The tennis pro popped the question on the season 28 finale.
Joey Graziadei is a bachelor no more!
After Daisy Kent took herself out of the running upon realizing that Joey was more in love with Kelsey Anderson, the tennis pro proved her right by popping the question to the junior project manager.
Before the engagement, Joey referred to Kelsey as "a bright light," saying, "She's everything I wanted and more."
When Joey took Kelsey to meet his family, they liked her, but expressed fear over whether or not she'd be ready to accept a proposal and get married.
Next, during their spa day date, Joey and Kelsey let loose and have fun. Things turned more serious during the nighttime portion of the date when Kelsey opened up about her fears that it wouldn't be her in the end.
Joey largely allayed her worries, and Kelsey gushed to him about what their life together could look like after the show.
When Daisy paid Kelsey a surprise visit ahead of the final rose ceremony, the latter woman wasn't shy about sharing her feelings for the tennis pro.
Then, after Daisy walked away from Joey, she made her way back to Kelsey, telling her of her late mom, "I know your mom's going to be looking down on this moment. She's going to be so happy."
As Kelsey, looking stunning in a white gown, made her way to a smiling Joey, he confessed, "It is her."
"I knew early on that there was something different about you, and I just wanted to learn more," Joey told Kelsey. "... There's nothing difficult about choosing you. I can't wait another minute to tell you that I love you."
"I've known for a while that I wanted to have a beautiful life, but I didn't know how beautiful that life could be until I met you," he said, before dropping down on one knee and popping the question.
She quickly accepted, and the pair was swept up in a romantic kiss. Kelsey went on to accept Joey's final rose.
During the live portion of the finale, Joey told host Jesse Palmer, "I now have my forever." With that, Kelsey came out on stage, gushing, "I am just so happy... I am just so excited for everyone to see how in love we are."
"It's been very hard for me to keep this in for so long," Joey admitted while smiling at his fiancée, before acknowledging how nervous he was to propose.
"You did perfectly," Kelsey assured him.
As for how her late mom would feel about her engagement, Kelsey said, "I know that she has watched our journey fully. I know she would love Joey without a doubt... I feel so lucky to have had the mom that I did for the time that I did. I definitely think she's smiling down at us right now."
Their relationship today, Joey said, is "the strongest it's ever been." Going forward, Kelsey revealed that Joey will be visiting her hometown of New Orlean before they make the move to New York this summer.
The live segment ended with Joey saying, "I'm so lucky... I can't wait to see what comes next."
