The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei has revealed if he's interested in competing on Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season later this year.

"I just did a year of reality TV, so I'm okay taking a little break, but if that call comes we'll talk it over," Joey told Entertainment Tonight in a recent joint interview with his new fiancee, The Bachelor's Season 28 winner Kelsey Anderson.
"We'll see if it can happen," Joey added, before quipping, "I've got some moves."
"He's got moves," Kelsey agreed. "He's better than me."

Joey also boasted about his "rhythm" during a late January appearance on the Live with Kelly and Mark show, which is co-hosted by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
"Okay... Confirm or deny, Joey. Isn't it really your grand plan to get on Dancing with the Stars? Yes or no?" Kelly asked The Bachelor star.
"If that call comes, I would be open to it," Joey replied at the time, "but to be honest, I'm trying to do one reality show at a time right now, so let's get through this one first."
When Joey's Live with Kelly and Mark appearance aired, The Bachelor had just premiered its 28th season on ABC.
"You know, I have a little rhythm," Joey proudly stated.

"If I get a drink or two in me, I think I can move a little bit, but I don't think that's allowed on Dancing with the Stars, so we'll see what happens."
By participating in Dancing with the Stars, Joey would be following in the footsteps of many The Bachelor and The Bachelorette alums before him who have competed on the reality dancing competition -- including his The Bachelorette ex, Charity Lawson, who placed fourth on Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season late last year with her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev.
The Bachelorette's Season 19 star Gabby Windey also competed on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars, and she placed second.
And Kaitlyn Bristowe memorably won Dancing with the Stars' 29th season, right after Hannah Brown was crowned champion of the reality dancing competition's 28th season.

Former The Bachelor stars don't have a history of making it as far in the Dancing with the Stars competition as Bachelorettes have, but Nick Viall, Sean Lowe, Chris Soules, Matt James, and Jake Pavelka have all tested their dancing skills in the ballroom.
Bachelor in Paradise's Joe Amabile also participated in a Dancing with the Stars season.
While Dancing with the Stars can be taxing and emotionally draining for a new The Bachelor or The Bachelorette couple, Charity and her fiance Dotun Olubeko made it out of the season happily engaged and unscathed.
Joey and Kelsey will also be able to enjoy many months together in private before Joey would have to be whisked away to Los Angeles to film Dancing with the Stars.
The cast of Dancing with the Stars -- its celebrities and their pro partners -- will be announced at a later date, as well as Season 33's official premiere date.

Last season, Dancing with the Stars was hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.
Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba had served as judges for Dancing with the Stars' 32nd season.
Joey and Kelsey's engagement aired on The Bachelor's Season 28 finale on March 25.
In post-show press, Joey and Kelsey said they want to have a long engagement, potentially three years before tying the knot. They also plan to move to New York City in July or August of this year.
Joey chose Kelsey during The Bachelor finale over his runner-up, Daisy Kent.
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, which filmed in Tulum, Mexico right before Thanksgiving 2023.

Daisy told Joey that he wasn't going to choose her and it would be best for her to leave, and Joey confirmed that Daisy's gut instinct was correct.
"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 gushed of Kelsey on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose.
