Jason Tartick and Kathryn Hurley are engaged. On Monday, July 13, 2026, the former Bachelorette contestant announced that he proposed to Hurley, sharing proposal photos through a joint Instagram post captioned "Right where we belong," as reported by Us Weekly the same day. The proposal happened during a trip to Europe, E! News confirmed in its own report.
Who confirmed the engagement?
The couple confirmed the news themselves through their joint Instagram account post on July 13, which Us Weekly reported within hours. E! News followed with its own confirmed report on July 14, describing how Tartick proposed on bended knee at a coastal spot, catching Hurley off guard before she tearfully joined him on the ground. The two outlets agree on the essentials: the proposal took place in Europe, the announcement came the same day, and the couple kept their caption to three words. That is the full extent of the confirmed record, and it is exactly the kind of announcement this publication tracks — the subjects themselves, on their own verified channel, with named outlets documenting it.
How long have Jason Tartick and Kathryn Hurley been together?
Not quite a year of public romance. Us Weekly reported that Tartick, 37, announced his engagement "less than one year after they went public" with the relationship. The couple had shared their travels across the months in between, including a June trip to Italy that E! News noted in its engagement coverage. Before this relationship, Tartick was engaged to Kaitlyn Bristowe; that earlier engagement ran from May 2021 to August 2023, a timeline E! News included in its reporting. The new engagement closes a chapter that Tartick had discussed openly on his own platforms.
What has Jason Tartick said about the relationship?
Tartick had signaled where things were heading on his own podcast. Us Weekly noted that on his show, Trading Secrets, he said "Everything in my life is so clear," adding that he was confident he had found the person he would give it all up for. Coming from the person himself, on his own recorded show, the statement is part of the confirmed record rather than interpretation. For a reality-television veteran whose past relationships played out across Bachelor Nation coverage, the choice to announce this milestone through a single joint post — no teaser campaign, no staged exclusive — marks a deliberately quiet approach, and both Us Weekly and E! News reported it in exactly those terms.
What happens next for the couple?
On the confirmed record: an engagement, announced July 13, 2026, and no announced wedding date yet. Us Weekly's report and E! News' confirmation both stop at the engagement itself, and this publication does not step past what has been stated. What is documented is the shape of the announcement — a European proposal, a joint Instagram post, two named outlets confirming within a day — and a couple who spent their first public year traveling and, by Tartick's own account on his podcast, feeling certain about each other. Further milestones will be added here as the couple or their representatives confirm them.
