When Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei tie the knot, they plan to make sure her late mother will be honored.
“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”
Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.
“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”

Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.
“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”
She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”

Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.
“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”
Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.
Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.

He might be the object of many a heart’s desire (who could forget that workout photo?!), but Lenny Kravitz has been single for 10 years — and he’s happy that way.
“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” Kravitz, 60, told The Times in an interview published Saturday, February 22. “But right now, I’m good where I am.”
Kravitz’s relationship history is a storied one — he was married to Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, at which time the pair welcomed their daughter Zoe Kravitz in 1988. After the pair’s split, he went on to have a five-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, and was at one point even engaged to Nicole Kidman.
In May 2024, Kravitz also said he’s chosen to remain celibate until he finds the right partner, something The Times noted he appeared to wave off in this interview.

He was much more willing to talk about daughter Zoe, 36, who hilariously noted that her father’s “relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one — and it works” when Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2024.
Kravitz hasn’t stopped wearing mesh shirts, either.
“So now people come up to me when I’m wearing [one]: ‘What did your daughter tell you?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And I look down and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a caricature of myself,’” he told the publication.
The singer and actor also shared where he likes to shop for furniture (Paris flea markets, something Paradis introduced him to in the 1990s) and clothes (“I have certain vintage dealers that I deal with. They curate things, they know what I like.”) before he revealed he has a fondness for the Netflix series Emily in Paris.
“I’ve seen the whole thing,” he said. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”
Lenny Kravitz Is Ready to 'Meet the Right Person' and Get Married
Though Kravitz might have been single for a decade, it doesn’t seem that it’s completely for lack of trying — but maybe for lack of following through. In November 2024, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 57, claimed Kravitz asked for her number, but never actually called her.
“He was really nice,” she said on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast at the time. “He didn’t use my damn number.”
Perhaps it was for the best, Bailey continued, because she “didn’t feel any sparks” either way.
Lenny Kravitz is “Sittin’ on Top of the World” as a devoted father to daughter Zoë Kravitz.
Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)
“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”
As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.

“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”
Keep scrolling for the “American Woman” rockstar’s honest quotes about fatherhood through the years:
“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”
Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.
“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”
Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.
Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”
“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”
Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”
“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”

Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.
“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”
Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swift write songs for 2022’s Midnights.
“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”
Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)
“Hey man, that’s life. When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that’s it,” Lenny gushed to Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve done well. Blessed.”
During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)
“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”
Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)
“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”
