Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston’s ex steps out with new girlfriend over the holidays. See why fans think he has a type.
Katie Thurston Makes Unexpected Career Change
When Katie Thurston appeared on Season 25 of The Bachelor, her career was listed as a bank marketing manager. Since that time, she’s left the boring banking world behind and embraced reality TV.
After striking out with Matt James, Katie was named the lead of Bachelorette Season 17. She ended the season engaged to Blake Moynes, but they broke up six months later.
Less than a month later, she hard launched her relationship with former Season 17 contestant John Hersey, but their relationship didn’t last long.
Blake Moynes returned to the Bachelor franchise on Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise. Katie Thurston’s unexpected cameo on the beach torpedoed his relationship with Jess Girod. Bachelor Nation fans are shipping a Blake and Rachel Recchia relationship.
At the same time as her brief appearance on BIP, Katie was on the CW show FBoy Island. She left that show in a relationship with Vince Xu.
Amid all the upheaval in her life, Katie Thurston made a huge career change. Viewers got a glimpse of it when was on Bachelor In Paradise, where she hosted a roast.
Katie is now an aspiring comedian. She posted a photo on her Instagram over the weekend of her with fellow comics at the Laugh Factory.

Bachelorette Star’s Ex Steps Out With New Girlfriend
At least one of Katie Thurston’s exes seemingly had a great holiday as well. John Hersey shared photos on his Instagram Story of him getting cozy with a mystery woman.
The brunette beauty looks chic in jeans and a black top. In one photo, they pose next to each other, and she has his hand on his chest.
He didn’t tag anyone in the photo, but he did tag the location at “Market Street at DC Ranch,” which is in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to share their thoughts on the hard launch. Many agreed that John Hersey has a type. Check out some of the comments:
- Funny how people literally have a type. Happy for him but she is like a doppelganger of Katie.
- he definitely has a type. this girl looks so much like Katie
- He definitely has a type! Hope they’re happy
But there were some who defended John Hersey’s new love interest.
- I have a hard time telling brunette women I don’t know apart, but I even so can see that this women and Katie Thurston have completely different facial features, body proportions and hair styling.
- Honestly, Katie’s been publicly connected to several dudes since her and John ended (the guy from The Circle, Simu Liu (allegedly), the guy she got with from FBoy Island, the guy she didn’t get with from FBoy Island that people are shipping her with now, the baiting with Blake during BIP). Like, get it girl, but also, let John have his little hard launch people, lol.
Why Did Their Relationship End?
John Hersey and Katie Thurston broke up in 2022. One Bachelor Nation fan couldn’t recall the reason for the split, but another fan jogged their memory.
- From what I understand he seemed to want a certain type of girl and she tried to be that girl but she just wasn’t. She explained on a podcast that she really pushed herself out of her comfort zone for him with the skydiving and the sleeping in the van etc but it never felt like enough.
Another fan misunderstood entirely and thought another alum was launching a new relationship. “I quickly read it as John Henry and I was like d*mn that was fast!”
John Henry just split from Kat earlier this month.
