In early September, Thurston posted a picture with Hersey captioning it, “Internet rumors lead me to this guy becoming a dear dear friend.†Hersey also posted a video to the gram, before the relationship became official, featuring Thurston and other Bachelor Nation alumni, proving himself to be the Instagram boyfriend of her dreams.
Thurston announced her break-up with ex-fiance Blake Moynes on October 25, citing that they are “not compatible as life partners.†Cue Olivia Rodrigo’s “traitor†on repeat. Moynes showed up as the surprise suitor in Thurston’s season only to be second place to acting student Greg Grippo, until he quit.
