Daisy Kent, the charming contestant from season 28 of The Bachelor, has found love again with her boyfriend Thor Herbst, after initially not finding the perfect match with Joey Graziadei.
Kent and Herbst initially started dating four years ago when they met at San Diego State University. Although their romance didn’t work out the first time, they reconnected after her stint on the ABC reality show in 2024.
In April 2024, the news broke that Kent and Herbst were giving their relationship another try. A source revealed that the couple had been traveling together and were spotted at Stagecoach in Indio, California.
During a May 2024 episode of the “Scrubbing In” podcast, Kent shared that she and Herbst decided to give their relationship another shot after the show. “It wasn’t until after the show that we decided to try to give it a go, and we’re giving it a go, and it’s going good,” she explained.
Bachelor Nation fans first met Kent when she vied for Graziadei’s affections on season 28 of The Bachelor. Although she self-eliminated, Graziadei went on to propose to Kelsey Anderson.
