Bachelor Nation fans saw Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson find love and get engaged on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”
The two have been enjoying their lives together and traveling the world since their time on the show.
And now, the fan-favorite couple has taken to social media to celebrate their two-year anniversary since their engagement in Tulum, Mexico.
Joey shared sweet sentiments for his fiancée while reflecting on the past couple of years they’ve shared together.
Alongside a series of photos, he wrote, “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY BEAUTIFUL LOVE Another day to reflect on how lucky I am. You truly are my favorite part of the day.”
Joey went on, expressing, “Everything about you is gravitating. Your smile, your humor, your drive, your love. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by where I don’t feel like the luckiest guy on the planet! It’s crazy that it’s been two years since I got down on one knee. I cannot wait to see what’s in store for us in the future and for you to be the most beautiful bride. Here’s to forever babe❤️.”
Kelsey shared similar sentiments in her post on Instagram, expressing her love for Joey.
Next to photos from their time on “The Bachelor” and adventures together, she wrote, “2 years❤️ Thank you for always listening to my wild ideas, my unhinged thoughts, and cheering on my terrible dance moves. I’d choose you every single day, in every lifetime. I can’t wait for a million more years together (once we find that fountain of youth!)”
Kelsey continued, teasing, “Who knew all I had to do was go on a TV show and battle 31 women to find you? I’d do it all over again for you I love you the most Joey ❤️,” to which Joey replied, “No I love you the most, Happy Anniversary babe ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
“Dancing with the Stars” pros Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert Hough, are getting ready to become first-time parents — and they marked the special moment with an intimate, star-studded baby shower in Los Angeles.
Held on Nov. 13 at Cosette Wine Bar + Bottleshop, the expecting couple celebrated their baby on the way surrounded by family, friends, and several familiar faces from the DWTS family. According to People, the event was organized by Derek’s sister, Julianne Hough, along with friends Britt Stewart and Jessica Gee, and event planner Troy Williams of Simply Troy. Julianne described the celebration as “ethereal” and “dreamy,” honoring the couple’s next chapter.
“Hayley and Derek are such a beautiful match,” Julianne told People. “They are the perfect combination of creativity and strength, and they give so much love to each other and the people in their lives.”
Among the guests were DWTS alums Sasha Farber, Mark Ballas and his wife BC Jean, Daniel Durant, and Angela Ribeiro. Hayley, 31, glowed in a bright yellow Tularosa dress with her hair styled in loose curls by Jill Buck and natural makeup by Afton Williams. Guests participated in creative activities, including a baby succulent garden, kitten playtime with rescues from Kitten Rescue LA, and personalized diaper notes.
Julianne also presented the couple with a keepsake edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales filled with handwritten notes and illustrations. “Having Derek, Hayley, and this new little angel living here in L.A. will be so amazing,” Julianne added. “I couldn’t be more excited to spoil the baby rotten.”
The couple, who tied the knot in August 2023, are getting ready to welcome their first child this winter. In a recent Instagram video, Derek showed off their baby’s nursery-in-progress, revealing a cozy crib setup. Hayley commented, “The one and only thing we have in the nursery so far. But we’re slowlyyyy making progress .”
Derek, 40, and Hayley first announced their pregnancy in July with a sweet video of them embracing against a scenic view, captioned, “We can’t believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small ♥️.” The couple, who dated for eight years before marrying, has continued to share glimpses of their journey while maintaining an element of surprise — especially when it comes to their baby’s gender.
While the pair hasn’t confirmed their baby’s sex, fans believe Derek may have accidentally revealed it — twice. During the Oct. 14 “Dedication Night” episode of “Dancing with the Stars”, the judge nearly said “daughter” while reflecting on a contestant’s father-daughter dance before quickly correcting himself. “Watching you two dance really made me excited to have my own moment with my— with my own child,” he said, sparking immediate speculation.
Weeks later, Derek posted a rehearsal clip of him and Hayley dancing, where many fans claimed they heard him say, “That’s my girls. That’s my baby.” The comment reignited theories that the couple is expecting a girl. “Twice he’s now slipped, so definitely a baby girl,” one fan commented.
Despite the speculation, the couple has kept details under wraps and continues to enjoy this season of anticipation. Their baby is expected to arrive in December and judging by the excitement surrounding their shower, they’re already surrounded by love and support.
