Bachelor Joey Graziadei Reveals the Moment He Knew He Loved Kelsey A. and Shared His Feelings

Joey Graziadei has been careful not to reveal too much to the women remaining on The Bachelor as the season comes to an end. However, during his overnight dates, he couldn't help but confess that he was "falling in love" not once, but twice.

During their fantasy suite date on the March 11 episode, Kelsey Anderson told the 28-year-old lead "I love you." In response, Joey expressed, "I'm falling in love with you, fully." He shared that these feelings for Kelsey, who is 25 years old, have been growing for quite a while. Following the Women Tell All taping, we asked Joey to elaborate on his emotions.

Joey shared that he and Kelsey had a significant moment in Montreal. He mentioned that it was during this time that they both started expressing their feelings, even though there weren't many words exchanged. Joey admitted that he kept his emotions to himself for a while because he wanted to be thoughtful with his words.

During week 6 of the season, Joey and his contestants traveled to Montreal. This trip followed Kelsey's first one-on-one date in Marbella, Spain. In an interview with Us and other reporters, Joey mentioned that Montreal was where a producer explained the difference between a contestant "falling" for him and "falling in love with him, highlighting that there are different levels to the process.

During Monday’s episode, Joey expressed his feelings to Daisy Kent by telling her that he was starting to develop strong feelings for her.

Joey shared with Us that he found it challenging to navigate the fine line between being honest and not shutting himself off completely when deciding to admit his feelings. He explained that being open and truthful can sometimes be difficult to balance, and viewers were able to witness his struggle. He wanted to make sure that he expressed his emotions at the appropriate moment and in the best way possible.

Monday's episode of The Bachelor left viewers on the edge of their seats with a cliffhanger. Kelsey left Joey a note saying, "We need to talk," as she grappled with the idea of not being The One. Fans will have to wait until next week to find out if Kelsey, Daisy, or Rachel Nance, who did not exchange any L-bombs with Joey, are the final two contestants.

Don't forget to catch The Bachelor on ABC on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
