In recent months, questions have arisen concerning the status of Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei’s relationship. Kelsey recently had an encounter with one of Joey’s former flames from *The Bachelor*. The couple initially met and fell in love during the 28th season of *The Bachelor*, which concluded with their engagement. Despite other couples from the Bachelor franchise facing turmoil—such as Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s divorce from *The Golden Bachelor* and the broken engagement of Jenn Tran and Devin Strader from *The Bachelorette*—Kelsey and Joey seem to be thriving, even amidst ongoing speculation about their relationship.
Recent Instagram interactions suggest that Kelsey Anderson and Maria Georgas have developed a friendship. Kelsey recently uploaded a series of photos to Instagram, showcasing moments spent with various Bachelor Nation alums, including Maria Georgas, who competed against Kelsey for Joey’s affections during the show. One particular image featured Kelsey and Maria in a car, arms affectionately wrapped around each other as they posed for the camera. Kelsey captioned the image with “Beep beep,” accompanied by a taxi emoji. Joey, Kelsey’s fiancé, reacted by leaving a hot face emoji in the comments, while Maria chimed in with the compliment, “She’s beauty she’s grace.”

The image of Kelsey and Maria together elicited a variety of reactions from fans in the comments section of Kelsey’s Instagram post. While many supporters celebrated the duo as iconic and fierce, there were others who expressed concerns about Kelsey trusting Maria. One user, @Myfavoritethings222, voiced their apprehension, saying they “don’t want to start seeing Maria at all!! Please don’t resurface her!!!” Another user, @Jenspencer23, described the picture as a “wasted photo bomb,” punctuating their comment with several face vomiting emojis.
Some critics may be wary of Maria due to her recent controversial appearances in the news. During the finale of *The Bachelorette* season 21, where Jenn and Devin addressed their breakup following their engagement, Maria’s name came up because Devin began following her on social media amidst their separation. Maria clarified that she does not follow Devin and has no intention of associating with him after his treatment of Jenn. Consequently, Maria has faced backlash for becoming entangled in the drama.
Kelsey and Joey are striving to avoid becoming embroiled in scandals and controversies. However, drama is never far removed from *The Bachelor* universe. The situation with Maria isn’t the only issue brewing. Promotional images for *Dancing With The Stars* season 33 depicted Joey with his dance partner, Jenna Johnson, who faced criticism for appearing too friendly with Joey in the photos, despite them being standard for the show. Hopefully, Kelsey and Joey can steer clear of further controversies as they continue to enjoy their lives together.
