AceShowbiz - Joey Graziadei expressed his desire for a partner in a stable relationship before joining "Dancing with the Stars". "I wanted to be in a situation where I was comfortable that I didn't have to worry about a lot of this noise," he said.
However, rumors and allegations of inappropriate touching between Graziadei and Johnson have surfaced. Kelsey Anderson has taken to TikTok to address the situation, expressing her support for her fiance and frustration with the insinuations.
"So many people are like, 'Kelsey, why is Jenna touching your man like that?' And honestly, I don't know, maybe because it's her job," Anderson said. "Maybe because she's a professional dancer and she has to touch him to dance."
Anderson also pointed out that she and Graziadei navigated dating on reality TV surrounded by 31 other women, so she trusts their relationship amidst the current situation.
Jenna Johnson, who is married to fellow "DWTS" pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy, expressed her appreciation for Anderson's support and emphasized that they are intentional with their actions during dances, without catering to the audience's opinions.
Graziadei, paired with Johnson, is determined to settle down the rumors and focus on his performances. Johnson stated that their primary focus is pleasing their respective spouses and being aware of their feelings.
Despite the controversies, Graziadei and Johnson remain committed to the competition, with Anderson rooting for her fiance. Anderson's message to detractors was clear, "Let's keep it cute, ladies and gents."
