It’s wonderful to be able to share the funniest events of my life with my friends and family. Those who appear to be in good spirits. A mix of hilarious and moving stories. But I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to share the sad ones with anyone. According to Katie, we are no longer together,” john Hersey wrote in an Instagram Story post on Tuesday. When making this decision, “it was clearly not an easy one to get to.”

During the Second Week of The Bachelorette Season 17

During the second week of The Bachelorette season 17, Katie Thurston sent Hersey home and instead got engaged to Blake Moines. In October 2021, just three months after the show had ended, the two broke up. During an episode of the “Talking It Out With Bachelor Nation” podcast in November 2021, Moynes, then 31 years old, alleged that Thurston emotionally cheated on him with Hersey.

At the time, he said, “I truly don’t think there was any physical cheating there.” “However, the speed at which it changed was plainly the result of emotional [cheating]. At least to some extent, I feel stupid and foolish for having allowed it to happen.”

Neither Thurston nor The Other Woman Would Acknowledge Any Similarity Between Their Romances.

“We both realized our relationship was not working out,” the former bank marketing manager told Kaitlin Bristowe of her ex-reply. fiance’s In contrast to my relationship with John, I had a completely different dynamic with Blake. Neither of them overlapped. There was just reverence between them. “It’s basically two distinct scenarios,” he says.

At the time, Hersey defended Moynes, stating that the Washington native was “capitalizing” on the broken engagement.

During the time the relationship was going apart, I observed how much work she put into it. During an appearance on the podcast “Off the Vine” in March, he said, “There started to be a narrative being constructed that she wasn’t putting any effort in, and Blake was the only one putting effort in.” I also felt as though during such ‘absences,’ she was emotionally cheating on me. … “It ticked me off,” I said.
