The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson moved to Los Angeles right before the recent wildfires, but did their new home survive the flames? Joey, a 28-year-old tennis pro from Hawaii, made his television debut during The Bachelorette season 20. He made it to the final two, and he was deeply in love with Charity Lawson, but she gave her final rose to Dotun Olubeko. Joey was devastated by the rejection, but he wasn’t down for long, because he was soon cast as The Bachelor.
Joey met 25-year-old Kelsey on the first night of The Bachelor season 28. She was one of 32 single women who traveled to the iconic Bachelor mansion to compete for Joey’s roses. Kelsey caught Joey’s eye right away, and they spent the season falling deeply in love. By the time the final rose ceremony arrived, it wasn’t much of a surprise when Joey proposed to Kelsey, and she said yes. After living in New Orleans for a while, Joey and Kelsey moved to Los Angeles right before the recent wildfires. Read on to learn if their home survived the flames.

Terrible Timing
After leaving The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey wanted to live together right away. After finally finding each other, they never wanted to be separated again. They moved in to Kelsey’s old place, which she shared with multiple roommates. It was an unusual situation, but, since they were traveling so much, it worked out for them on a temporary basis. At the time, they were working to build careers as public figures, but their financial circumstances weren’t great, and they were living on credit cards.
