A Romantic Proposal in Europe
Reality television personality Jason Tartick, known for his time on The Bachelorette, has officially taken a major step in his personal life. The 37-year-old star announced on Monday, July 13, that he has proposed to his girlfriend, Kathryn Hurley. The engagement comes less than twelve months after the couple confirmed their relationship to the public.
Sharing the joyous news on Instagram, the pair posted a series of images capturing the moment Tartick got down on one knee during their summer travels through Europe. The post was accompanied by the caption: «Right where we belong 💍.»
Support from Bachelor Nation
The announcement was met with an outpouring of support from fellow figures within the Bachelor franchise. Among those congratulating the couple was Blake Horstmann, whose own wedding in Croatia earlier this summer appears to have served as the catalyst for the couple's European getaway. Throughout the season, the pair documented their travels across Croatia, Italy, and France.
Other notable stars also shared their well-wishes:
- Chris Bukowski expressed his excitement, noting: «Let’s gooo! So happy for the both of you and here’s to many more chicken tenders pool side. ❤️.»
- Molly Mesnick, a veteran of the franchise, shared her enthusiasm for their union: «If there was a rightest of the most right things … this is it. You two are SO RIGHT for each other! Congrats!!!»
The Journey of the Couple
The engagement marks a significant milestone in a relationship that began just eight months after it was first confirmed in November 2025. The two initially connected through the organization Wags & Walks Nashville, where Tartick had adopted his golden retriever, Teddy, earlier that same year. Hurley, who founded the organization, shares a deep affinity for animals with the reality star.
By December 2025, Tartick made the relationship official by sharing a tribute for Hurley’s birthday. Earlier this spring, during his Trading Secrets podcast, Tartick expressed a profound sense of clarity regarding his future with her. «Everything in my life is so clear,» he remarked. «I look into 2026, what I see is I see light. I see bliss. I see happiness.»
When discussing the possibility of committing to a long-term partner, Tartick emphasized his belief that he had found his match in Hurley, stating: «I feel very confident that I found that. I would give it all up right now.»
A New Chapter
This engagement follows Tartick’s previous relationship with former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe. The two had been engaged before announcing their separation in August 2023 after four years together.
