Kathryn Hurley Tuned In to Jason Tartick’s Bachelorette Season

Kathryn Hurley has revealed that she watched Jason Tartick during The Bachelorette season 14 before they started dating.

“I did watch your season. I thought you were adorable. I was a big fan of you and Blake [Horstmann],” Hurley said in the episode of the “Trading Secrets” podcast aired on Monday, March 30. “I was very sad when both of you were eliminated.”

Tartick chimed in, “Wait, I have a funny story! When Blake met [Love Is Blind star] Giannina [Gibelli] on her show, which was on MTV [All Star Shore], she recognized me from our season. She said, ‘Oh, you were on Jason’s season?’ You knew Blake first, and then said, ‘I’m on Blake’s season.’ There you have it—a little switcheroo.”

Hurley remembered feeling “really sad” when former Bachelorette Becca Kufrin eliminated Tartick and Horstmann, 36, during her season that aired in 2018.

“I thought you both performed exceptionally well under pressure. When the Bachelor or Bachelorette franchise was a bit younger, many contestants acted out, but I was always impressed by you two,” Hurley said.

Us exclusively confirmed Hurley and Tartick’s romance in November 2025, after they were seen getting cozy at the opening of Craig’s in Nashville. A month later, Tartick publicly acknowledged their relationship in a birthday message for Hurley.

“From the dogs you save every day to the people whose lives you change, you make everything around you more beautiful. Happy Birthday, Kathryn!” he shared on Instagram in December 2025.

Months later, Tartick reflected on his relationship with Hurley during the March 23 episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast.

“Everything in my life is so clear,” Tartick said. “Looking into 2026, I see light. I see bliss. I see happiness. I see someone who I know will help me overcome whatever challenges arise—financial or otherwise.”

Tartick noted that Hurley contributes significantly to his confidence, stating, “As a team, we’re unstoppable. I’m not just referring to success in work or finances, but true happiness. We are committed to the things that matter, discussing conflicts, and envisioning our future.”

Tartick expressed optimism about the future, predicting he would be in “a better place” in a year.

“I envision being in a better position in life, aiming to be married, start a family, and do something beyond social media and work,” he shared about his aspirations for the coming year.
