According to a confirmed report published late Tuesday morning by Us Weekly, Thurston is officially seeing 27-year-old John Hersey.

Yes, that’s the same John Hersey who competed for Katie’s love on her reality TV run on ABC earlier this year!

Thurston has been linking her former Bachelorette flames to Taylor Swift songs in her “12 Days of Messy” challenge.

On Tuesday — the final day of the nearly two-week-long endeavor — she picked Taylor’s Begin Again and dedicated it to Hersey, revealing that fans should take the lyrics as confirmation that the pair is, in fact, dating.

Hersey didn’t have a super-long run on Katie’s season of the show. Heck, she sent him home in week two! But the California native clearly made enough of an impression that Thurston wanted a re-do. And now she’s got it!

What do U make of this relationship reveal, Perezcious readers?? Are U surprised to see Hersey back in Katie’s life?! Or nah??
