Bachelorette star Katie Thurston is in the middle of the fight for her life after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s always been open about her sexuality. Keep reading to find out how the cancer has affected intimacy.
Katie Thurston Built Brand On S*x Positivity
Katie Thurston made a memorable first impression on Matt James and Bachelor viewers. She was a contestant on Season 25. During her first interaction with Matt James outside the famed mansion, Katie offered him a naughty gift: her vibrator.
Since that moment, Katie Thurston hasn’t been out of the public eye. She didn’t find love with Matt James but got a second chance as The Bachelorette. Her engagement to Blake Moynes was just one of several very public breakups she’s had over the years. After their engagement ended, she briefly dated former contestant John Hersey. Katie was also on the reality show FBoy Island and dated Vince Xu after meeting on that show.
Why She’ll Be Separated From Husband Amid Cancer Battle
Katie Thurston is a happily married woman now. She eloped with comedian Jeff Arcuri last month. The spur-of-the-moment decision was sparked by a diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer in February. The former Bachelorette star went public with her relationship with Arcuri in June 2024. They were engaged a few months later.
The couple met when Katie started pursuing a career in comedy. Her husband is well-established in the industry. He put his tour on hold so he could be with her during her first cancer treatments. But now that her diagnosis has changed from a less aggressive cancer, she doesn’t need chemo. He’s headed back out on the road soon.
But she shared on Instagram that she won’t be joining him. She said that she has to stay home to take care of their dog and go to frequent doctor appointments. However, she hopes to join her husband at some points in the tour.
