The Bachelor stars Joey Graziadei and his fiancée Kelsey Anderson have had quite a journey since their time on the reality television show. The 29-year-old TV personality led the 28th season of the show in early 2024. On June 24, the couple admitted that they've been experiencing some financial hardships since their time on the show. Joey revealed that his credit score dropped while he was filming and his fiancée had quit her job after being on the show. The couple is now living with Kelsey's friends while they take the time to get things figured out.
Joey and Kelsey appeared on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast, where he revealed that his credit score "was at 730 and I went on the show and I had a payment from a credit card that I didn’t answer for two and a half months. I dropped, like, 80 points. Like, what the [expletive]?"
"I went on a TV show and I come back and my credit score bombed," he continued explaining. "I was like, 'I can't even get into an apartment building. Jesus Christ.'"

To further his financial pressure, Joey had also offered Kelsey monetary support after she quit her job to get her new life in order. "Joey's my security blanket," the 26-year-old reality star confirmed while on the podcast.
The couple went on to detail their New Girl-style living arrangements. They are currently living with Kelsey's two friends in the house she rented before she went on The Bachelor. The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
"He was just living with his sister, so I was like, 'You can move in with me,'" Kelsey told Jason during the podcast. "I have a very big room, and my roommates were all in. They’re like, 'We can’t wait to get to know Joey,' and it’s kinda like a New Girl situation."
They're currently living in New Orleans, but the couple is planning to relocate to New York later in 2024. Kelsey also shared that she hopes to find a new job in project management.
In April, Kelsey opened up to Us Weekly that she was "nervous" that Joey would leave the toilet seat up before they moved in together. "I think what I'm most excited about is the ability to be around each other so much," she added. "We finally will be able to just do small things together."
"I wish them all the best, and happiness," one fan commented on the couple's living situation.
Another person wrote, "Still my favourite couple."
