However, hours later, Thurston confirmed they were no longer dating.
“That’s what everyone wants to know,” she quipped in an Instagram Story Q&A about whether or not she was in a relationship.“No. That being said, if I’m ever asked to go on reality TV to date again, please just cancel me. Three times and [it] doesn’t work out? Maybe reality TV isn’t where your husband is, just a thought.”
Thurston’s reality TV career began in 2021 when she appeared on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor. After James, now 32, sent her home, she was named the next Bachelorette. During her tenure on The Bachelorette season 17, Thurston got engaged to Blake Moynes but they split three months after the season finale aired in October 2021. She moved on with John Hersey, who she eliminated during the second week of her season, before they ultimately split after less than one year together. FBoy Island was her first time dating since the breakup.
“There were so many different [reasons I signed up for this],” she exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2023. “I watched season 2 when I was invited and said, ‘OK, well let’s see what this show’s about.’ And watching it, it was so hilarious — satirical, almost — that it was just such a different experience from my Bachelor experience and I was looking for something a little more lighthearted.”
She added at the time: “Yeah, there’s a chance I fall in love, there’s a chance I win money, there’s a chance I make new girlfriends. It was just a win-win-win all the way around.”
