As we excitedly tuned in to follow the charming heartthrob Joey Graziadei's quest for true love unfold every week on Season 28 of The Bachelor, some of us just couldn't resist the urge to skip the suspense. We were on a mission to uncover every juicy spoiler and spill the piping-hot tea on how this love story reached its grand finale before the finale even aired on March 25.
Luckily, now we know who Joey picks, and how his love story on the show came to an end. But in case you need more details on who Joey ends up with on The Bachelor, read on for all of the details, including info on who his bride-to-be is outside of reality television.
Who does Joey Graziadei pick on 'The Bachelor'?
Ahead of the finale, Reality Steve reported that Joey picks Daisy Kent! However (and that's a big however), he shared on Feb. 27, 2024, that he was wrong. Yes, we know, insert shocked Pikachu meme here. And now we can confirm the latter to be incredibly accurate.
In the end, Joey picks Kelsey Anderson. And, although Daisy was a fan favorite leading up to the dramatic Bachelor finale, Kelsey makes sense for Joey. You can't deny the edit they got as a couple in the final episodes of the season, even if Daisy is basically Bachelor Nation's sweetheart.
Daisy was offered the consolation prize of being named the 2024 Bachelorette lead after she went home as Joey's runner-up on The Bachelor. But in the end, she was ready for her Bachelor franchise journey to end, and that includes being the lead on her own show.
"Right now, I know it’s a time for me to focus on the things I love and the people I love," Daisy shared on After the Final Rose. "And so right now, no, I’m not ready [for The Bachelorette]. And that’s OK. And I’m really proud of myself for realizing that."
We love a self-aware queen.
Who is Kelsey A. from Season 28 of 'The Bachelor'?
Although Kelsey A. wasn't the first impression rose recipient, and she didn't snag the first kiss of the season, it didn't take long for her to grow closer to Joey. So much so that she opened up about the loss of her mom to cancer and her relationship with her dad now. She lives in New Orleans and she's a project manager for a living, but something tells us she would have no problem giving that up to start a new life with Joey.
Which, we now know, is something she and Joey have to figure out as they enjoy being openly engaged. Who knows — maybe we'll get a televised wedding special from these two at some point.
