The Bachelorette's Katie Thurston Kisses New Boyfriend John Hersey on the Red Carpet

Katie Thurston and her new boyfriend John Hersey have made their first official appearance as a couple!

The 30-year-old former The Bachelorette star and the 27-year-old former contestant shared a kiss on the red carpet at Stephen Lovegrove’s First Noelle Ball on Thursday (December 2) at the Mavericks Beach Club in San Diego, Calif.

Katie posted a video of them kissing on her Instagram Stories and she captioned it, “When it’s suddenly snowing in San Diego and your whole mood changes.”

This isn’t Katie and John‘s first time on the red carpet together though. They previously posed side-by-side while attending an event a couple months ago!

John recently spoke out in response to rumors that Katie cheated on her fiance Blake Moynes at the start of their new relationship.
