Daisy Kent, who was the runner-up on season 28 of The Bachelor, has reportedly found love with a new man named Thor Herbst. The couple’s romance was confirmed earlier this month, with Herbst reaching out to Kent after the show. Kent had turned down an offer to become the next Bachelorette and hinted at new developments in her love life during an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast in April, revealing that she had been on multiple dates with the same person and was happy with how things were progressing.
Thor Herbst is a professional racer for the off-road, desert racing league SCORE International. He has achieved success in his racing career, coming in first place for Trophy Truck Spec at the 2024 King Shocks Score San Felipe 250. Herbst is also part of the famous Herbst racing family, known as the “first family of desert racing in Southern Nevada.” His grandfather, Jerry Herbst, played a significant role in the family’s racing careers before passing away in 2018.
Kent and Herbst initially met in college at San Diego State University, and reconnected after Kent’s time on The Bachelor. They have been traveling together extensively, including a cabin trip in Utah, attending the Stagecoach music festival in California, and a vacation to Mexico with Kent’s family. While the couple has not featured each other on their social media accounts, it is clear that they are enjoying spending time together and exploring new places.
Thor Herbst has various hobbies outside of racing, including traveling to different countries with family and friends. His Instagram account features posts from his adventures in countries such as Switzerland, Mexico, and Greece. Despite his busy racing schedule, Herbst makes time to explore new places and create lasting memories with his loved ones. Kent’s new boyfriend seems to enjoy a well-rounded lifestyle that involves both adrenaline-fueled racing and relaxation in exotic locations.
Kent and Herbst’s relationship appears to be going well, with the couple enjoying each other’s company and embarking on exciting adventures together. While they have not made their relationship public on social media, they have been spotted traveling and attending events as a couple. Kent’s Instagram posts suggest that she is happy and content with her new relationship, and she seems to be enjoying her time with Herbst. It remains to be seen what the future holds for this new couple, but for now, they are focused on building a strong and loving relationship together.
