Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California has become a popular spot for former contestants of The Bachelor to reconnect, even if they are exes. Joey Graziadei and his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, were seen at the music festival wearing matching straw cowboy hats. They received hydration treatments from Drip Labs alongside Maria Georgas, who made it to Joey’s final four on the show. Joey shared footage of the moment on his Instagram Story, showing off his IV and expressing the need to pump his body with nutrients.
During the festival, Joey and Kelsey watched performances from the diamond VIP area, where they interacted with other Bachelor Nation alumni including Hannah Godwin, Dylan Barbour, and Peter Weber. Despite mingling with other former contestants, Joey made sure to include Kelsey in their activities and the insider reported that he always made sure to include her before moving to different sections. The couple met and got engaged on The Bachelor, with Joey expressing excitement about being able to spend more time together and not focusing too much on social media criticism.
Before ultimately choosing Kelsey for his final rose, Joey had strong connections with other contestants such as Daisy Kent, Rachel Nance, and Maria. Maria was eliminated after the hometowns episode, and Daisy left on her own during the finale. Maria reflected on her journey on The Bachelor, stating that watching it back provided her with closure and that everything played out as it should have. As the show aired, Maria became a fan-favorite with many fans hoping she would be the next Bachelorette, but it was later revealed that Jenn Tran was selected for the role.
Maria expressed gratitude for the support and appreciation from fans who wanted to see more of her on the show. While she had never considered being the Bachelorette before, she acknowledged that it would be a unique and interesting experience if offered the opportunity. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her future on the show, Maria remained thankful for the positive feedback and interest from fans. Currently, Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette is in the process of filming, and it is unknown if Maria was ever considered for the role.
