TULUM, MEXICO: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Joey Graziadei recently admitted to being in love with Kelsey Anderson. During the Fantasy Suite date, Joey and Kelsey had similar feelings and wanted to admit their 'scary' feelings. They were scared of rejection but managed to express their true affection. Joey admitted about Kelsey in the confessional, "How joyful I feel around her and I think it's because I can picture so much of a future with Kelsey."

Meanwhile, Kelsey told the cameras about the other women in Joey's life, "It's just a little scary and I just get in my head about it. But at the end of the day, it's an engagement, so it's like you kind of have to lay it all out there." Joey was hesitant about confessing his love and claimed that he had yet to hear the 'love' word from Kelsey.

However, Joey finally decided to admit his love and told Kelsey, "I don't want to hold it back anymore 'cause it's hard in this position." He added, "I want to let you know that I'm falling in love with you, and I know how real it is." Kelsey also expressed her love for him and claimed, "I feel like I'm on the top of the world right now."
