Katie Thurston may not have found love on reality TV, but she has finally found her person in Jeff Arcuri.
In May 2024, Thurston revealed that she was “off the market” and seeing someone new.
“I’m seeing somebody. I haven’t actually said this yet,” Thurston shared during an episode of the “Your Mom & Dad” podcast at the time. “You heard it here first. [I’ve been] taken off the market.”
One month later, the Bachelorette alum made her relationship Instagram official with Arcuri.
“Safe to say he’s making it to hometowns next week ❤️,” Thurston wrote alongside a picture of the couple kissing and another of them smiling in a photo booth.
While Thurston hasn’t shared any details on how the duo met yet, Thurston has continued to gush about the comedian on social media.
“Found me a forever kind of love and I’ll never take him for granted,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in July next to a snap of Arcuri smiling as he looked in the distance while sitting on a boat.
