Daisy Kent is dating Thor Herbst following her exit from the Bachelor.
The couple met in college at San Diego State University and reconnected after she left the show.
As reported by Us Weekly, “He reached out to her first, and it’s been going really well.”
Daisy and Thor have “been traveling all over recently,” including going on vacation with her family in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, last month and taking a cabin trip in Utah. The pair also attended Stagecoach last week.
Daisy soft-launched her boyfriend with a story of them eating Chick-fil-A on Monday.
On the Almost Famous podcast, Daisy confirmed she’d been on several dates with the same person.
“I think I’m at such a good spot in my life, but I also think I did learn about myself a lot for the show, so no matter what right now, I’m going to put myself first. But yeah, I have gone on dates.” Daisy said adding, “I would say I’m happy right now, and it’s looking positive.”
Thor is currently employed as a management associate at Terrible Herbst, Inc, which is owned by his family. He went to San Diego State University in 2021. He is also an off-road racer who lives in Las Vegas.
“His name is Thor, he lives in Las Vegas, he is an off road racer and his family is worth nearly $20 billion. He’s her on and off again ex,” a Redditor commented.
“BTW the Herbst family is one of the MAIN families in Vegas. They’re just under the Boyds. They own half the gas stations,” another fan wrote.
Here are some other comments from the Bachelor Nation.
“A major theory pretty much all season on all the spoiler subs was that she was on the show as a ploy to get back with her millionaire ex lol.”
“Had a feeling she was never over her ex, and went on the show for followers(again they all do that) and played the game perfectly. Yet everyone ate it up lol. Never bought once she even liked Joey.”
“Can this put to rest why she didn’t want to be the bachelorette now?! It wasn’t because she was heartbroken or anything, it was because she was back with her boyfriend. She went on the show to get her followers, and now she’s back to regular scheduled programming.”
“I think Thor let her go on the show to pursue her influencer dreams. I don’t think they fully stopped dating.”
“If she had an on/off bf – would definitely explain why she seemed so chill and checked out for most of the season. Honestly I wasn’t even sure if she liked Joey until the last couple episodes lol”
Daisy Kent self eliminated during the final rose ceremony on the Bachelor.
“I first realized when we were at the last rose ceremony when Rachel left and it was me, you and Kelsey together,” She told Joey at the After the Final Rose. “And I just saw you two look at each other and I was like, woah. For the first time I was like, I don’t think it’s me, and I just remember that and then I was kinda trying to suppress my feelings and put it aside.”
Daisy has since denied that her romance was the reason why she turned down the Bachelorette.
“I can actually say 100 percent that I made on my own before I ever wanted to think about anything with anyone else because I knew I was at this point in my life where I kind of had to be selfish and make a decision for me and what was going to be best for me,” She said. “So I can say that decision definitely had nothing to do with my dating life right now.”
