The Bachelor’s Kelsey Anderson Shares Update on Her and Joey Graziadei’s Roommate Situation

Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei are definitely living in paradise now.

Three months after the couple, who got engaged on season 28 of The Bachelor, revealed they were living with her two roommates, Kelsey gave insight into their current living arrangement and revealed how they unexpectedly ended up in their New Girl scenario.

"Household update—We actually are currently living in L.A., just Joey and I," she told E! News in an exclusive interview at the launch of Raising Cane's Varsity and Western Ballad clothing collections in New York City Sept. 10. "Going on this show, I didn't expect to be engaged. There were 32 women, so the odds weren't very likely."

Even after getting the final rose, as Kelsey explained, "I had a lease. I was living and working in New Orleans, so Joey just came to me."

So it just made sense financially for them to stay with her roommates until her lease was up.

"I was like, 'I don't want to pay two rents,'" the 26-year-old continued. "That's why we ended up living with them. But it was only for a short period, and now we're in L.A. and Joey's doing Dancing with the Stars."

But while Kelsey and Joey, 29, didn't remain in New Orleans with her roommates for long, she was surprised by some of the reactions she saw online. "People were so upset about the fact that we were living together," she recalled. "I was like, 'You don't have to live with a roommate. Don't worry about it!'"

And she previously emphasized that she and Joey weren't taking up too much space in the apartment as they were rarely home after winning the ABC reality dating series.

"It's like that's our base. It's like our closet right now because we've been traveling so much. Like, that's just, like, where our clothes are," she shared when she and Joey appeared on the Trading Secrets podcast in June. "We unpack and repack to go to the next place right now."

It was an easy decision for Joey to adapt and move in with Kelsey for a while before the couple found their own place, especially since he had recently relocated from Hawaii and was living with his sister in Philadelphia before his stint as the Bachelor.  

"It would have been wrong of me to be like, 'We need to get you out of your life,'" he noted, "because she dropped her whole life to be a part of this. And I knew that regardless of what was going to happen, my life was going to have to change and go somewhere else."
