Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleThe Bachelorette's Jason Tartick is officially off the market after getting engaged to his ladylove, Kathryn Hurley. It is his second time entering the fiancé phase after the last one with fellow Bachelor Nation star, Kaitlyn Bristowe, ended in heartbreak. Jason, who seems deeply in love with Kathryn, put a ring on her finger just seven months after publicly confirming their relationship. Amid their whirlwind romance, here's everything we know about the woman who stole Jason's heart.
Who is Jason Tartick's fiancé, Kathryn Hurley?
Kathryn Hurley is an animal welfare advocate and the founder and executive director of Wags & Walks Rescue Nashville, a prominent non-profit dog rescue organization. She is currently leading the headlines due to her engagement to The Bachelorette alum Jason Tartick. Kathryn grew up in a household that adored dogs and later got four furry friends of her own, whom she occasionally takes on hikes. She began her career in the animal welfare sector because of her love for animals.
Kathryn's beau, Jason appreciates her philanthropic ventures and is supportive towards the cause. She first interned and then landed her first job in Michigan. She then shifted to LA, where she came across an animal rescue organization, Wags & Walks. After working with them for four years, she founded the organization's Nashville, Tennessee branch, expanding it from a small operation into a full-scale center with over 40 employees.
The objective of the entity is to reduce canine euthanasia rates, rescue injured dogs, and educate the public about misconceptions surrounding certain dog breeds, such as Pit Bulls.
All about Kathryn Hurley and Jason Tartick's romantic engagement and relationship timeline
Jason Tartick and his girlfriend (now fiancée), Kathryn Hurley, are officially engaged. The couple shared the happy news with the world on July 13, 2026, through a joint Instagram post. He proposed to her during their European vacation when they were out sightseeing. In the pictures, Jason was seen surprising Kathryn by going down on one knee with a diamond ring in hand. The beautiful moment featured a breathtaking background of water and mountains. Sharing the photos from the day, they captioned it as:
"Right where we belong [ring emoji]."
Jason's unexpected proposal shocked Kathryn at first and then made her tear up. In a sweet gesture, she also went down on her knees as she accepted the ring from Jason, and then the duo locked lips. They then enjoyed a private boat ride, drinking champagne and packing on PDA. The engagement marks a major milestone in the couple's whirlwind romance, which started when they crossed paths in early 2025.
At that time, Jason Tartick adopted his Golden Retriever, Teddy, from Kathryn Hurley's Wags & Walks Rescue Nashville. The duo quietly began dating in late 2025 and went Instagram official on December 12, 2025, when he posted a sweet tribute for her 34th birthday. He praised her dog-rescue venture and said that her presence makes everything seem beautiful. Sharing a carousel of romantic photos, Jason captioned it as:
"From the dogs you save every day to the people whose lives you change, you make everything around you more beautiful. Happy Birthday Kathryn!"
Jason and Kathryn's relationship progressed quickly, and by early 2026, they had moved into their "dream home" together in Nashville. In March 2026, he opened up about his relationship with Kathryn on the Trading Secrets podcast, sharing that he envisions a future with her. He mentioned wanting to get married and start a family with her. Now, in July 2026, they have already taken a step towards that goal by getting engaged.
Congratulations to Kathryn Hurley and Jason Tartick!
