Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are set for a memorable holiday season. The Bachelor star, 29, recently shared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast that he and Kelsey, 26, will be spending Christmas with her family, including her father Mark Anderson’s new girlfriend, One Tree Hill actress Barbara Alyn Woods.
Graziadei expressed his enthusiasm for the gathering, stating, “We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey’s family and Mark’s new girlfriend as well… which is gonna be great.” He praised Woods, adding, “Barbara’s awesome. We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family, when Mark came to L.A. So, yeah, we spent Thanksgiving with my family. We’re spending Christmas with hers, and we’re excited for it.”

Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods’ relationship became public in October when they posted a photo together in what appeared to be a couple’s costume, dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming. Woods’ daughter, Natalie Alyn Lind, also featured in the photo dressed as Yoda from Star Wars. The caption read, “When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby…🫅👸👶.”
This post followed Woods’ divorce filing in May from her husband of two decades, John Lind, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce papers listed their separation date as November 2021, with Lind requesting joint custody of their youngest daughter.
Graziadei and Anderson’s relationship began with his proposal during the season 28 finale of The Bachelor in March 2024. Their bond has remained strong, with Anderson supporting Graziadei throughout his winning journey on Dancing with the Stars.

The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in November 2024. Graziadei marked the occasion with an Instagram post expressing his love and appreciation for Anderson. He wrote, “I still cannot believe that it has been a year since I got down on one knee and asked you to marry me. 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.” Anderson responded with a heartfelt comment: “🥹🥹 I love you so much. A year ago I wouldn’t expect to be cheering you on for our anniversary but I wouldn’t change a thing today.❤️ keep crushing it baby.”
Following Graziadei’s DWTS victory, the couple recently moved into an apartment in Los Angeles, solidifying their commitment to building a life together. Graziadei commented on Anderson’s Instagram post about the move, saying, “Love you babe. Can’t wait to create a beautiful home with you!!” This Christmas gathering with family, including Woods, marks another significant milestone in their relationship.
