Joan Vassos<\/strong><\/a> showed love to The Bachelor\u2019s<\/em> Kelsey Anderson<\/strong><\/a> amid fan concern about her fianc\u00e9, Joey Graziadei<\/strong><\/a>, dancing with another woman on Dancing With the Stars<\/em>. After Kelsey posted a video shutting down her concerned followers, Joan popped into the comments section to lend some support.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t even listened [sic] to those people and let them doubt your love and question your\u2019s and Joey\u2019s commitment to each other,\u201d the Golden Bachelorette<\/em> star, 61, wrote. \u201cThis is a show and you are real life. Enjoy this crazy ride with him and only feel the joy!\u201d<\/p>\n Joey, 29, made his Dancing With the Stars<\/em> debut with dance partner Jenna Johnson<\/strong> on September 17. Kelsey, 26, said she was flooded with comments from fans that said things like, \u201cKelsey, why is Jenna touching your man like that?\u201d and \u201cKelsey\u2019s so strong, I could not do that. I could not watch that if I was Kelsey.\u201d However, she made it clear that she was not concerned.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know \u2026 maybe because it\u2019s her job?\u201d she said in a video posted to Instagram<\/a>. \u201cMaybe because she\u2019s a professional dancer and she has to touch him to dance? I don\u2019t know, that\u2019s my understanding of it.\u201d<\/p>\n She also reminded fans that she and Joey met on The Bachelor<\/em>, so she\u2019s never been insecure about him being around other women. \u201cHe was dating 31 other women while he was dating me and I won the Super Bowl ring,\u201d Kelsey pointed out. \u201cI have to have a certain level of security to go through all that. And Joey and I are still together and strong after a year of all that craziness.\u201d<\/p>\n The former New Orleans resident also praised Joey for how he\u2019s handled the situation. \u201cJoey has to also be the type of man to give me the reassurance I need and deserve in our relationship,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo we are all good in the hood. If I can survive that, I can survive watching him dance with a married woman with a cute little baby boy.\u201d Jenna, 30, is married to fellow DWTS<\/em> pro Val Chmerkovskiy<\/strong>, who is partnered with Phaedra Parks<\/strong> this season.<\/p>\n To conclude her video message, Kelsey gushed over how much Joey was \u201ccrushing it\u201d on the competition show. \u201cI am very proud of Joey,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that everyone should be. He is killing it. I don\u2019t know if you all saw those hips on Tuesday, but you\u2019ll see them again next Tuesday. Remember to vote for Joey!\u201d<\/p>\n Kelsey and Joey got engaged on season 28 of The Bachelor<\/em>, which filmed in the fall of 2023 and aired earlier this year. Meanwhile, Joan was a contestant on The Golden Bachelor<\/em> and was then selected as the lead for the Golden Bachelorette<\/em> after she had to leave the show early<\/a> for a family emergency.<\/p>\n Kelsey\u2019s dad, who is a widow, is one of the contestants on Joan\u2019s season. On the first night of filming, Kelsey showed up in one of the limos to introduce the Golden Bachelorette<\/a> to her father, so the women have gotten to know each other during their time in Bachelor Nation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
