"Your 20s were full of adventure new places, unforgettable memories, & moments that shaped you into the incredible man you are today and I’m so lucky every decision led you to me," she wrote, before sharing her wishes for his next decade.
"They say your 30s are when life really begins… so let’s get this thing going! I can’t wait for all that’s ahead, and I’m so grateful I get to do it with you," she continued. "Let’s make this the most magical decade yet. 💗."
On the eve of Graziadei's milestone birthday, the couple revealed that he had completed the final item on his "30 by 30" bucket list — "Go to Disneyland." In an Instagram Stories post, Graziadei shared that he checked off the last item on the list "just in time."
"This was so special to finish this bucket list with some of my favorite people at the happiest place on earth," he wrote alongside an image of his "30 by 30" list.
He and Anderson also jointly shared an Instagram Reel showing the pair standing inside the Disney park with the message, "Joey completed his 30 by 30 … now what?" In the caption, Anderson added: "31 before 31 doesn’t have the same ring to it."
Graziadei proposed to Anderson during the season 28 finale of The Bachelor, which aired in March 2024.
Months later, after Graziadei competed — and won — Dancing with the Stars' latest season in November, the couple moved into an apartment in Los Angeles.
