Jason Tartick is officially off the market. The 37-year-old former Bachelorette star announced his engagement to Kathryn Hurley on Monday, July 13, wrapping a whirlwind European vacation with a diamond ring.
Tartick popped the question during a summer getaway that included stops across Croatia, Italy, and France. He confirmed the news to fans on Instagram, sharing a series of proposal photos accompanied by a simple caption: “Right where we belong 💍”.
The relationship timeline here moved quickly. It has been just seven months since the couple hard-launched their status on social media in December 2025. But their origin story actually traces back to an animal rescue. The two initially crossed paths when Tartick adopted his golden retriever, Teddy, through Wags & Walks Nashville. Hurley is the founder and executive director of that specific rescue organization.
Bachelor Nation did not hold back in the comments section. Fellow franchise alumni immediately flooded the announcement with public support. Blake Horstmann chimed in with, “Yassss! Congrats you 2!!! Hard secret to keep love yall!!!,” while Chris Bukowski added, “Let’s gooo! So happy for the both of you…” Molly Mesnick also sent her congratulations, according to a US Magazine report detailing the exact engagement announcement date and the alumni reactions.
This marks a completely new chapter for Tartick. Longtime fans will remember his previous, highly publicized engagement to former Bachelorette lead Kaitlyn Bristowe. That four-year relationship ended when the pair officially announced their split in August 2023.
The Verdict
The reality television dating world rarely produces a smooth, drama-free love story, but Tartick and Hurley successfully built a relationship entirely off-camera through a shared interest in dog rescue. Fans of the franchise should absolutely celebrate this genuine match as a refreshing success story orbiting Bachelor Nation.
