Season 28 The Bachelor lead Joey Graziadei is thrilled to be reuniting with his contestant Jenn Tran as he and the latest Bachelorette compete against each other on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars. This exciting twist adds a new layer of drama to the beloved reality competition series. Both contestants have garnered significant attention from fans, making their reunion a highly anticipated event in the world of reality television.
Joey, 28, expressed his enthusiasm in an interview with Us Weekly, stating, “I’m excited. I mean, Bachelor Nation runs deep, right? They always do Dancing With the Stars, so it’s an exciting opportunity and we’re just gonna have fun with it.” His positive outlook reflects the camaraderie often seen among contestants from these popular shows.
In the same interview, Joey shared a touching moment from their recent encounter. “I saw her earlier today. Obviously, she came in last-minute, but I got to say hello and give her a hug,” he said. Their connection, despite the competitive nature of the show, highlights the friendships formed in the Bachelor franchise.
This will be the first time that DWTS has both the most recent Bachelor and Bachelorette competing against each other. Jenn’s season wrapped up on Tuesday, September 3, which saw her romantic proposal from Devin Strader end in heartbreak when he dumped her after cameras finished rolling. This adds an emotional layer to their competition, as both contestants navigate their personal histories while vying for the coveted mirrorball trophy.
While Jenn, 26, won’t have a fiancé in the audience to cheer her on, Joey said his final rose recipient, fiancée KelseyAnderson, convinced him to do the show and will relocate to Los Angeles with him while he competes. “She’s been so supportive,” the Pennsylvania native said of Kelsey, 25. “She actually really pushed for me to do this, [and] we’re just gonna enjoy this time. It’s actually nice to slow it down a little bit and be in the same place. And, yeah, we’re gonna enjoy L.A. and just see what it’s like here for a little bit.”
Joey’s pro-partner, Jenna Johnson, is already impressed with his learning capabilities at ballroom dancing. “I’m really excited about his ability,” the season 26 Mirrorball winner said. “He’s not a dancer, but he can really pick it up and he’s so smart that he can process what I’m saying, and I’m really excited.” This dynamic between them will undoubtedly bring a fresh energy to the competition.
