Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick from The Bachelorette have been making fans wonder if they are still together. Kaitlyn returns to The Bachelorette season 11 after participating in The Bachelor season 19 with Chris Soules. She eventually chose Shawn Booth; however, they split up in 2018.
Kaitlyn and Jason began dating the next year when he proposed to her during an episode of her podcast, Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe. Jason previously appeared on Season 14 of The Bachelorette alongside Becca Kufrin.
Jason and Kaitlyn got engaged in 2021 and have been planning their wedding in Nashville ever since. However, according to a post on their social media, Kaitlyn and Jason's relationship appears to be over.
Are Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick Still Together?
After all the breakups fans have already been through in 2023, Kaitlyn and Jason caused yet another sadness on August 6, 2023. The 35-year-old reality TV star and the 31-year-old banker, author, business owner, and speaker have broken off their engagement after dating for 4 years. An emotional note about their breakup was written in an Instagram post that the couple shared.
“It breaks our hearts to say that we have decided to end our engagement. We told our families and close friends first and gave ourselves time to properly process the news.”
They made it clear that they would stay friends and continue to care for their dogs, Ramen and Pinot, together as brothers.
Kaitlyn is very sad about the breakup. She announced in a series of Instagram stories that she would be taking a break from social media to heal. She posted a selfie without makeup with the text “See you soon, bye for now,” and it looked like she was crying in it. In her next story, she wrote,
“We'd love it if everyone could say a prayer for both of our hearts. I know social media can be bad, so I'm taking a break.

One of Jason Tartick's Instagram stories had a bunch of pictures of the two of them together. In the next post, he thanked his ex-girlfriend for her “support and love over the years” and wrote, “I will forever be grateful for this beautiful person that was brought into my life.” He also told his students to be kind to them as they go on their healing paths.
There have been reports that the couple has been splitting up for a long time. The last time Tartick was seen on Bristowe's Instagram feed was July 6, and the last time the former Bachelorette was seen on her ex-partner's feed was June 19. Fans are very sad about the news, but it looks like the Bachelor power couple has broken up for good.
When Did Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick Start Dating?
Kaitlyn appeared to have found The One when she accepted Shawn Booth's proposal on season 11 of The Bachelorette in 2015. While she was madly in love with him, he seemed to be dragging his feet on a real marriage three years later, and they split up in November 2018.
Naturally, when she went public with Jason two months later, in January 2019, she received some opposition, primarily from her ex, Shawn.
Soon after, Jason and Kaitlyn appeared on the Today show, saying that they only began dating about a month after their divorce and that the relationship developed organically over time. “We were friends after meeting on her “Off the Vine” podcast,” she says. “A little banter here and there turned into friendship, which turned into a relationship,” Jason explained.
After overcoming adversity together, the bond only grew stronger. Kaitlyn stated her plans to relocate to Nashville with the former corporate banker in May 2019.
