Well, look who’s traded in the single life for a shiny new rock! Former Bachelorette contestant Jason Tartick has just announced his engagement to Kathryn Hurley, and let’s just say, the proposal details are almost too adorable to handle (almost). Jason took to Instagram—because where else would he share his latest romantic escapade?—to drop the news with a series of photos capturing the moment he popped the question during a whirlwind European getaway. How cliché, but let’s roll with it!
The big moment went down outside the Grand Hotel Victoria in Lake Como, Italy, a locale straight out of a Disney fairy tale. Apparently, they kept it all “intimate” and “private”—translation: no cameras were rolling, thank heavens. But don’t worry, they made sure to snap a thousand ring photos against that incredible backdrop because, darling, nothing screams true love like an Instagram-approved moment.
Naturally, the celebration didn’t stop there. Following the proposal, they hopped on a romantic boat ride (because what’s more original than that?), and then, in a plot twist no one saw coming, they FaceTimed their families to spill the engagement beans. But wait! The grand finale involved a heartfelt reunion with their rescue pups—one of whom Jason adopted. Cue the collective awww.
Speaking of pre-requisites, it seems Kathryn, who helms the Nashville branch of the local rescue organization, has checked all the boxes on Jason’s list of must-haves, including a love for dogs. Because apparently, that’s how love works these days: find a dog-lover, get engaged, and call it a day.
But let’s not forget—this is Jason’s second rodeo. He was previously engaged to another Bachelorette star, Kaitlyn Bristowe, but that fairy tale hit a snag in 2023. Some stories have more than one chapter, and we’re left wondering how this one will play out. Keep your eyes peeled, dear readers, as we watch this romantic dramedy unfold with the perfect sprinkle of chaos.
