But Joey is currently living in Los Angeles for his stint on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season.

"I was spending a lot of time in New Orleans with her, living with her roommates, and this is the first time we've been in a place just us and kind of starting to make a home together," Joey shared during a recent episode of "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast."

Joey elaborated how it's been "really fun" living with Kelsey in California, and he added, "We have our own place and we're doing a lot of stuff and getting a lot of alone time together -- which we found, in our little way, in New Orleans, but this is even better."

When asked to share what's next for the happy couple, Joey revealed, "That's a big thing for us, trying to figure out what's going to happen post-show."

"We've talked about New York, but being here in L.A. and enjoying it, we're also a lot more open to staying here," Joey told former The Bachelor star Ben Higgins.

"We think there are a lot of great opportunities here too. The weather does not suck. It fits a lot of the things that I want to do, like playing more golf and tennis and being in that world."

But Joey said "the biggest thing" for them, at this moment, is "staying present" and enjoying time together.

"We aren't traveling all over the place like we have been for the past few months," Joey explained.

"We're really diving into this [Dancing with the Stars] experience for both of us because it is an experience for the both of us right now. And we're looking forward to what could possibly be in the future."

Joey noted he and Kelsey "are not making any rash decisions."

However, he teased, "We're both enjoying L.A., and it seems likely that we might stay here post-show... There are so many exciting things that are going on here."

"But in all honesty," The Bachelorette alum continued, "it's still a temporary move and we're still just trying to live in the present and do the best we can to build our relationship. That's what we're really focusing on."

Joey shared that Kelsey has been "nothing but supportive" of his Dancing with the Stars journey but they're "still learning" about each other along the way.

Joey said he continues to make Kelsey a priority by "being really present" when he returns home from a Dancing with the Stars rehearsal or performance.

Joey also shared that he does his best to communicate his needs given he's been pretty tired and working really hard.

"If we need to have a chill night, she'll understand that," Joey noted. "But then if she really wants to go out and go to this party because it's an opportunity for her to meet more people, I've got to suck it up and go to that party."

Joey also said he and Kelsey don't let anything "fester" if there is a real issue between them.

"She's happy. I'm happy. We're just trying to have fun with this awesome opportunity that came my way," Joey noted.

Although Joey and Jenna have been criticized for looking "cozy" and "flirty" on and offstage, Joey insisted nothing is going on with Jenna and he had even requested a Dancing with the Stars partner in a happy and healthy relationship.

And Kelsey has made it known that there's no jealousy or mistrust from her end.

Kelsey recently shared in a TikTok video how she's "tired" of seeing comments online about Joey and Jenna being too handsy with each other.

"So many people are like, 'Kelsey, why is Jenna touching your man like that?' And honestly, I don't know, maybe because it's her job," Kelsey quipped in a September 19 video.

"Maybe because she's a professional dancer and she has to touch him to dance. I don't know, that's my understanding of it. I'm just so tired of people being like, 'Kelsey is so strong. I could not do that. I could not watch if I were Kelsey.'"

Kelsey -- who accepted Joey's marriage proposal when The Bachelor's Final Rose Ceremony filmed in late 2023 -- said she has accumulated a strong "level of security" with Joey.

"Joey and I [are] still together and strong after a year of all that craziness," Kelsey confirmed, adding how Joey gives her "reassurance" she needs and they are "all good in the hood."

"If I can survive [The Bachelor process], I can survive watching him dance with a married woman with a cute little baby boy -- crushing it," Kelsey noted, referring to Jenna and husband Val Chmerkovskiy's son Rome. "I am very proud of Joey."

Joey revealed to Ben that he and Kelsey are actually in "the best spot" they've ever been now that Kelsey is "being more vocal" about how their relationship is thriving in the real world.

Joey and Jenna survived a big double elimination on the latest Dancing with the Stars episode, and Joey has proven he can dance with his solid DWTS judges' scores.

Many fans are thinking Joey may become the first former The Bachelor star to make it to the finale.
