Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor has been dubbed the "most romantic" in franchise history, and his love story with Kelsey Anderson certainly earns that top honor. The couple, who got engaged during the March 25 finale, shared that they plan to spend some time in Kelsey's hometown of New Orleans before moving to New York this summer.
Of course, in the process of spending all that time together, even the strongest couple is bound to find a problem or two (a.k.a., niggles in modern dating terms). In a recent interview with People magazine, Joey and Kelsey opened up about the topic.
Joey and Kelsey's dinner date
Kelsey took it upon herself to express her dissatisfaction with Joey, but it was no secret to her new fiancé. "I think I've said this before, but maybe he was eating spaghetti," she said.
Joey seemed to have a good idea of where the disease came from. "Yeah, obviously we were dating, but I wasn't doing it right," he said, adding that the dish was to blame. "Like, it's all coming together, and it doesn't look good to me."
He didn't have much to say to Kelsey, though. "There's nothing 'gross' about her in my eyes," he said. "She's perfect. I'll hold on to that. She can make pasta, but she's perfect in my eyes."

Luckily, the awkward meal moment didn’t seal the deal for Kelsey. The morning after their bachelor fantasy suite, she and Joey spent an adorable moment making breakfast together—even though he had some trouble cracking the eggs into the pan.
"Oh no, that's terrible! That's really bad," he said as the eggs (and some eggshells) headed toward the stove, causing Kelsey to double over with laughter. Of course, no egg mishap could stop viewers from correctly speculating that Kelsey would get Joey's final rose.
After the season aired, Joey and Kelsey had a more successful kitchen session in a recent TikTok where he described the Tulum incident as "EggGate."
"This egg is set up to make me look like I don't know what I'm doing," he said as he cooked on the stove again, trying to appease the "haters."
The couple will have more kitchen time together as they are about to move into what Kelsey described to People as a "tiny, cramped apartment" in New York.
They recently told Bustle that the move was Kelsey's idea. "She mentioned it on the show and said, 'I just feel like I need to own this part of my life,'" Joey explained, adding that he was "glad" to support her decision.
"Yeah, like I might hate it, but I need to experience it," she said.
