The Bachelor winner Kelsey Anderson has admitted she's "nervous" to live with Joey Graziadei for one reason.

Kelsey and Joey got engaged on The Bachelor's Season 28 finale, which aired on March 25, and they're planning to move to New York City together this summer, in July or August, once Kelsey's apartment lease in New Orleans is up.

Although Kelsey and Joey enjoyed happy-couple weekends and have been spending a lot of time together since going public with their relationship, it will be a whole new experience for the couple to live under the same roof.

"I think I'm nervous about him leaving the toilet seat up," Kelsey, 25, told Us Weekly.

And Joey, 28, was quick to agree with his fiancee.

Joey -- who has been sleeping in his sister's guest room in Philadelphia -- confessed, "I need to work on that one. We'll take it one step at a time."

The lovebirds, however, are really looking forward to taking their relationship to the next level.

"I think what I'm most excited about is the ability to be around each other so much," Joey shared with the magazine. "We finally will be able to just do small things together."

It was apparently Kelsey's idea to take their love to the Big Apple for a fresh start.

"I don't know if it's all the early 2000s rom-coms that I've watched, but something about [New York] is so intriguing to me," Kelsey explained.

"I don't care if I hate it or love it; I just need to go experience it, and Joey's fully supporting that."

Joey and Kelsey said they realize all of America is going to be watching them and keeping a close eye on their romance, but they're apparently not worried about that at all.

"I think that we know where we are at and we don't need reassurance from people that don't actually know us," Kelsey said.

And Joey added, "We'll figure out how to navigate that day by day. It's something that we're trying not to focus on too much because we got so many other things that we're excited about that we do want to focus on."

Joey and Kelsey have said in other post-show press that they want to have a long engagement, potentially three years, before tying the knot.

The pair is therefore in no rush to start a family, even though they "definitely want kids" down the road.

"I think it would be wrong to jump into a marriage too quickly because we are learning and dating again, and we have so much to look forward to," Joey said on a late March episode of "The Viall Files" podcast.

The Bachelor star acknowledged, "We definitely want to have the ability to enjoy our marriage."

In terms of having children, Joey shared, "I don't know if it ever made it on the show, but Kelsey always wanted to adopt. That was something that she was really big on."

"And she wants to probably have, like, 20 kids," he elaborated. "I would rather stay more in, like, the three range."

Joey went on to reveal how he and Kelsey "already have the name of our first kid picked out" for the future.

"It's easy because it would be taking [Kelsey's] last name. Anderson is her last name, and so it will obviously be her maiden name," Joey said.

"We kind of love it most for a girl, calling her Andi. So Anderson Graziadei is the idea of the first kid."


Joey concluded that he and Kelsey are certainly "talking about this stuff."

Joey chose Kelsey over his runner-up, Daisy Kent, on The Bachelor's 28th season.

Daisy had predicted that Joey was going to dump her, and so she essentially beat Joey to the punch and bowed out gracefully at the Final Rose Ceremony.

Daisy told Joey that he wasn't going to choose her and so she should leave, and Joey confirmed that her gut instinct was correct.

Joey proceeded to propose marriage to Kelsey in Tulum, Mexico.

During the live After the Final Rose special, Kelsey and Joey were gifted a trip back to Jasper, Canada, and Joey gushed of his fiancee, "I now have my 'forever,' and I'm the luckiest guy there could be... I don't know how I'm going to have a boring day of life with her by my side."
