Kaitlyn Bristowe on What She REALLY Thinks About Kathryn Hurley – and Her Response Is Turning Heads
Kaitlyn Bristowe is choosing kindness when it comes to her ex-fiancé Jason Tartick’s new love, Kathryn Hurley.

After Jason’s recent engagement to Hurley sparked a wave of reactions from Bachelor Nation, Bristowe addressed the relationship during a recent interview, making it clear she has no ill feelings toward the woman who is now set to marry her former fiancé.
“She seems lovely,” Bristowe said when asked about Hurley, adding that she believes Jason has found someone who makes him happy. She also praised Hurley’s work rescuing dogs through Wags & Walks Nashville, noting that it’s “pretty incredible” and something she genuinely admires.

Rather than fueling speculation or creating drama, Bristowe emphasized that Hurley has never done anything wrong to her. Instead, she said her emotions are tied to the end of her own relationship with Jason, not to the woman he has moved on with.
Bristowe explained that she has no interest in comparing herself to Hurley or placing blame on her. She acknowledged that seeing her ex move forward is naturally emotional, but stressed that Hurley deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.
Jason and Kathryn announced their engagement earlier this week after less than a year of dating, sharing romantic photos from the proposal during their European vacation. The couple first went public with their relationship in late 2025 after meeting through Hurley’s animal rescue organization.

While Bachelor Nation continues to dissect every development, Bristowe’s comments suggest there is no feud between her and Hurley. Instead, she appears to be taking the high road, offering support and acknowledging that Kathryn has been nothing but gracious.
As Jason and Kathryn prepare for their next chapter together, Bristowe is also focused on moving forward, making it clear that any lingering emotions are about healing from the past, not about the woman who is now part of Jason’s future.
