Katie Thurston announces her relationship with comedian Jeff Arcuri on Instagram, sharing sweet photos and videos of the couple.
Katie Thurston is in a relationship with comedian Jeff Arcuri, as she disclosed in an Instagram post on Friday, June 14.
“Safe to say he’s making it to hometowns next week ❤️,” she wrote, alluding to the Bachelor franchise where she initially gained fame. The post included two photos: one of the couple kissing and another of them posing in a black-and-white photo booth.
Thurston, 34, also posted a video to her IG Story showing the couple kissing and posing for a photo on stage in front of a packed theater.
Thurston first appeared on season 25 of The Bachelor with Matt James, finishing in 11th place but quickly becoming a fan favorite. She later starred in season 17 of The Bachelorette, where she got engaged to Blake Moynes before they split shortly after the season ended.
She also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise and CW’s FBOY Island and is now a standup comedian like Arcuri.
Arcuri is a staple in the New York City standup scene and has gained national attention through appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. He is currently touring the northeast with his Full Beans tour, which will go international in the fall with shows scheduled in the United States and Canada.
Thurston first hinted at a new relationship in January by sharing a video on her Instagram Story of herself holding an unidentified man’s hand. She confirmed she was seeing someone during the Wednesday, May 29, episode of the “Your Mom & Dad” podcast.
“You heard it here first. [I’ve been] taken off the market,” she said, adding that she’s “happily snatched up” and “very much in that so-called honeymoon phase.”
Thurston was careful not to reveal much more, noting it was too early to say “I love you” or disclose his name, though she hinted her boyfriend was also a “public person.”
“I have this 90-day trial that I always talk about. We’re within that 90-day trial,” she explained. “I’m very confident we’re going to exceed that.”
“We’re just kinda enjoying us right now,” she continued. “I don’t know if there’s anything I hate about him. Everything’s still cute and quirky and adorable.”
After the podcast, she teased her fans by posting a photo of herself and Arcuri to her Instagram story, obscuring his face with a heart emoji. The photo was the same black-and-white one posted to her main feed on Friday.
