Daisy Kent Details How She and BF Thor Herbst Rekindled Relationship
The Bachelor’s Daisy Kent opened up about how she and her boyfriend, Thor Herbst, found their way back to each other years after their initial romance.
“It wasn’t until after the show that we decided to try to give it a go,” Kent, 25, explained on the Monday, May 13, episode of the “Scrubbing In” podcast, adding that Herbst reached out to her. “And we’re giving it a go and it’s going good.”
Kent shared that she and Herbst dated four years ago after meeting in college at San Diego State University. She added, “We didn’t date for very long, but we were always really good friends after, and our whole college friend group is super close.”
As for who suggested calling it quits the first time around, Kent shared that it was Herbst’s decision — but she called the split “the best thing for both of us.”

“We just weren’t at a place to have a relationship, and I think at the time we were both just very college,” she said. “And just wanted to have fun.”
While Herbst is still adjusting to life in the public eye, Kent gushed that he’s been supportive of her bringing their relationship into the spotlight.
“I called him before I was coming here, I was just like, ‘I might get asked about it. Do you want me to not say anything?’ He’s like, ‘Whatever you want to share. But if you ever feel uncomfortable, just say that’s between me and him,’” she said. “So he’s very supportive of what I want to do and all of this too, but he never ever thought this would happen.”
Us Weekly broke the news in April that Kent and Herbst are dating. “They met in college at San Diego State University and reconnected after she left the show,” a source exclusively told Us. “He reached out to her first, and it’s been going really well.”
