Bachelorette Star Katie Thurston and John Hersey Break Up: 'The Decision Was Not Made Lightly'

The couple announced Monday that they had broken up. The split comes 15 months after the pair met on The Bachelorette

Each spoke out about their breakup on their respective Instagram Stories.

"Statement: no we aren't together," Thurston, 31, simply wrote in her post.

Hersey, 28, was more verbose. "As Katie stated earlier, we are no longer dating,"he began,"The decision was not made lightly and it was obviously not an easy one to make."

The two shared much of their relationship on social media with posts, including one in January when Thurston revealed that she's the "happiest version" of herself with Hersey.

Back in March, Thurston celebrated the one year anniversary of when she and Hersey met.
