Joey selected Kelsey as his winner and the pair got engaged during The Bachelor's Season 28 finale that aired March 25 on ABC.

But before Joey officially picked Kelsey, The Bachelor star had a romantic overnight date in Mexico with each of his Final 3 bachelorettes: Kelsey, Daisy and Rachel.
Fantasy Suites enabled Joey to take his relationships to the next level, emotionally and/or physically, and so fans have naturally been wondering if the tennis pro had sex with one, two or all three of the women.

"The uninterrupted time you get during overnights, it's so important to see how everything is off-camera and to see how the chemistry and the dynamic of us continues to grow," Joey shared during the March 28 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast.
"That was hands down the best night [Kelsey andI] had because I think we stayed up until, like, 4 or 5AM talking, and it was natural and it was easy."
Kelsey chimed in, "I just want to say that Joey navigated Fantasy Suites perfectly, in my opinion."
Kelsey giggled, which prompted the podcast's host, Season 21 The Bachelor star Nick Viall, to announce, "It sounds like Joey didn't hook up with anyone else!"
"I'm not going to give any more details on that," Kelsey quipped. "But I thought he navigated it perfectly."

When recalling their Fantasy Suite date, Kelsey shared how she and Joey talked about their political views.
"We had deeper convos," Joey noted.
"We touched on issues that were maybe makes or breaks for us, that we didn't want to talk about on-camera," Kelsey said. "We talked so much about all of that stuff, but yeah, I knew that he was going to spend the night with two other women."
Kelsey admitted that even just "thinking about him sleeping next to another woman kind of bothered" her, but at the same time, Kelsey said she was determined to just focus on their connection.
"I didn't want to know anything about anybody else," Kelsey confirmed. "I did not hear anything until afterwards, but yeah, I think he navigated it really well, and I just tried taking it step by step."

Joey admitted he was "scared" of Fantasy Suites and how they typically cause a falling out for past Bachelors and their winners.
"I did think through everything. I was doing my best to handle that situation, while it's not easy, as well as I could," Joey explained.
"And I do think it's important to highlight that that's a very important night to talk through things, and that's what I really tried to focus on. And, yeah, I handled it the best way that I could!"

Joey shared how his night off-camera with Kelsey was "almost too good," adding, "It was weird... we just talked and talked and talked."

Joey said he and Kelsey had no "awkward pauses," and Kelsey agreed, "We just clicked and talked a lot."
Joey also broke down his The Bachelor elimination and date decisions for Kelsey week to week.
"[I gave her] a whole synopsis," Joey revealed.
"It was just fun to re-go through the whole experience together and talk about all that," Kelsey gushed. "I think I read him some of my journal entries to him."
Joey recalled that being a "sweet" moment during their Fantasy Suite, and he admitted he was able to stay up until 4 or 5AM when he's a person who really needs his sleep.
"Knowing him and how he is with his sleep now, like, wow! I'm like, 'He really loved me to want to stay up that late!'" Kelsey boasted.
"It was necessary," Joey added.
When asked who brought up the Fantasy Suite conversation after they got engaged, Joey revealed, "I did all of that, and I didn't waste a second. That was even [talked about] when we were still in Tulum."
Joey added, "I tried my best because I didn't want her to think I was trying to hide or hold anything away from her."
Joey's The Bachelor season wrapped right before Thanksgiving last year, and so he spoke to Kelsey about his Fantasy Suite dates in November.
"I also got the ability to ask her while we were in Tulum, 'What do you want to know? Let's talk through it. We can have these conversations later, but I don't know what they're going to show because obviously things get cut out in some ways,'" Joey said.

"I was like, 'You let me know what you want to know, and I'll tell you everything.' It definitely started off a little difficult, giving all the tea of what happened during my season, but I think she appreciated that."

Kelsey added how Joey "thankfully" didn't have much to hide anyway.
"It was a quick conversation!" Kelsey quipped.
Joey chose Kelsey over his runner-up, Daisy Kent, on The Bachelor's 28th season.
Daisy had predicted that Joey was going to dump her, and so she essentially beat Joey to the punch and bowed out gracefully at the Final Rose Ceremony.
Daisy told Joey that he wasn't going to choose her and so she should leave, and Joey confirmed that her gut instinct was correct.
Joey proceeded to propose marriage to Kelsey in Tulum, Mexico, and so the season ended with an engagement.
During the live After the Final Rose special, Kelsey and Joey were gifted a trip back to Jasper, Canada, and Joey gushed of his fiancee, "I now have my 'forever,' and I'm the luckiest guy there could be... I don't know how I'm going to have a boring day of life with her by my side."
Joey decided to visit Kelsey in her hometown of New Orleans after the show, and the couple said they plan to move to New York City in July or August this summer once Kelsey's lease is up.
While Kelsey and Joey have big travel plans for this year, such as a couple of weddings abroad, they're also looking forward to the little things.
"There's dance classes, pottery classes, grocery shopping -- little things together and the big things. I'm just excited to do life together and just run to the store together," Kelsey told People.

And Joey noted how he can't wait to "see the world" with Kelsey, adding, "But then also just be a normal couple because we haven't gotten a chance to do that yet, so a lot to look forward to."
The pair intend to have a three-year engagement before getting married, but they said they're excited to have a big family one day.
