Kelsey Anderson is celebrating all of fiancé Joey Graziadei’s wins.

The Bachelor winner, 28, teased Graziadei on her Instagram Stories on Monday, Jan. 27, ahead of the season 29 premiere of the hit dating show. Anderson reposted a “kiss count,” which showed that Graziadei kissed seven contestants on night one — which tied with Zach Shallcross for the most out of all the prior Bachelors.

“Wow so proud of @joeygraziadei for always over achieving 😍😂😂😭,” she playfully wrote.

She also commented on the original post on the official “Bachelor data” page, writing, “My little overachiever 😂😂😂”

Grant Ellis kicked off the newest season of the franchise by matching Graziadei and Shallcross’ number, although a quick peck with an eighth woman arguably put him at the top. The 31-year-old day trader met 25 women on the premiere episode, telling cameras he was excited for the journey to begin. 

“I’m ready to get married. I’m ready to have kids,” he said. “But at the same time, I’m nervous.”

He previously teased the ending of the season, telling PEOPLE he was “happy” with the outcome.

“Without giving away too much, things ended the way they were supposed to end, and I’m happy with it,” The Bachelor, 31, tells PEOPLE. “I’m happy with decisions I made, and I don’t regret anything. I’m very happy with the ending.”

Anderson was a contestant on Graziadei’s season 28 of The Bachelor, and although she was not one of his kisses on night one, she took home the final rose in the end. In November 2024, the couple celebrated 365 days together.

“I still cannot believe that it has been a year since I got down on one knee and asked you to marry me,” the Pennsylvania native wrote on Instagram. “This is another appreciation post for everything you do. The laughs, the love, the support, the joy and the excitement. Every day with you is an adventure.”

They have also expressed wanting to have a long engagement, both telling PEOPLE in the past that they are in no rush to get married.

“We want to promise our lives together, but we don’t want to rush it,” Graziadei said. “It’s time now to enjoy this. We have the rest of our lives to celebrate it. We’re going to take it day by day and just enjoy this time.”

Anderson went on to say that they intend on taking two or three years to get to know each other better before planning a wedding, but she does know she wants a “timeless” ceremony.

“I honestly don’t know what I want my wedding to look like,” she explained. “I definitely want all my close friends and family there. I think I want a very timeless wedding, but where? Not sure. I guess we’re going to have to figure that out.”

Graziadei added: “I’m sure more ideas will come out of that. We have no interest in putting it off, we just don’t want to rush through it. We want it to be something that feels special together.”
