Is Katie Thurston Dating? Love Life Updates Following ‘The Bachelorette’: Details
Off the market once again? Katie Thurston‘s dating life has made major headlines, even following her stint as the Bachelorette for the show’s 17th season.
When Katie’s season of The Bachelorette came to an end, she was engaged to Blake Moynes. However, they announced their split in October 2021, two months after he proposed. She was quick to move on with John Hersey, who had been a contestant on Katie’s season. They were together from November 2021 until June 2022.
But has she officially moved on?
Is Katie Thurston Single?
Katie is engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri.
In May 2024, the Washington native revealed she was dating someone new, but she remained tight-lipped on the identity of her new suitor.
“I’m seeing somebody,” Katie said during an episode of the “Your Mom & Dad” podcast. “I haven’t actually said this yet. You heard it here first. [I’ve been] taken off the market.”
The ABC star said that the two were “very much in that so-called honeymoon phase” and teased that her new boyfriend was “also a public person.” It wasn’t until June 2024 that Katie revealed the identity of her new man, Jeff.
“Safe to say he’s making it to hometowns next week,” Katie wrote alongside a photo of her and Jeff sharing a smooch on June 14.
In September 2024, Katie announced that Jeff had popped the big question and the two were engaged via Instagram. She shared a carousel of photos of her and Jeff on the beaches of Hawaii that included several peeks at her new jewelry. Katie also shared a clip of the sweet moment when Jeff got down on one knee.
“When you know, you know,” Katie wrote on September 15, 2024.
Is Katie Thurston Dating Nick Uhlenhuth?
However, in January 2023, fans started to speculate that she was more than friends with The Circle star Nick Uhlenhuth after they spent New Year’s Eve together. Both reality stars shared photos of their night out with friends, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that both Katie and Nick included solo shots with each other amid their social media roundups.
“I used to hate having a birthday so close to the New Year but now I love it! It’s this full circle moment each year that marks a brand new chapter,” the former Bachelorette star captioned her post. “I’m excited to be 32 in 2023. In my gut, I just know, this is going to be one hell of a year and I’m so excited! My 2023 mantra: Watch me.”
Nick, for his part, captioned his post, writing, “I couldn’t be more stoked for 2023. I truly think it’s gonna be an incredible year of personal growth and adventure. Buckle up!!!” Katie left a comment that read, “Starting off 2023 with a bang.”
Neither Katie or Nick publicly addressed whether or not they were ever in a relationship.
What Happened Between Katie Thurston and John Hersey?
According to Katie, their breakup was “unavoidable.” The ABC alum revealed that she and John had broken up “twice” before ultimately calling it quits.
“I thought we were golden,” Katie shared during an August 2022 appearance on Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s “Off the Vine” podcast, revealing they got back together after splitting the first time. But then, John “dumped her.”
While the breakup was tough at first, Katie shared that she’s “in such a good place to talk about” the breakup. She added, “If you asked me the week of I would have just cried and never stopped.” But it seems like she’s moving on.
