The Bachelor’s Katie Thurston age, Instagram, job: Everything to know about the season 25 contestant

Matt James kicks off his journey to find love as The Bachelor on January 4, 2021, at 8|7c on ABC. Will he find love with contestant Katie Thurston?

If you don’t know him, Matt James has risen to fame over the past year thanks in part to his friendship with Tyler Cameron, who was famously the runner up on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette.

As Tyler C. skyrocketed to fame, his buddy Matt came along for the ride. They live together in New York City and were a part of the Quarantine Crew on TikTok during the beginning of the pandemic. Originally cast as a suitor for Clare Crawley, ABC skipped a step and crowned Matt as The Bachelor without a minute of air time on ABC. Now let’s get to know some of his suitors.

I present to you, Katie Thurston from Renton, Washington.
