Katie Thurston’s BF John Hersey Posts Humorous Jab About Bachelorette Exit

John Hersey, a contestant from The Bachelorette season 17, teased his girlfriend, Katie Thurston, about his exit on the reality series. Even though Katie may be happy and currently in love, she certainly had a difficult journey during her time as the lead of The Bachelorette. With her previous engagement to Blake Moynes and her conflicted feelings about Greg Grippo, Katie has faced hard decisions and tragic losses when it comes to love. Confident and fierce throughout the process, Katie has tested the waters with a number of relationships, certain she will find the man of her dreams.

Katie and Blake may have ended their engagement, but Katie has still managed to make a romantic connection through her connections to The Bachelorette. John, who was sent home early on in the season (two weeks in, to be exact), has now formed a strong, genuine connection with the former bachelorette. With constant adventures and adorable photographed moments on social media, the two appear to be going strong in their love journey.

After Katie’s post about the couple on Instagram in which both the two were photographed while embracing one another, John commented with a snarky remark about Katy kicking him off the series. With a sweet relationship with Bachelorette contestant John, the two appear comfortable embracing their silly (and sassy) sides with one another. After posting, “A year ago I’d never believe I would be right here in these moments with you,” John responded with, “That’s because you just sent me home.” Now able to joke about leaving the series, with Katie overlooking her connection with him, the two now bond over their missed connection during filming for The Bachelorette. An unlikely couple due to the circumstances, Katie and John have managed to overcome their history and make the most of their newfound love after the season’s conclusion.

With over 20,000 likes, John’s comment sparked positive reactions from fans, with many applauding his witty sense of humor and fun banter with Katie. In light of recent drama regarding Clayton Echard’s explosive season, Katie and John help to bring a dash of levity to Bachelor Nation, reminding the cast and fans of the powerful connection ignited by the reality dating series. Dating since November, ranking in at nearly five months, Katie seems to have finally found her perfect match, discovering both love and humor with John. With fans rooting them on in the comments on social media, Katie and John are a couple that fans will be watching closely as their relationship progresses.

Katie has come a long way since first appearing within the franchise, shifting the narratives surrounding her love life. Even in her own season of The Bachelorette, Katie faced harsh criticisms for fading into the background. Now she has an increasing fan base, receiving thousands of positive comments and over 100,000 likes on her post. Redeemed in the eyes of fans and Bachelor Nation, Katie and John’s relationship has been well-received by fans who are supporting their romance and apparent comfortability with one another over a short period of time.
