Moynes and Thurston, 30, called it quits at the end of October, less than three months after the finale, which featured their engagement, aired on ABC.
At the time, the former couple released a joint statement saying they simply were "not compatible as life partners." Both shared the full statement on Instagram Oct. 25, though Thurston has since deleted her post.
About a month later, Thurston announced a new relationship with John Hersey, who also appeared on her season. On Nov. 23, Thurston ended her "12 Days of Messy" Instagram series with a look into her newfound romance with Hersey.

Following the announcement, Moynes accused his ex of "emotional cheating" with Hersey. "I really don't think there was any physical cheating there, but there's clearly emotional for it to transition as quickly as it did," he said on podcast Talking it Out with Bachelor Nation.
Hersey denied the accusation and said he and Thurston were strictly platonic until she ended her relationship with Moynes.
"The boundaries of our friendship with respect to her ongoing relationship never even required addressing, because it was never a thought in our minds that we would ever be anything more. You guys- she was engaged. It is apparent that many of you misjudge how both her and I view that commitment" Hersey wrote in a public letter on Reddit.
"Neither Katie nor I would ever cheat, push someone to cheat, or be involved in cheating. It is not in our nature. It is not acceptable. It is not okay."
