Katie Thurston announced on the "Your Mom & Dad" podcast that she is in a new relationship. She mentioned that she is currently dating someone, but she is not ready to reveal his name yet.

Guess what? I have some exciting news to share. I am no longer single! I am happily in a relationship and enjoying every moment of it. My friends even say they love my new partner.

I have to admit, I may have accidentally told my partner that I love him while I was drunk. But hey, who hasn't had a slip-up like that before?

Thurston quickly admitted her mistake by saying, "My bad," but she also expressed that she believes he is the best.

The Bachelor Nation celebrity mentioned that it might be too soon to say "I love you" or reveal his identity publicly.

"I always mention this 90-day trial we're in. I believe we will do even better than that," Thurston shared.

Thurston revealed that although she isn't in a hurry to make their relationship Instagram official, they have been spotted together in public. She hinted that her boyfriend is also a public figure.

Thurston did not reveal when she would reveal her new man's identity. She mentioned, "We're just enjoying our time together right now."

Despite not disclosing his name, Thurston couldn't help but praise her new man. She jokingly said, "I can't think of anything I dislike about him. Everything about him is still cute, quirky, and adorable."

Shortly after teasing her relationship on the podcast, Thurston took to her IG Stories to get fans’ “thoughts” on the episode.

“So good!” one fan messaged Thurston. “Can’t wait to hear more about your new bf + all the tea you’ll be spilling.”

Thurston responded by sharing a Polaroid picture of herself with an unknown man. In the photo, Thurston is seen kissing the man on the cheek, but his face is hidden by a heart emoji.

Earlier in January, Thurston had sparked speculation about her love life when she posted a video of herself holding hands with a mystery man on the couch. This video was part of an Instagram Story Q&A session where Thurston was giving dating tips.

"Take it easy during the first three months," she suggested to one of her followers.

Thurston is known for handling relationships in the public eye. She first appeared on season 25 of The Bachelor in 2021, where she was eliminated in week six. However, Thurston found love again when she became the lead on The Bachelorette season 17.

Thurston said yes to Blake Moynes' proposal on the season finale, but they broke up three months later. She then dated John Hersey, another contestant from her season, but they ended things in June 2022.

In 2023, Thurston appeared on The CW's FBoy Island and found love with Vince Xu. They won the show together and split the $100,000 prize money. Unfortunately, their relationship came to an end before the finale aired in December.
