madi will persist.

In her statement, Madi expressed, “I’ll always hold affection and admiration for him. I firmly believe that our lives were destined to intersect, making us both grow in the process.

Status: Split

During season 24 of ‘The Bachelor’, Peter and Hannah Ann were engaged for a short while. However, in the second part of the finale, it became clear that they faced difficulties just a month into their committed relationship. More specifically, Hannah Ann was taken aback by Peter’s ongoing feelings towards Madison, leaving her feeling blindsided.

She said, “All along, I just wanted someone to offer their entire affection as I was doing mine. And you ended our first engagement,” she lamented, returning the ring. “You took that from me. ‘Cause I relied on you, and that’s what you kept asking me to do – ‘Have faith in me. Be patient with me.’

After venturing through the #vanlife phase, I’ve found my permanent companion. Though Dean Unglert and I parted ways during season six of Paradise back in 2019, our connection has been unstoppable ever since.

Fast forward to 2022, we took the leap and got engaged! In a picturesque camp-themed wedding in the Colorado mountains on September 23rd, I exchanged vows with my co-host from ‘Help! We Suck at Being Newlyweds’. As the big day approached, I couldn’t help but share my excitement with TopMob News: “I am just so in love with him,” I gushed. “I’m thrilled to be marrying someone who is such an incredible human being, who brings laughter into every single day – even on the tough ones. I truly believe our life together will be filled with endless fun.
