The joyous event was complemented by additional images of them together, enjoying each other’s company while celebrating their love. The couple captioned the post with the phrase, “Right where we belong 💍,” adding to the sentiment of their shared journey.
Tartick also shared the moment on his Instagram Stories, enthusiastically declaring, “She said yes!” This expression of joy showcases the excitement that surrounds their new engagement and the warmth of their relationship.
The couple first drew attention to their romance when Tartick posted a tribute to Hurley in celebration of her birthday on 12 December. In his message, he praised her dedication to animal rescue, stating, “From the dogs you save every day to the people whose lives you change, you make everything around you more beautiful.” This heartfelt sentiment served as a precursor to their blossoming relationship.
Just days later, Hurley responded with an Instagram post of her own, featuring several images of the couple together. She described her feelings with the caption, “so happy here 🤍,” providing a glimpse into the joy they share. The festive spirit of the holidays prompted the pair to create a collaborative Instagram post, showcasing their affectionate moments—everything from laughter to intimate celebrations. Hurley encapsulated their eagerness for the future by writing, “can’t wait to do 2026 with you,” hinting at their aspirations as a couple moving forward.
As the months progressed, Tartick and Hurley decided to let followers in on more aspects of their relationship, further showcasing their bond. On Valentine’s Day, Tartick shared a poignant message, expressing how Hurley brings light to his life. He wrote, “You’ve made every single part of my life lighter and brighter. Happy Valentine’s Day my love.” Hurley’s touching response, “Love you forever and a day💕,” reflected the depth of their affection for one another.
The couple’s relationship took another significant step when Tartick announced his adoption of a dog from Hurley’s animal rescue initiative, Wags and Walks Nashville. This occasion not only showcases Tartick’s commitment to Hurley and her passions but also highlights the bond they share over their love for animals.
Sharing further milestones, Tartick discussed their decision to move in together, illustrating the evolving nature of their relationship. A video post showed how Hurley preserved the first bottle of wine Tartick gifted her, symbolising their shared experiences and plans for their future home.
Jason Tartick gained fame as a contestant on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette in 2018, where he emerged as a fan favourite, landing among the final three picks. Afterward, he entered into a high-profile relationship with Kaitlyn Bristowe, another prominent figure from Bachelor Nation. However, after four years, the couple announced their engagement had been called off in August 2023. His brief involvement with influencer Kat Stickler following this also ended in October 2024.
With the engagement now announced, the future looks very promising for Jason Tartick and Kathryn Hurley. Their journey together, marked by love, support, and shared interests, has resonated with many, and fans eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for this happy couple. Despite the pressures of public scrutiny that often accompany relationships within reality television circles, they appear to be cementing a partnership built on mutual appreciation and commitment.
