The Bachelorette’s Jason Tartick cannot wait for the moment he gets to say “I do” to fiancée Kathryn Hurley.
“What we’re planning right now is — we’re going to talk more about this on the ‘Trading Secrets’ podcast, but we are planning a destination wedding, and I think the beauty of a destination wedding is you get the people that are your life’s work, the people you love the most, in one place,” Tartick, 38, exclusively told Us while attending T-Mobile’s T-Mix House in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 5. “It’s not just for a day and a night, but for a few days. We all get to know each other and love each other.”
Before meeting Hurley, 35, Tartick said he had dreams of a big wedding with more than 300 guests and “everybody I know.” At this chapter in his life, it’s a different story.
“Now, the older you get, the smaller your circle becomes,” he shared. “I’m just so excited about the fact that it’s going to be destination. It’s going to be next fall, and it’s going to be everything we dream of.”
Tartick’s love story with Hurley began when he rescued a dog from the rescue organization she founded called Wags & Walks Nashville. Things turned romantic for the pair by the end of 2025. In July, Tartick got down on one knee and proposed during a romantic trip to Italy.
“I already call her my wife. She’s already my wife,” Tartick confessed to Us. “I’ll show you my phone right now. She’s already in as Kathryn Tartick. I joke around, ‘Yeah, I’m here with my wife.’ It’s the most exciting thing in my life. It’s wild that nine years ago, I went on a reality show looking for love, and here we are at 38. It all came together. It all works out.”
Fans met Tartick on season 14 of The Bachelorette with Becca Kufrin in 2018. Since then, he has become a best-selling author and hosts the successful “Trading Secrets” podcast.
While celebrating the launch of T-Mix, T-Mobile’s new customizable wireless plans that bring together benefits across streaming, music, gaming, food delivery and more, Tartick jokingly acknowledged how far he has come since he first accepted roses on national television.
“I’m 38 years old, and I am just getting off [my] mom and dad’s plan. I’m getting on the T-Mix plan,” Tartick said. “I think the beauty about it is it’s all customizable. You can bundle all these cool things that you can choose. My fiancée loves Netflix. I love Delta. Boom! We can add those. I can get points. We can stream for free, and it’s all good stuff.”
Life is certainly good for Tartick. As he continues planning his dream wedding, the reality star can’t help but pause and acknowledge how life turned out better than he could have ever imagined.
“I could come to tears thinking about just how fortunate I feel that I have the partner I have. She’s such an amazing soul. She’s truly an angel,” he said. “I’m just in a place right now where my priorities are just so exciting. I can’t wait for what’s coming, and a wedding’s coming soon. And if we’re so lucky, kids are coming soon, and I feel it’s life’s work coming to fruition, and it just feels so beautiful.”
