Seven months after the Bachelor Nation alum made his relationship with Kathryn Hurley public on Instagram, he shared the exciting news that the pair are now engaged.

In pictures from the coastal proposal shared in a joint post to Instagram July 13, Tartick, 37, got down on one knee behind an unsuspecting Hurley, who appeared completely shocked before crouching down in tears to join her fiancé.

The couple kept the caption short and sweet, writing, “Right where we belong.”

In December, Tartick—who was previously engaged to fellow Bachelor Nation alum Kaitlyn Bristowe from May 2021 to August 2023—hard-launched his romance with the dog rescue founder with a touching birthday tribute.

“From the dogs you save every day to the people whose lives you change,” he wrote on Instagram at the time, “you make everything around you more beautiful.”

Since then, the pair have traveled the world together and documented their budding romance every step of the way. And though Hurley has typically been playful with her captions while sharing pictures of herself cozying up to Tartick, a recent trip to Italy prompted her to be more reflective. 

“Each day I've scribbled little notes, saved mementos, and recorded snap shots in my brain, trying so very hard to etch each and every moment of this trip forever into my memory,” she wrote on Instagram June 17. “It's not lost on me that this is a once in a lifetime experience but sharing it with the person who makes our existence brighter, lighter, and oh so funny, well I just don't know how it could get any better.”

The 35-year-old added, “I'll either explode from happiness, or pasta, and that sounds like a pretty damn good life to me.”
