Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are celebrating their love story with another proposal.
More than two years after Graziadei first proposed during the season 28 finale of The Bachelor, the couple revealed that they recently got engaged again in a more personal moment shared just between the two of them in Cabo San Lucas.
The pair announced the news in a joint Instagram post, where Graziadei wrote, “SHE SAID YES (again) 💍.”

“Proposing again meant taking something that was already extraordinary and making it fully our own,” Graziadei wrote. “It means the world to be able to reaffirm our promise and love to one another just the two of us. Forever isn’t enough with you. I cannot wait to make you my wife.”
The renewed engagement comes as the couple continues planning their 2027 wedding. Most recently, Anderson, 28, opened up about their vision for the big day during an appearance on Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s PlanBri Uncut podcast in April.
Despite their public profiles, Anderson said she and Graziadei, 31, want the celebration to remain focused on their relationship rather than sponsorship opportunities.

“We decided, we were like, we don't want to do any brand deals for our wedding,” Anderson said. “Like, I'm not going to do any kind of brand deals where I have to post about my wedding, like someone sponsored our bar or anything like that. We don't want that because we just want it to be able to be seamless and about us.”
While the couple plans to hire wedding content creators to document the event, Anderson said she wants to remain present throughout the celebration.
“But I'm not gonna be making TikToks,” she explained. “They'll be making the TikToks so I don't have to worry about it, and I can just be in the moment.”
According to Anderson, the pair envisions a wedding that feels “romantic” and “moody,” possibly featuring candles and a “garden party vibe” during cocktail hour. Still, she said she has tried to keep a relaxed attitude throughout the planning process.
“I'm not 100% set on anything,” Anderson said. “I kind of feel like I'm going to be very go with the flow.”
“As long as he's there, I'm there, we've got a good DJ, a good band, I feel like I'm pretty set,” she added.

The couple has already enlisted wedding planners Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor of SAMKOMA to help bring their vision to life.
“They are two of the sweetest humans, and wow, we’re just so excited to be a part of their planning journey!” the planners told PEOPLE of the future newlyweds in September. “We feel super fortunate to work with genuinely kind humans — the world needs more of that.”
Graziadei has also begun building out his wedding party. Earlier this year, he revealed that fellow Bachelor Nation alum Tanner Courtad will serve as his best man.
In a video posted to Instagram in March, Graziadei surprised Courtad with an engraved cup asking, “Will you be my best man?” Courtad reacted in disbelief before telling his friend, “Let’s go!”

The couple first met during Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor after he previously appeared on The Bachelorette. During the March 2024 finale of The Bachelor, Graziadei proposed to Anderson, officially ending the season with their engagement.
After the finale aired, the pair spoke candidly with PEOPLE about adjusting to life as a public couple after keeping their relationship secret while the season aired.

“We have a shared note and we both add to it,” Anderson said at the time while describing the simple things they looked forward to doing together. “There's dance classes, pottery classes, grocery shopping — little things together and the big things.”
During that same period, the pair also attended couples therapy to strengthen their communication while navigating the unusual circumstances surrounding the show.
“It's definitely not easy because we both do appreciate the physical touch,” Graziadei told PEOPLE. “But the couples' counseling made a huge difference for us.”
