Ben Higgins expressed his sadness over the recent split between former Bachelor contestants Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick on the "The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous" podcast. Despite acknowledging that it was a healthy separation, Higgins mentioned that he and cohost Ashley Iaconetti had spent time with the couple and believed they were well-suited for each other. He speculated that the sadness stemmed from the realization that despite their positive experiences together, they ultimately realized they were not compatible.

Higgins observed on Monday that there was evidently an issue that led to Bristowe and Tartick ending their relationship for good. However, it is clear that both individuals still have affection for each other.

"It is significant to me that this breakup seems to have been handled in a mature manner, as seen from the pictures they both shared of each other," the Bachelor from season 20 explained regarding their joint announcement. "They reflect on their memories and time together with admiration. Usually, that doesn't happen. If it wasn't amicable, we would have seen a statement requesting privacy and acknowledging that they are not compatible."

According to Higgins, Bristowe, who is 38 and a longtime friend of his, has gone through the Bachelorette process and now desires to become a mother, wife, and have a companion. Higgins also mentioned that Tartick is equally enthusiastic about reaching that stage of life.

"It was really heartbreaking for me to see their breakup," Higgins expressed. "They won't have the chance to experience that together, which I believe they both hoped they could."

Bristowe and Tartick, aged 34, commenced their relationship in 2019 following the separation of Bristowe and her chosen suitor, Shawn Booth, from season 11 of The Bachelorette. Two years down the line, in May 2021, Tartick presented the question of marriage.

Last month raised doubts among fans when Bristowe was seen on vacation without her engagement ring or fiancé. The couple later announced their separation in a joint statement on Sunday, August 6. They expressed gratitude for the love and respect they have for each other as they end their engagement. Although it is heartbreaking to part ways, their care and admiration for each other will always remain.

In his podcast episode, Higgins acknowledged the challenges that Bristowe and Tartick will face as they move on after spending so many years together in the public eye. Despite the difficulties, he expressed his support for both of them to find happiness.

During an episode of her podcast "Off the Vine," Bristowe shared her personal experience and the struggles of going through a breakup in the spotlight.

"I am currently going through a breakup with my former fiancé. The challenging part is that we are both well-known individuals in the public eye and we originate from the same television show. We have amassed a significant following who have been given access to our personal lives, including our relationship and home. Our daily activities have now become intertwined with our public image, almost as if it is a business endeavor."

Meanwhile, Tartick found it difficult to complete the introduction for the episode of his podcast, "Trading Secrets," which premiered on Monday, August 7th.

"I'll be concise with the intro package today," he stated, acknowledging that this was his second try. He humorously admitted that his initial attempt was less successful, teasing the possibility of fans eventually hearing his first recording after the breakup.
