Kelsey told Joey that she was "in love" with him during their overnight Fantasy Suite, and Joey confirmed that he was "falling in love" with Kelsey as well.

And despite scaring Joey with a "We Need to Talk" letter, Kelsey shared with The Bachelor star how she missed him whenever they weren't together and she truly wanted to meet his family.

Kelsey only has one woman standing in her way of the final rose: Daisy Kent.

Kelsey called Joey the man of her dreams, and Joey said his overnight date with Kelsey was "indescribable."

According to a preview of The Bachelor finale, Joey admits his physical connection with Kelsey is really strong but Daisy seemed to understand him to the core.

Until The Bachelor viewers can find out whom Joey picked as his winner and whether he's happily engaged to this day on the finale airing on Monday, March 25 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, let's get to know this bachelorette a little better right now.

Below is a list of 12 facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Bachelor bachelorette Kelsey Anderson.

Kelsey A. didn't have a traditional childhood

Both of Kelsey's parents were in the military. The bachelorette therefore spent most of her childhood growing up in Germany on a U.S. military base.

Kelsey is extremely close with her big, loving family, and she'd like to start a family of her own one day.

Kelsey A.'s mother died after cancer diagnosis

Kelsey's mother was diagnosed with cancer about 10 years ago, and then the cancer metastasized to her mother's bones and she passed away in 2018.

Kelsey misses her mother's bright light and positive energy, but going through such a heartbreaking event has brought her closer to her father than ever before.

The Bachelor bachelorette is so proud of her current city

The project manager now lives in New Orleans, where she enjoys taking the streetcar to new restaurants, walking around the French market, and having a picnic with her friends.

Kelsey boasts about the food, music and culture in New Orleans -- but not the men.

"I don't feel like the guys I meet when I'm out are the type of guys I want to date. I don't like bad boys," Kelsey explains. "I like boys that treat me right that are nice."

Kelsey, however, doesn't have deep roots in New Orleans, and so she'd be willing to move for love.

The Bachelor bachelorette prides herself on being thoughtful

Kelsey likes making thoughtful gifts and giving homemade tokens of affection to her partner when she's in love.

The bachelorette wants to meet a man with a great sense of humor who's understanding and who loves giving back as much as she does. She hopes to start her own nonprofit one day.

It also wouldn't hurt if Kelsey's future boyfriend -- or husband -- loves Mardi Gras, just like she does.

"I'm not freakin' boring y'all! I'm freakin' cool! Well, I think I'm cool. I do cool things. I drink alcohol. No, I'm just kidding. No, I've been skydiving, I love going on sporadic trips, I planned a trip out of the country in 12 hours and went!"

Kelsey continued to argue, "I have fun and I like to laugh, and I like to do things that are cool that other people than me do, I think! I don't know, but I'm freakin' cool and you know what? I don't care what y'all say! I don't care. Whatever y'all say, I don't care, because I'm not boring."

Kelsey A. reacts to fans eager to see her dad as The Golden Bachelor star

Kelsey took to TikTok after her hometown aired on The Bachelor and playfully vented about how fans all over the world were obsessing about how her handsome New Orleans-based father, Mark, should star on Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor.

"Please just no more Sexy Red edits of my dad.. Use Billy Joel or something. That's all.. I'll let Mark have his moment," Kelsey captioned her post, referring to how fans have made video montages of Kelsey's dad set to the sexually-explicit song "SkeeYee" by Sexyy Red.

Kelsey said in the video, "I would just like to thank everyone for the nightmares that I will have tonight in regards to the posts y'all have made about my dad. It is frightful indeed -- very!"

"Why are there thirst traps of my father on TikTok?" the bachelorette went on. "I don't even have thirst traps y'all!"

Kelsey proceeded to joke about how she's "scarred for life" after seeing those video clips.

But Kelsey suggested that she'd be open to her dad going on a reality dating show.

"I feel like I need to make my dad a business email for all of these people, trying to set him up with their mom, their sister, their aunt, their niece or themselves," Kelsey quipped.

"I'm like, 'Y'all, Marky Mark for Golden Bachelor!' Come on! Can they just do that?! I don't know. I feel like we should riot? Should we riot? I'll riot. Okay, guys."

Earlier that day, Kelsey had posted a different TikTok video that showed Mark revealing if he'd even be interested in starring on The Golden Bachelor, following in Gerry Turner's footsteps.

"Are you going to be the next The Golden Bachelor?" Kelsey asked.

"No," Mark responded.

"Maybe," Kelsey insisted.

"I'm too young!" Mark concluded.

Kelsey A. reveals her guilty pleasures

Kelsey's celebrity crush, arguably another guilty pleasure when watching him on TV, is Michael Strahan.
