At a recent Raising Cane’s Fashion Week event — which Woman’s World got an exclusive invite to — the reality TV star dished on things like how she and Bachelor fiancé Joey Graziadei are doing, whether she’s going to be watching him on season 33 of Dancing With The Stars, how fellow contestant Jenn Tran’s recent season of The Bachelorette made her feel and what she really thinks about her dad going on the first-ever season of The Golden Bachelorette.

Anderson met her fiancé, Graziadei, on season 28 (2024) of the popular reality dating television show The Bachelor. 

Right off the bat, viewers were quick to notice the pair’s chemistry and how easy it was for them to open up to one another. The two would get engaged in the season finale, and have been together ever since. 

And now Anderson has revealed what’s next for the couple. 

“We rushed our engagement, and we don’t want to rush marriage, so we’re taking our time,” she said at the Raising Canes Fashion Week event. “Within the next six months, I think we’ll have a date and a location … but it’s kind of on pause right now because Dancing With The Stars is a lot of work. He’s training 24/7 and is pretty tired after the training. So we just like to relax.”

Anderson’s fiancé, Graziadei, is set to compete on season 33 of the hit dance competition show Dancing with the Stars, teaming up with dance pro Jenna Johnson. 

“I’m excited to watch him shake his little booty,” revealed Anderson. “Jenna is amazing. She has an amazing husband and an amazing little baby that I got to meet. So, I think that they’re going to crush it together.” 

She added that Graziadei “wants to continue dancing even after all this. He’s just living it up, loving it, and enjoying every second. So that’s all I could want for him.”

Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette ended with Tran bawling her eyes out to her ex-fiancé Devin Strader after he decided to end their engagement rather abruptly, and Anderson offered up some interesting insights on what she thought about the whole thing. 

“I think that Jenn deserves the best. She’s an amazing woman. She has a great heart,” Anderson said. “I can’t imagine going through what she went through because everything that I said to Joey and everything that Joey said to me meant so much. I can’t imagine someone afterwards being, like, ‘I actually didn’t mean that.’ So my heart goes out to Jenn, but she’s living her best life and we’re focusing on Dancing With The Stars, and she’s going to crush it.” 

Tran is set to compete alongside Graziadei on season 33 of the dance competition show.

“I am so excited for him. My dad deserves everything in the world,” Anderson gushed. “He’s the most amazing dad, and so I think that he is very deserving of love, and I know my mom would want that for him.”

Anderson’s mom died in 2018 of breast cancer, but she thinks this could make him a good match for Joan. 

“I got to introduce my dad to Joan, and I think that that was really special, because I had met Joan a couple of times and I know the type of woman she is and what she’s gone through, which was very similar to my dad losing my mom the way she lost her husband.” 

Anderson may have to steel herself, though, she admits: “It’s going to be weird watching my dad kiss. I know it can get a little crazy, so we’ll see. I might have to close my eyes a little bit.”
