Joey Graziadei Sileneces Romance Rumors With Jenna Johnson

Joey Graziadei is setting the record straight about the dating rumors surrounding him and his Dancing With the Stars partner, Jenna Johnson. In a recent episode of the Boyfriend Material podcast, Joey addressed the gossip head-on and made his feelings clear.

At 30 years old, Joey, who became well-known as the lead in The Bachelor season 28, shared that one of his main concerns about joining Dancing With the Stars was the possibility of false rumors about his relationships. "The only reason I hesitated to do the show was the fear of rumors like this," he admitted. "I knew that there was always an audience there that tries to ship couples."

While Joey acknowledged that the show often highlights storytelling and emotional performances, he emphasized that his connection with Jenna is strictly professional and there is no romantic element at all. "Your job on the show is to be connected and have chemistry with your partner," he explained. Although some fans tried to imply a romantic connection between them, Joey felt relieved to be paired with Jenna, who is married to fellow dancer Val Chmerkovskiy.

Instead of dwelling on the gossip, Joey took a moment to express his gratitude for his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, who has been wonderfully supportive throughout the drama. He noted that her trust in him has kept him grounded during this time. Kelsey, whom Joey proposed to during The Bachelor finale, has largely stayed quiet about the speculation, but Joey believes that her silence speaks volumes. With his honest remarks, there's no hidden romance with Jenna Johnson. There's only mutual respect, and teamwork is evident as they work together to deliver an excellent performance. As for his real-life relationship, he's keeping it private and focused on trust, away from the dance floor.
