Jason Tartick Says Kat Stickler Ended Relationship – ‘It Was Unexpected’

Jason Tartick and TikTok influencer Kat Stickler began dating in April 2024 and made their relationship public in June 2024. After approximately six months together, they announced their amicable separation in October 2024.

He has opened up about his breakup with Kat, addressing rumors and sharing his perspective on their split.

On the latest episode of his Trading Secrets podcast, Jason candidly addressed his October 2024 breakup with Kat. The former Bachelorette star admitted that the split was “very real,” highlighting the emotional toll it took on him.

“It happened quick. It was unexpected,” he started. “And, yeah, that was really, really hard.” 

“Just before the breakup and then after, that was probably one of the hardest months of my life because it was so abrupt, and it was so unexpected,” he continued.

After stating that the reason for their split is “really no one’s business,” he addressed the rumors, saying, “But I will say, I’ve just seen every rumor out there. None of them are accurate. You put a gun to my head, I would never ever ever be disloyal to her. I have a ton of respect and care for her.”

Jason also opened up about the difficulties of navigating breakups in the public eye. He acknowledged the added pressure and scrutiny that comes with being in the spotlight, noting how challenging it can be to maintain privacy while facing widespread speculation and rumors.

“The sad thing about being in public breakups, which now I’ve been in two, is that immediately, what people wanna do is they wanna know why, and they wanna point the finger.”

“And they want to take sides and pin the people against each other. And everyone goes through breakups … And it is what it is, and breakups happen, and this is why you date,” he continued. “And if you have a sudden change of heart, she’s not to blame for that. That’s okay.”
