Jason Tartick is choosing not to comment on rumors about his love life. The Bachelor Nation celebrity, aged 35, stayed vague when questioned about his relationship status with TikTok star Kat Stickler after breaking up with former partner Kaitlyn Bristowe. "Where did you hear those rumors?" he joked during a recent episode of the "Scrubbing In With Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad" podcast.
Tartick shared that he is currently choosing to keep certain aspects of his life more private, especially after his previous high-profile relationship with Bristowe.
He mentioned that being in the public eye while dating has its ups and downs. As someone who is new to the dating scene, he decided to keep things more private for now. He expressed that he will share more details once the relationship becomes more serious.
He chose not to reveal his relationship status when questioned about being single, explaining, “I prefer to keep things private. When the time is right to share, I will come back here and discuss it.”
Tartick mentioned that he and Stickler crossed paths prior to him interviewing her for an upcoming episode of his podcast "Trading Secrets." He excitedly described her as "amazing, special, awesome, and great."
Tartick and Bristowe started dating in January 2019, following Tartick's appearance on Becca Kufrin's season 14 of The Bachelorette in 2018. This was shortly after Bristowe ended her three-year engagement with her Bachelorette season 11 winner, Shawn Booth.

Bristowe shared in June 2020 that she had chosen an engagement ring. The exes then revealed their engagement in May 2021. According to Bristowe, the moment was everything she had hoped for. She expressed to Entertainment Tonight that the words spoken by Tartick were incredibly beautiful. They had never shared such an intense moment before. Holding hands, locking eyes, and listening intently to each other, the experience was so overwhelming that Bristowe felt like she was in a daze.
The duo announced their breakup in August 2023 through a joint statement on Instagram. Tartick and Bristowe emphasized the importance of maintaining their friendship and commitment to co-parenting their dogs, Ramen and Pinot. Despite the sadness of parting ways, they expressed gratitude for ending their engagement with love and respect for each other.
