Bachelorette Alum Jason Tartick Confirms Romance with Kathryn Hurley

Jason Tartick seems to have quite a few one-on-one dates in his future.

Over a year after his short relationship with Kat Stickler ended, the former Bachelorette contestant has confirmed he’s now dating Kathryn Hurley, sharing a heartfelt birthday message for her.

Jason wished Kathryn a happy birthday on Instagram, writing, ‘You make everything around you more beautiful, from the dogs you save to the lives you change!’ He posted the message on December 12th.

The reality star, who was previously engaged to Kaitlyn Bristowe before their breakup last year, announced his new relationship with a sweet message and a series of romantic photos. The pictures included a touching moment of him kissing his new girlfriend on the head, and a passionate photo of them sharing a kiss on a boat.

Kathryn seemed happy about the social media post, commenting, “I love you the most!” on the post from the Wags and Walks dog rescue organization.

Jason isn’t the only one from The Bachelor franchise making relationship news. Becca Tilley, who was on seasons 19 and 20 of the show, recently revealed she proposed to her partner, Hayley Kiyoko, in Kyoto, Japan. This happened five months after Hayley proposed to Becca in Mallorca, Spain.

“To forever & everywhere with you,” Becca wrote on Instagram Dec. 12. “(She said yes!)”

They started dating in 2018, but kept their relationship private for four years. When they finally went public, they were already confident they had a genuine connection.

In 2022, Becca shared with TopMob News that going public as a company strengthened their relationship.

Their academic success has been boosted by the incredible support from their fans. As Becca explained, “I never imagined we’d receive so much love and encouragement.”

Before The Golden Bachelor even began, Mel Owen faced some criticism. He appeared on the MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen and stated he wouldn’t choose women over 60, and preferred they didn’t have artificial hips or wigs.

Although his longtime partner, Peg Munson, is also in her sixties, their relationship is full of energy and excitement. The former NFL player described her to Glamour as being remarkably high-spirited.

Even though he didn’t kneel during his final game in November 2025, the athlete—who is also a lawyer—presented his partner with a Neil Lane diamond ring, explaining that it symbolized their dedication to each other and their willingness to work together to build a future.

You guys, I’m still reeling! Spencer Conley – remember him, the sweet one who charmed Jenn Tran on The Bachelorette? – seems to have found something really special on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10. He posted a little update with Jess Edwards (she was one of Joey Graziadei’s contestants!) hinting that they’re falling for each other – you know, that Bachelor way of saying things are getting serious but they’re not quite ready to say ‘I love you’ yet. And get this – he actually wrote on his Instagram in August 2025 that he’d ‘already won’! Seriously, I’m so happy for them!

Jess echoed the sentiment, posting on social media, “Just feeling a little excited about this guy and everything!”

They were thrilled to choose each other over the $250,000 prize, and their happiness continued when they got engaged and received an unexpected check for $190,000.

“Everything that we’ve been through,” Jess said, “has led us to this exact moment.”

Jess announced during the November 2025 After the Finale Rose special that she’d be moving to Dallas in a few weeks, following her new relationship.

Bailey Taylor Brown shared on Instagram in August 2025 that her date with Jeremy Simon was the best first date she’d ever had, following their time on the tenth season of Paradise. However, it might also be their last. Bailey, who originally competed for Grant Ellis’s affection, and Jeremy, who almost won the heart of Jenn on The Bachelorette, managed to overcome their biggest fight yet when Bailey discovered Jeremy had hesitated about letting Susie Evans go.

Their romance continued to blossom while they were in Costa Rica. Although they didn’t make it to the end of Bachelor in Paradise, they decided to keep dating after the show. They’ve even met each other’s families and are making plans to live in the same city!

In a September 2025 Instagram post, Bailey expressed how fortunate she felt to have met her partner and shared her excitement for the future.

It looks like things are still going strong between Paradise season 10 contestants Andrew Spencer, who competed for Katie Thurston’s heart, and Alexe Godin from Grant’s season. Just six days after Andrew called Alexe his “mon amour” (my love) on Instagram in August 2025, she returned the sweet sentiment, calling him “mon chéri” (my darling) in a post of her own.

Even though they picked love instead of the $250,000 prize on the BiP finale, they still received $125,000 as a parting gift.

“This is incredible,” Alexe said. “I’m leaving with money, but more importantly, I’m leaving with love.”

The show will feature Alexe’s exciting news: she’s moving to Chicago with Andrew, and they’re taking their relationship to the Windy City.

In September 2025, she shared on Instagram that she’d met someone she connected with, saying she was excited to build a life together with them.

During the “Bachelor in Paradise” finale, things got tense for Kat Izzo and Dale Moss when Sean McLaughlin claimed Kat had hidden a laptop and was secretly writing letters to an ex-boyfriend. Kat, who works as a nurse practitioner, firmly denied any contact with him while on the show.

She asked if they were still together before this happened. He replied that they were, explaining he hadn’t expected to meet anyone else.

I was so bummed to see Kat and Dale leave Paradise before the end, but honestly, I’m thrilled they found something real! It turns out they really hit it off and have been traveling all over the U.S. together since the show. They’re even making plans for the future, like moving closer to each other – it’s so sweet to see Zach’s alum and Clare’s former contestant find love!

Oh my gosh, when I saw Dale comment on Kat’s post, I melted! He wrote, ‘It was tough at times, but we navigated it together…and I wouldn’t change a thing.’ Seriously, could he be any more perfect? It just proves they’re soulmates, you know? That little comment just sealed it for me – they’re meant to be, and I’m completely obsessed with their story!

Status: Just friends—for now 

After leaving season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise, Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima (who was a finalist on Golden Bachelor) seemed to be hitting it off, even sharing a hopeful video about making future memories. However, Leslie, who once inspired musician Prince, isn’t sure she wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Gary.

She shared that she and Gary talk constantly. Appearing on Bachelor Happy Hour in August 2025, she described him as one of her closest friends, someone she turns to when she needs help. He’s a calming influence, and they consistently support each other and have each other’s backs.

Even though they live almost 2,000 miles apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about things. She explained that, for her, the most important part of any relationship, especially a romantic one, is building a strong friendship first. She wants to be with someone who is also her best friend as they get older.

Kim Buike, a frontrunner on Golden Bachelorette, has found love with Faith Martin, who received the first impression rose on Gerry Turner’s season. Though they didn’t find lasting love on season 10 of Paradise, they’ve continued their relationship. In August 2025, Faith shared a video on Instagram showing Kim enjoying a date in her hometown of Washington.

In the end, they realized they were better suited as friends than as a couple.

Faith explained in a September 2025 Instagram video that she and the other person talk about two or three times a week, even though he lives five and a half hours away. She clarified they aren’t in a romantic relationship and never were; they simply had a good connection while filming the show.

Grant initially connected with twenty-five women on The Bachelor, but ultimately chose Juliana Pasquarosa. Unfortunately, the couple ended their relationship less than three months after the proposal was shown on television.

Grant announced on Instagram on June 13th that he and Juliana have decided to break up. He explained that they both tried very hard and cared deeply for each other, but after careful consideration, they realized they weren’t compatible in the long run.

Joan Vassos, who was a contestant on The Golden Bachelor and later became the first Golden Bachelorette, is engaged! After appearing on Gerry Turner’s season and then starring in the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, she accepted a proposal from contestant Chock Chapple.

During the November 2024 finale of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan shared a message of hope, saying, “We’re proof that it’s never too late.” Moments before Chock proposed in Bora Bora, she told him, “I’ve waited for this moment, in this beautiful place, to tell you I love you. I want to spend my life with you – waking up by your side and sharing a goodnight kiss every night.”

During the finale of The Bachelorette season 21, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on The Bachelor, had found love with her final choice, Devin Strader. However, Jenn shared during the After the Final Rose special in September 2024 that Devin distanced himself from her immediately after filming ended.

Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if nothing had happened and claimed he’d never been in love. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed were suddenly gone.

Let’s talk relationships – it’s always messy, isn’t it? Well, Devin recently took to Instagram with a pretty detailed 13-minute video explaining everything from his perspective. He took responsibility for his part, which is always a good first step, and then he shared what led to the breakup – apparently, it all came to a head during a 15-minute phone call. It’s tough when things go public, but he really wanted to share his side of things.

Jenn said he ended their relationship during a phone call in August, but he insists she pressed him for answers when he was trying to tell her in person.

He said he’d been wanting to tell her face-to-face, but she pushed him to reveal it sooner than he’d planned. He felt like he had no other choice.

Jenn then met Sasha Farber while competing on Dancing With the Stars, and the two became partners both on and off the dance floor. They continued dancing together even after being eliminated from the show in October 2024, but eventually ended their relationship in 2025.

In April 2025, Gerry shared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast that he had started dating someone and things were progressing nicely.

Despite hoping for a traditional proposal, Kylee Russell accepted Aven Jones’ proposal on Bachelor in Paradise because she wanted to try and make their relationship work.

Sadly, just two days after the season finale aired in December 2023, Kylee revealed on social media that the relationship had ended due to Aven’s infidelity. Aven later apologized, admitting he had made serious mistakes and hurt Kylee deeply.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share some heartwarming news! Charity Lawson just wrapped up her season of The Bachelorette and it sounds like things couldn’t be better!

In July 2023, the couple, who are based in Texas, announced they had taken their relationship a step further by becoming roommates.

Kaity and her partner got married on May 23, 2025, in a small, intimate chapel ceremony. They had originally planned a bigger wedding, but Kaity realized it wasn’t necessary. As she shared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast in June 2025, she wanted to focus on what truly mattered: their love and connection. She felt she was getting too caught up in minor details and wanted to keep the celebration authentic to their relationship.

Honestly, what really sealed the deal for me was the venue. My aunt, who signed me up to compete for Zach’s affection, actually found the beautiful little chapel near Austin where we had the ceremony. It was just… perfect. It felt so right!

Danielle Maltby and Michael Allio, who seemed like a promising couple after meeting on Bachelor in Paradise, have broken up.

Michael explained on a podcast that while they loved each other, they weren’t compatible, and he was grieving the loss of both the relationship and the future they’d imagined together.

We believe this is the best path forward for both of us in the long run, allowing us to grow as individuals.”

I was SO thrilled when Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer worked things out! It was heartbreaking watching them struggle during Bachelor in Paradise, but they really realized how much they meant to each other.

Okay, you guys, I’m seriously losing it! Serena and Joe are married! Like, actually, officially married! I’ve been following their story since Joe got sent home on Becca’s season – poor guy, night one! – and then seeing them fall for each other on Paradise was everything. They got engaged there, and I was already planning the wedding in my head, but they couldn’t even WAIT! They snuck off to City Hall near where they live in New York in October 2022 and just… did it! Serena posted this adorable video saying “JUST MARRIED!!” and she said they’re still having a big wedding in September 2023, but honestly, who wouldn’t want to get married twice?
