Daisy Kent, a fan-favorite from The Bachelor, is opening up about her life with boyfriend Thor Herbst following their decision to move in together. The couple, who rekindled their romance in spring 2024 after initially meeting in college, has been navigating this new chapter of their relationship. Kent shared that Herbst has discovered new aspects of her personality since they started living together. “Honestly, I’m probably the one who has more nasty habits,” Kent humorously admitted, describing herself as “messy, but clean.” She also praised Herbst’s character, highlighting his kindness, caring nature, and helpfulness towards others.
Kent, who has been open about her health journey on The Bachelor, lives with Ménière’s Disease, a condition that causes vertigo and hearing loss, and has undergone cochlear implant surgery. She reflected on the bravery it took to share her experience on national television, stating, “When I decided to get a cochlear implant, I knew how different it made me feel. So I thought I could be that light for someone else and make it more available for people to see and not feel so alone.” Her vulnerability resonated with many viewers, offering comfort and connection to those facing similar struggles.
In addition to personal updates, Kent also shared her thoughts on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, which will feature Taylor Frankie Paul as the lead. This casting marks a first for the franchise, as Paul has not previously competed on The Bachelor. Kent expressed her enthusiasm for this new direction, anticipating that it will bring a fresh dynamic to the show. “I’m really excited. I feel like it’s going to bring something new to the franchise,” she stated, adding, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is doing so well. How could they not bring one of them? I think it will be great for her. I’m excited to watch.”
