In an attempt to seemingly quiet split speculation, Kaitlyn Bristowe has sparked more questions about her relationship with Jason Tartick.

The former Bachelorette, who is 38 years old, took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 1, to share some eyebrow-raising posts. This came after fans of the show flooded her and Tartick's comments sections with inquiries about whether they had broken up.

Shortly after posting a poem by Nikita Gill that focused on self-improvement, Bristowe vented her frustration via Instagram Stories. She expressed disbelief at people's audacity to expect things from her when she was still trying to process her own emotions. She urged them to have empathy and mentioned being scared by their comments and demands. She even voiced concern for their well-being.

Screenshots of the post, which is no longer available on Bristowe's social media account, were captured in her "Off the Vine" Facebook group. In a subsequent sharing, she encouraged her followers to stream her 2020 song "If I'm Being Honest" and shared its lyrics. The lyrics express the idea that being an open book does not mean revealing the entire story and admit that despite appearing tough, there are moments of vulnerability. Furthermore, they acknowledge that words can have a significant impact, particularly the ones we say to ourselves.

Bristowe has received numerous fan inquiries regarding her relationship status with Tartick, 34, after parting ways with her engagement ring while on a solo vacation last month. Adding to the speculation, she recently shared a tearful selfie accompanied by a message reassuring others that their struggles are not unique.

Tartick's social media followers are similarly curious about his situation as he embarked on a family trip around the same time.

While Bristowe and Tartick have both returned to Nashville, where they currently reside, the conversation was sparked on Tuesday when he recorded an apparent solo outing with their two dogs (who were with Bristowe the previous night) upon arriving home.

After ending her engagement to Bachelorette season 11 winner Shawn Booth in 2018, Bristowe and Tartick began dating. Booth recently announced that he is going to be a father. In May 2021, Tartick proposed to Bristowe, but the couple faced challenges in moving forward with their wedding plans.

Bristowe discussed her differing tastes and styles with Jason on We's "Here for the Right Reasons" podcast in August 2022. She mentioned how frustrating it can be when she falls in love with a venue that Jason doesn't approve of. Bristowe shared her non-traditional approach and expressed her willingness to go to the courthouse, but Jason was not on board. We has contacted Bristowe's team for a comment.
