Katie Thurston and John Hershey, who was a contestant on her season, have seemingly called it quits. Thurston took to her Instagram Story Monday to share the short, but definitive, statement, «No we aren't together.» Though she did not mention Hershey by name.

Thurston starred as «The Bachelorette» on season 17 of the famed dating show. Hershey was sent home during the second week of the series after Thurston declined to give him a rose.

She did, however, initially say that he “was her type.” Katie's season was filled with ups and downs, romance and heartbreak, and she concluded the season being engaged to Blake Moynes.

However, after dating long-distance when the series wrapped filming, Katie and Blake called it quits. At the time, they both released statements that read, “It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways.
