‘The Bachelorette’: 4 Signs Blake Moynes and Katie Thurston Get Engaged in the Finale
Many Bachelorette fans are itching to find out whether Blake Moynes and Katie Thurston end up together. The couple had an instant connection from the very beginning, and the ABC reality series has seemingly been teasing the couple’s future for some time now. So here’s every time The Bachelorette Season 17 hinted that Blake and Katie get engaged in the finale.
Blake Moynes promised an engagement to Katie Thurston when they met in ‘The Bachelorette’ 2021
Blake has been open to an engagement with Katie the moment he met the lead in The Bachelorette Season 17. Before the contestant even joined the season, he revealed how hopeful he was about their potential relationship.
“You’re beautiful, but it’s everything else that you bring to the table,” Blake told Katie. “You check boxes that no one else has, and it just comes down to the fact that I would ‘what if’ and regret forever if I didn’t do this.”
Then The Bachelorette team showed Blake promising Katie an engagement if he made it to the end.
“I promise you, that if it came down to the end and we connect the way that I think that we might, we would be engaged at the end of this,” Blake said. “I didn’t come here to disappoint, and I won’t do that to you. That’s just not me.”
Blake Moynes and Katie Thurston said they could see their future together during their 1-on-1 date
For the most part, it seemed like Blake kept his promise to Katie. As The Bachelorette Season 17 continued, viewers saw the reality stars fall in love. During their first one-on-one date, they really started to open up to each other. Then Katie admitted she could see herself ending up with Blake.
“I don’t know. I could see myself walking away with Blake at the end of this,” she told Bachelorette producers.
Meanwhile, Blake was on the same page.
“Today could be the first date with my future wife,” he said.
Blake Moynes was the one who cheered up Katie Thurston after a hard breakup
In week 6 of The Bachelorette Season 17, Katie got emotional after breaking up with fan-favorite Connor Brennan. Then Blake showed up outside Katie’s room and serenaded her with a boombox just to cheer her up.
Now, some Bachelor Nation fans have been wondering whether Blake and Katie’s moment together will foreshadow the ending of The Bachelorette. After Hometowns, frontrunner Greg Grippo self-eliminated, leaving Katie heartbroken. So a few fans have predicted that Blake will be the one who shows up for Katie when she needs it the most.
But whether The Bachelorette theory comes true, Blake revealed that he could see Katie as his future fiancée after the Connor B. breakup. At the time, Blake said:
“It’s impossible to deny that Katie and I are going to fall in love. It’s so exciting to think it’s gonna happen soon. And so I feel like Katie’s gonna be my fiancée. With Katie I’m not going to hold back in any way. I feel like I’m in my own love story. Now, I’m just ready to enjoy my happy ending.”
Blake Moynes said he can see himself getting engaged to Katie Thurston after Hometowns
In The Bachelorette Season 17 Week 9, the ABC reality series made it clear that Blake was still serious about his future with Katie even after Hometowns. And while the contestant was hesitant to say “I love you” directly to the lead, Blake was certain Katie could become The One.
“The word ‘love’ is a scary word to use. Still, at the end of the night, the way she kissed me– if things keep going the way that they are, I see myself getting engaged to Katie,” Blake said.
For now, Bachelorette fans will have to watch how Blake and Katie’s love story ends. However, it doesn’t feel like a coincidence that the producers highlighted Blake as the only contestant who has consistently been open about getting engaged from beginning to end. Remember, they choose everything we get to see. But whatever happens next, it’s certainly been quite the ride. Stay tuned.
