Joey and Kelsey discussed the future and their thoughts on having a family while playing a game at a Thursday, November 7 "Chicks in the Office" event in Kansas City, MO.
The game was designed for Joey and Kelsey to find out how well they know each other.
At one point, the couple was asked to write down how many kids Kelsey would like to have.
Joey responded, "She wants at least three kids and one of them's adopted," according to the magazine.
The Bachelor 28 star continued, "She knows I only want two. We've talked about this. But I know she wants three kids and one needs to be adopted."
For her part, Kelsey joked in her response, "I put one million," before bursting out into laughter.
"I know she wants a lot of kids," Joey acknowledged, "but I have to stop her at some point."
Joey and Kelsey's public appearance follows weeks of speculation their relationship is under "strain" as Joey competes -- and arguably flirts with -- his beautiful pro partner, Jenna Johnson, on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season.
Joey and Kelsey also apparently can't agree on where they're going to live once Joey's Dancing with the Stars stint in Los Angeles, CA, comes to an end.
Kelsey and Joey, who got engaged on The Bachelor's 28th season, are trying to choose between settling down in New York or California post-Dancing with the Stars.

"It's funny because L.A. is so long, and New York is so tall. But I love New York. I love the hustle and bustle of a city like New York," Kelsey told Jason Tartick during an October episode of his "Trading Secrets" podcast.
"I've always just been drawn to it, and I talked about New York to Joey on [The Bachelor] -- about how I've always wanted to live there one day. I've always wanted to live there."

Kelsey, however, pointed out how Joey may not be happy with the lifestyle New York offers.
"Joey loves tennis, golf and surfing. He loves that Hawaii lifestyle and being outdoors, and New York doesn't really give that to him," Kelsey explained.
"So we're thinking about both options, but I think we're probably leaning more towards L.A. right now. I am trying to give it a chance and see how I like it, but I know that Joey would be a lot happier here."
Kelsey therefore acknowledged that she may be willing to compromise for her man.
"I have to take [Joey] into consideration. I can't just be like, 'You're coming to New York!' Because I know he would, if I really was set on it," Kelsey explained.

Kelsey confirmed that when weighing the pros and cons of both states, New York is her ideal place to live.
Since New York is Kelsey's dream, she shared, "Joey was like, 'Let's go every month for a week to New York.' He's like, 'I still want you to get that taste of New York.'"
"So we'll see how we figure it out and how we navigate doing both," she added.
"It's hard because the flights are a couple hours and there's a time difference and all that."

In the meantime, Kelsey -- who previously worked as a project manager in New Orleans -- gushed about how she and Joey are making good money in L.A. and have a lot of support from friends and family.
Kelsey has also dipped her toes into modeling and has been "talking to agencies." Her dream is to pose for Victoria's Secret or Sports Illustrated.
The Bachelor 28 winner also said she can imagine herself owning a coffee shop one day or becoming a race car driver.
Kelsey had accepted Joey's marriage proposal when The Bachelor's Final Rose Ceremony filmed in late 2023, and she said how she's accumulated a strong "level of security" with Joey since then.
"Joey and I [are] still together and strong after a year of all that craziness," Kelsey recently confirmed via TikTok, adding how Joey gives her "reassurance" she needs and they are "all good in the hood."
Kelsey noted, "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 was referring to Joey's Dancing with the Stars pro partner Jenna Johnson and her son with husband Val Chmerkovskiy, Rome.
