The Bachelorette alum Jason Tartick made his relationship with his new girlfriend, Kathryn Hurley, Instagram official on Friday, December 12.
Tartick, 37, shared several photos with Hurley in honor of her 34th birthday.
“From the dogs you save every day to the people whose lives you change, you make everything around you more beautiful,” he captioned the post. “Happy Birthday Kathryn!”
Us Weekly exclusively reported on November 15 that Tartick and Hurley had started dating after he adopted his dog Teddy from her nonprofit rescue center, Wags & Walks Nashville, earlier this year.

The news came three days after the couple sparked romance rumors when they were photographed looking cozy at the opening of Craig’s in Nashville.
Hurley amicably separated from her ex-husband, musician Rajiv Dhall, in April after nearly five years of marriage. They have since finalized their divorce.
In July, Tartick opened up to Us about getting his golden retriever mix from Wags & Walks Nashville, which Hurley founded in 2019, while also speaking about his love life.
“I think my next girlfriend’s gotta love dogs,” he teased at the time. “[She] has to be a fan of Teddy and the idea of rescuing. That’s so important.”
Tartick went on to say he is “very private” about his relationships, adding, “Dating in 2025 has been a wild and interesting ride.” He did, however, share that he was looking for a “teammate” in life.
“Some of the things for me that are nonnegotiable are support, loyalty, honesty through words and actions, consistency with care and respect, and also someone that just wants to just enjoy every aspect of life,” he explained. “I look up to my parents, but my parents have been married for over 40 years. And, of course, through the 40 years, there’s always challenges. And to watch them overcome every challenge over these 40 years and continue to just truly fall more in love every day is, like, one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen. And they just always have each other’s back. I think that consistency and that teamwork are the dream for me.”
Tartick is best known for competing on season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin in 2018. He finished in third place behind runner-up Blake Horstmann and winner Garrett Yrigoyen.
The following year, Tartick began dating season 11 Bachelorette lead Kaitlyn Bristowe. They got engaged in 2021 but split in 2023.

In April, Bristowe, 40, publicly called out Tartick for naming his dog Teddy, which she wanted to call her baby one day.
“I said the day I met him, ‘I want to name my baby Teddy,'” she claimed on her “Off the Vine” podcast before telling listeners that she was “not fully angry” but “really grossed out and disappointed” in her ex.
After his breakup from Bristowe, Tartick briefly dated social media influencer Kat Stickler — who has since been linked to John Mayer — last year.
