Joey Graziadei’s Christmas is going to include quality time with Kelsey Anderson’s dad, Mark Anderson, and Barbara Alyn Woods.
“We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey’s family and Mark’s new girlfriend as well … which is gonna be great,” the former Bachelor, 29, said of his and Kelsey’s holiday plans on the Friday, December 20 episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “Barbara’s awesome.”
Graziadei added that this will not be the first time he’s gotten to hang out with his future father-in-law, 57 and Woods, 62.
“We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family, when Mark came to L.A.,” he continued. “We spent Thanksgiving with my family. We’re spending Christmas with hers, and we’re excited for it.”
Mark and the One Tree Hill alum sparked romance rumors in October when the pair dressed up in a Cinderella-themed couple’s costume.
“When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby,” Woods captioned a Halloween Instagram Reel that featured her 24-year-old daughter Natalie, who was dressed as the Star Wars character Grogu from The Mandalorian series. (Woods shares daughters Alyvia, Natalie and Emily with her ex-husband, John Lind.)
The following month, Woods shared a TikTok video of her and Mark dancing together in front of a Christmas tree. She captioned the clip, “IN GOOD COMPANY,” and tagged Mark in the post.
When Graziadei was crowned the season 33 champion of Dancing With the Stars, Woods publicly congratulated him via social media.
“CONGRATS @joeygraziadei,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in November alongside a clip of the moment Graziadei and his partner, Jenna Johnson, were holding up the Len Goodman mirrorball trophy.

Bachelor Nation got to know Kelsey’s dad briefly during Graziadei’s season where Graziadei proposed to Kelsey during the season 28 finale, which aired earlier this year. Fans fell in love with Mark more when he appeared on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette. While Mark didn’t win the heart of Joan Vassos, fans were rooting for him to find a second chance at love — including Kelsey. (Kelsey’s mom, Denise, died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.)
“I think that he grew a lot from it and I’m just really proud of him,” Kelsey told Us about watching her dad’s journey on the dating series in October. “I’m also really thankful for Joan in helping my dad through all of this.”
