Newly Engaged Katie Thurston Says 'The Bachelorette' Changed the Way She Dated


Katie Thurston, the lead of season 17 of ‘The Bachelorette,’ learned some dating lessons from her time in the franchise

“Found me a forever kind of love and I’ll never take him for granted,” Thurston, 33, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, July 6, alongside a snap of Arcuri smiling as he looked off in the distance while sitting on a boat. She added that they both “remain humble” as celebrities, but Thurston said Arcuri is more “active and dedicated in his career path” as a comedian — which is why she’s moving to New York in 2025. As for their wedding plans, Thurston said they’re looking at venues soon and hoping for something “outdoor forest” or Pacific Northwest vibes “without the unpredictable weather.”
