AceShowbiz - "The Bachelor" star Joey Graziadei has taken to social media to address speculation surrounding his financial situation. In a video posted to his Instagram Story, the 29-year-old reality star denied being broke and explained his decision to move in with Kelsey Anderson and her roommates.
"Let me set the record straight," Graziadei said. "I'm not broke, I'm doing just fine." He added that his temporary living arrangement is by choice, as it allows him to spend more time with Anderson while she finishes out her lease.
Graziadei confirmed that his credit score did decline during his time on "The Bachelor", where he missed "one small payment" during filming. However, he said he has since raised his score.
The former tennis pro teacher also provided tips on how to improve credit scores. In June, he had revealed his score had dropped from 730 to 650 after missing the payment. "I come back [from the show] and my credit score bombed," he said at the time.
Graziadei and Anderson currently reside in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in New Orleans with her roommates. The couple met on season 28 of "The Bachelor" and became engaged in Tulum, Mexico.
In addition to addressing his financial situation, Graziadei also discussed the benefits of couples counseling, which he and Anderson have been undergoing. "The couples' counseling made a huge difference," he said. "It's definitely not easy because we both appreciate the physical touch," but virtual therapy has helped them communicate effectively.
