The Bachelor season 28 couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been dealing with criticism of their relationship from Bachelor Nation, and Kelsey’s latest selfie is causing some serious panic. After meeting during The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey got to know each other in a controlled environment and learn more about what they wanted in a relationship. Though Joey had other women he was interested in on The Bachelor, his connection with Kelsey developed the strongest throughout the season. The pair got engaged during The Bachelor season 28 finale, but rumors of trouble have been swirling.

In a recent Instagram post, Kelsey shared a photo of herself in a mirror, holding her phone in one hand while she posed. Many were confused by the post, as it appeared she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring in the photo at first glance. Kelsey and Joey’s relationship has been the subject of constant speculation after there was projected to be some trouble with the couple’s finances and living arrangements, but they’ve ignored the majority of the negative chatter.

While several commenters pointed out that Kelsey’s engagement ring wasn’t visible in the photo, one Instagram user clarified things for everyone else. “It’s a mirror picture so that’s her right hand,” Bachelor Nation follower @marjorycontreraas explained in repeated replies to comments about the ring. Thankfully, it appears the trouble in Kelsey and Joey’s relationship is largely fictionalized.

Should Fans Stop Questioning The Strength Of Kelsey & Joey’s Relationship?

Many Are Looking For Signs Of Trouble

While many Bachelor Nation fans have been searching for signs of trouble surrounding Kelsey and Joey’s relationship, the couple has consistently been able to disprove any potential issues. While they’ve chosen to speak up about their relationship and clarify that the alleged issues don’t exist, the couple is likely growing tired of having to justify themselves to Bachelor Nation. With the majority of Bachelor Nation typically hoping to support Bachelor couples, the sea of negativity surrounding Joey and Kelsey has been surprising, especially considering how generous they’ve been with their time since The Bachelor season 28 finale.

While Kelsey and Joey have been doing their best to ensure that they’re a united front, the amount of time during which Bachelor Nation fans have been questioning their relationship has become overwhelming. Joey and Kelsey often share what’s happening in their lives with fans, but if their messaging keeps getting misconstrued throughout the post-season, they’ll likely shrink back from keeping viewers up to date about their lives. Instead, Bachelor Nation should trust them to maintain a happy, healthy relationship and stop speculating about their lives so often. Following the pair for fun is a healthier way to engage.

Although Joey’s relationship with Kelsey has been something he’s been excited to find for years, the couple having to deal with a fan base that consistently claims they’ll break up is likely more difficult than the Bachelor star expected. Rather than continuing to add to the negative speculation, leaving Joey and Kelsey alone as they continue to share their relationship seems like the best possible option. Regardless of the fact that The Bachelor couple is open with their fans, it doesn’t give Bachelor Nation full access to their relationship and any difficulties they experience.
