Kaitlyn Bristowe Reveals ONE THING Jason Tartick Said That Still Bothers Her Years Later
Kaitlyn Bristowe isn’t holding back when it comes to her ex-fiancé Jason Tartick.
The former Bachelorette star recently made headlines after poking fun at Jason’s dating history, pointing out that the women he’s has been romantically linked to all seem to share remarkably similar names. During an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Kaitlyn joked that Jason has gone “from Kaitlyn to Kat to Kathryn,” before adding with a laugh, “You’ve got to pick the nice one.”
While the remark was delivered with humour, many fans saw it as yet another public jab aimed at her former fiancé.
Kaitlyn Weighs In on Jason’s Love Life

Jason and Kaitlyn ended their engagement in 2023 after more than four years together. Since then, Jason has dated influencer Kat Stickler and is now engaged to Kathryn Hurley.
Surprisingly, Kaitlyn had nothing but kind words for both women.
Speaking about Kat Stickler, Kaitlyn admitted she had been a longtime fan before Kat started dating Jason.
“I’ve always loved Kat,” she shared, revealing she eventually had to unfollow her because seeing the couple’s frequent social media posts became difficult after the breakup. She also said she and Kat have never discussed their shared ex, joking that Kat would probably only tell her things she already knew.
When it came to Kathryn Hurley, Kaitlyn was equally complimentary.
“She seems lovely,” she said, praising Kathryn’s work with Nashville-based dog rescue organisation Wags & Walks Rescue and calling her “an angel.”
The Real Issue Still Bothers Her
Kaitlyn Bristowe Says Jason Tartick Told Her One Thing About Nashville, Then Did the Exact Opposite

Kaitlyn Bristowe is opening up about the one issue involving ex-fiancé Jason Tartick that she admits she still hasn’t been able to shake.
While appearing on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the former Bachelorette star explained that she’s fully moved on from their relationship—but one conversation from their time together continues to bother her.
According to Kaitlyn, Jason repeatedly told her that living in Nashville wasn’t beneficial for his career or finances. She said he made it clear that staying in the city didn’t make sense for him professionally.
That’s why she was caught off guard when, following their 2023 split, Jason chose to remain in Nashville.
“I am, of course, over the relationship in every different way,” Kaitlyn said. “What I still hold on to… is that it’s this person that told me a certain thing.”
Although she didn’t accuse Jason of doing anything wrong, Kaitlyn admitted the contradiction has been difficult to ignore. From her perspective, the decision to stay in Nashville seemed to conflict with what he had told her throughout their relationship.
Her comments quickly sparked discussion among Bachelor Nation fans, with many wondering whether Jason’s feelings about the city changed after the breakup or whether there were other factors behind his decision.
Jason has not publicly responded to Kaitlyn’s remarks. He is now engaged to Kathryn Hurley and continues to live in Nashville, while Kaitlyn has focused on her podcast, business ventures, and keeping her current relationship largely out of the public eye.
Even years after their split, it appears that one conversation about Nashville remains the lingering chapter Kaitlyn simply can’t forget.
Protecting Her Own Relationship

While Jason has publicly moved forward with Kathryn, Kaitlyn has been romantically linked to former Bachelorette contestant Zac Clark, though neither has officially confirmed their relationship.
She explained that keeping her love life private is intentional and stems from lessons learned after having two highly public relationships.
“It’s been so sweet,” Kaitlyn said, adding that she wants to protect the peace she’s found rather than put every aspect of her personal life on display.
Although Kaitlyn’s latest comments were largely playful, they once again put her post-breakup dynamic with Jason Tartick in the spotlight. Between the jokes about his dating history, her candid reflections on Nashville, and her insistence that she’s moved on, fans continue to dissect every remark the former Bachelor Nation couple makes about one another.
