The Bachelor: Signs Joey Graziadei's Too Immature For Marriage To Kelsey Anderson (His Money Issues, DWTS Demand & Living Situation Are Concerning)

Star and leading man of The Bachelor, Joey Graziadei, has encountered major backlash following his stint on the show. The Pennsylvania native made for an exciting season as his fun-loving and charismatic nature left the 32 contenders swooning. Although he and runner-up Daisy Kent seemed compatible, she seemingly recognized his love for Kelsey Anderson and self-eliminated. Joey ultimately proposed to Kelsey in his season’s finale.

The couple’s romance, originating from The Bachelor season 28, has been criticized heavily following their time on the show. While the pair are engaged, their wedding has been postponed due to Joey’s involvement in Dancing With The Stars. With the couple seemingly encountering hurdles with their finances, living arrangements, publicity, and dancing partnership, many believe Joey may not be ready to commit at this time in his life.

Joey revealed his credit took a big hit during filming. Since Joey didn't properly handle his credit payments before essentially dropping offline, his credit saw a dip of 80 points. This credit card mistake has raised red flags concerning, not only his financial stability but his capability of handling responsibility. Meanwhile, Kelsey has been tirelessly working as a project manager for Landmark Consulting LLC and engaging in new career opportunities - such as Kelsey's new modeling gig for New York Fashion Week. Joey may not be as financially independent and dependable as his career-oriented fiancé.

Joey Made A Strange Demand On Dancing With The Stars

Joey Was Very Particular About His Partner

Joey, like many Bachelor alums, was featured on DWTS after his season’s finale. However, he did not make the transition easy for producers. Joey insisted he would be paired with a dancing partner “in a successful and healthy relationship.” The show obliged, assigning him to Jenna Johnson, a veteran dancer who has been married to her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, for five years. Jenna was vocally disappointed by this decision as she hoped to be partnered with former NFL player Danny Amendola. She eventually warmed up to the pairing as the two had grown very close.

Joey has claimed the DWTS demand was to avoid public scrutiny and possible jealousy from Kelsey. However, one could argue Joey should have been capable of handling a single partner without attracting criticism. Rumors concerning the pair’s companionship and physical comfortability with one another have been widely spread regardless of Joey’s demand. His insistence on a less risky partner has rubbed some viewers the wrong way, as some wonder if Joey was not mature enough to prove the critics wrong with his actions.

Joey & Kelsey's Living Situation Is A Problem

The Couple Can't Find Their Roots

Kelsey and Joey have struggled to decide on their living arrangements. Immediately after filming the show, Joey followed Kelsey to her shared home in Louisiana. Having little space and no idea where to relocate, the stars have since moved to Los Angeles as Joey participates in DTWS. With the wedding postponed, stress from the competition, and pressure to find their roots, it seems as though Joey and Kelsey might not be prepared for the (ideally) life-long commitment of marriage.

Joey, having known he was participating in a dating competition with the goal of marrying his winner, should have considered these factors. He seems to be ill-prepared for his future with Kelsey. While the pair are undoubtedly in love, one can only hope Kelsey is willing to handle their major life decisions.

Joey’s stint on The Bachelor has proven that the star is as spirited as he is charismatic. However, there have been several indications that the reality star isn't equipped to handle his marriage to Kelsey. Only time will tell if Joey can provide and care for his other half.
