As Kelsey and Joey continue to build their life together, they'll have to decide where they want to live and raise their family. Although they relocated to Los Angeles when Joey was a contestant during DWTS season 33, they don't have to live there forever. Kelsey spent most of her childhood in Germany on a U.S. military base because her father, Mark Anderson, and her late mother, Denise Anderson, served in the military, but she considers New Orleans her home. Perhaps some day Joey and Kelsey will return to her hometown of New Orleans and make it their forever home.

The Bachelor season 29 starring Grant Ellis airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
