Kelsey Anderson Jokes Her Voodoo Doll Helped Her Win Over Joey Graziadei: ‘Little Joey Worked His Magic’

Voodoo magic...
Bachelor Nation fans saw Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei fall in love and get engaged on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”
The two have been enjoying their lives together and traveling the world since their time on the show and are starting to plan their wedding.
As fans remember, Kelsey made a strong first impression when she stepped out of the limo with a voodoo doll that was modeled to look like Joey.

Now, the Bachelor Nation star is joking in a new post online that her voodoo doll was what helped her win over Joey.
In the video posted to her Instagram, Kelsey is seen lip-synching to the song “Friends on the Other Side” as she shows photos of her and Joey from their time together on “The Bachelor.”
The first photo that pops up is of Joey proposing on one knee to Kelsey as she lip-synchs the lyric, “Make your wildest dreams come true.”
Then the song says, “I’ve got voodoo, I’ve got hoodoo, I got things I ain’t even tried” as she shows two photos from their one-on-one dates. She then shows a photo of her limo entrance from Night 1 where she’s kissing the voodoo doll while standing in front of Joey.

Kelsey then ends the video with her holding up the same Joey voodoo doll close to her face as she lip-synchs, “And I got friends on the other side.”
She captioned the post, “Little Joey worked his magic 😂❤️” and people filled the comments with their reactions to her video.
One person said, “KELSEY YOU ARE ICONIC🤣🖤” and Joey’s sister Carly Monzo chimed in, “Really looks just like him.”
Fellow Bachelor Nation stars Lea Cayanan wrote, “SO LIKE ARE YOU GONNA SEND ME THE LINK STILL OR WHAT,” and Kaity Biggar added, “😂❤️”
Too funny! We can't get enough of Joey and Kelsey’s relationship, and we’re so excited for all that the future holds for these two!
