Here comes the bride Dancing With the Stars cast.
Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei, who found love on The Bachelor, are planning their wedding for Spring 2027. They’re hoping Dancing with the Stars pros Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy – who were also on Joey’s season of the show – will choreograph their first dance as a married couple.
During a recent interview with Erin Lim Rhodes at Spotify’s Best New Artists Party on January 29th, Kelsey expressed a playful hope that someone would teach her how to dance.
She also mentioned that her fiancé, Joey—whom she met on season 24 of The Bachelor—has been playfully trying to teach her some dance moves at home, inspired by his time on Dancing With the Stars.
She explained that he occasionally forgets dance steps. He often tries to show her small moves, and they’ll even have impromptu dance breaks while cleaning. But he’ll get frustrated trying to remember the correct steps, saying things like, ‘Wait, no, that’s not right… what is it?’
She explained that he’s been teaching her how to be a follower, which is something she’s still learning. She naturally tends to take charge, often instinctively directing things, but he’s helped her understand the importance of letting him lead instead.
Kelsey is busy with dance rehearsals, but she’s also planning the entertainment for her wedding. She’s hoping to book Olivia Dean, a rising star nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, to perform.
She planned to ask the singer for a hangout if she could get close to her at the Spotify event. She imagined saying something like, ‘Olivia, please consider this! It would be really fun, even if you don’t know me yet.’
Despite the busy schedule, Kelsey says wedding planning with Joey is going well. They’re planning to have both a live band and a DJ for the reception.
She explained that wedding planning feels like it has plenty of time at the beginning, but quickly becomes overwhelming. Once you start making bookings, a long to-do list appears, which can be a bit stressful.
Kelsey feels lucky to have Joey’s support, saying, “He’s been a huge help, and it’s made everything so much better.”

Before The Golden Bachelor even started airing, Mel Owen faced criticism for comments he made on the MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen. He stated he wouldn’t consider women over 60 and preferred they didn’t have artificial hips or wigs.
Although his longtime partner, Peg Munson, is also in her sixties, their relationship is full of energy and excitement. The former NFL player described her to Glamour as being incredibly “high-energy.”

Spencer Conley, who made a good impression on Jenn Tran with his friendly personality during The Bachelorette, found a connection on season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise. In August 2025, he shared a post with Jess Edwards (who previously tried to win over Joey Graziadei on The Bachelor) hinting they were falling for each other – a common way on the show of saying they aren’t ready to say “I love you” just yet. He jokingly declared on Instagram that he’d “already won.”
Jess echoed the sentiment, posting on social media, “Just really happy about this guy and everything!”
They were overjoyed! After deciding to prioritize their relationship over the $250,000 prize, they got engaged and were then surprised with a check for $190,000.
“Everything that we’ve been through,” Jess said, “has led us to this exact moment.”
Jess shared during the November 2025 After the Finale Rose special that she’ll be moving to Dallas in a few weeks, following her new relationship.

Okay, so I totally lost it when Bailey Taylor Brown posted that she had the best first date ever with Jeremy Simon! August 2025, right after she took him out on season 10 of Paradise – it was everything! But then I started panicking, wondering if it was also their last? Seriously, Bailey went from trying to win Grant Ellis over, and Jeremy almost stole Jenn’s heart on The Bachelorette… they’ve been through so much drama. And now this? Apparently, things got really intense when Bailey found out Jeremy had second thoughts about letting Susie Evans go. It was their biggest fight ever, and I was on the edge of my seat!
Their romance continued to blossom while they were in Costa Rica. Even though they didn’t make it to the end of Bachelor in Paradise, they decided to keep dating after the show finished filming. They’ve already met each other’s families and are making plans to live in the same city together.

I’ve been following Andrew Spencer and Alexe Godin’s connection since Paradise, and it’s seriously adorable! It looks like things are still going really well between them. Just six days after Andrew publicly called Alexe his ‘mon amour’ on Instagram, she returned the sweet sentiment, calling him ‘mon chéri’! It’s so cute to see them still so into each other after the show.
Even though they picked love instead of the $250,000 prize on the Bachelor in Paradise finale, they still received $125,000 as a parting gift.
“This is incredible,” Alexe said. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, I’m leaving with love.”
The show will follow Alexe and Andrew as they start a new chapter together in Chicago, where they’re relocating to build a life together.

She asked if they were still together before this happened. He replied that they were, explaining he hadn’t expected to meet anyone else.
Even though Kat and Dale didn’t make it to the final test on Paradise, they continued dating.

During the finale of The Bachelorette season 21, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on The Bachelor, had found love with Devin Strader. However, Jenn later revealed in a September 2024 After the Final Rose interview that Devin distanced himself from her immediately after filming ended.
Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if it never happened and denied having any feelings at all. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed were suddenly gone.
Okay, so Devin finally posted a video – a whole 13 minutes of him explaining everything on Instagram! It was like, a total deep dive. He said he was taking responsibility, which is good, but then he went into all the details about their breakup call – apparently it lasted 15 minutes! I’ve been rewatching it a million times, trying to piece everything together. Honestly, it was a lot to process, but I needed to hear his side, you know?
Jenn said he ended their relationship over the phone in August, but he countered that she pressed him for answers when he was attempting to tell her in person.
He said he hadn’t seen another option, especially since he wanted to tell her face-to-face. Ultimately, she made him reveal it.
