“I had my own inner insecurities”

Open.

Bachelor Nation fans fell in love with Joey Graziadei on Season 28 of The Bachelor, where he found love with his fiancée Kelsey Anderson.

Since their time on the show, the two have been enjoying their life together and traveling the world.

Now Kelsey and Joey are talking about their relationship and life as a couple after their time on “The Bachelor.”

The couple recently appeared on The Viall Files podcast and shared how their relationship has changed since their time on the show.

Joey said: “I can look at a menu now and pick the two things that Kelsey wants to order or is thinking about ordering and I wait to see what she says, but I'm at the point where I definitely know . ”

He continued by explaining that he and Kelsey aren't doing too much in their free time these days either, as they've both been very busy after The Bachelor.

Joey shared, “We really enjoyed doing nothing for a while because at the end of our season we were traveling so much and felt like we were living a nomadic life and not having any kind of routine.” That we actually train every day Being able to sit down and eat well and go to bed at a decent time sounds lame, but I've noticed how much it's done for us. I'm really sinking into just enjoying each other's company more… We feel like a real couple, I think, is the right way to put it.”

When asked how their relationship has evolved since her time on the show and whether there was an adjustment period, Kelsey said she feels more confident now.

“I would say I feel more secure in the relationship,” she admitted. “I always felt like Joey loved me and chose me and all those things, but at the same time I think I had my own inner insecurities about that whole process.” And I think I found more security in that and more security in our relationship because it allowed me to process my own insecurities.”

Kelsey expanded on their relationship by saying, “I feel like we just feel more normal. Also, being able to get to know his aunts and uncles and him getting to know all my family and friends, I think also makes you feel a lot closer to a person. Seeing where they come from and who they surround themselves with was really nice.”

Joey also explained how his and Kelsey's communication and conflict resolution skills between each other have improved.

He said: “We've been able to learn more from each other… I think the biggest difference for us right now is that when something festers, it just doesn't last as long because I understand what she has to have. With time I understand, what I need to reframe the conversation. We just don't hold on to things as tightly as you normally would at the start of a relationship because I think we just understand each other a little bit better.”

The two were also asked what they had to learn to love about the other person, to which Joey replied that he loved Kelsey's feelings.

He said: “I love the fact that I know 100% exactly what she's feeling… because when she's 100% happy, it makes me even happier.” I love it when she's not happy with me because I doesn't have to question it. She wears it on her face, I know exactly (what she feels).”

Kelsey took a different approach and shared that she learned to accept the way he eats spaghetti.

She said with a laugh, “Whenever he eats spaghetti, he leans over so much that I just can't look at him. “I have to look away.”

We always love hearing from these two and seeing their love shine.
