‘Riding Coattails.’ The Bachelorette’s Kaitlyn Bristowe Makes Big Claims About How Ex-Fiance Jason Tartick Handled Finances

10 years after revealing aspects of her love life on Chris Soules’ season of The Bachelor in 2015, Kaitlyn Bristowe is now disclosing details about the breakdown of her engagement to Jason Tartick. This revelation follows the conclusion of the latest season of the ABC reality dating show, and Bristowe shares some intriguing insights about how her former fiancé managed their finances.

Kaitlyn Bristowe, a well-known figure from the Bachelor franchise, didn’t discover love during her stints on The Bachelor or as The Bachelorette in Season 11. However, she met Jason Tartick, a contestant from Season 14, outside the show in 2019. The pair got engaged in 2021, but ended their relationship two years later. In her Off the Vine podcast (as reported by Page Six), Bristowe expressed feeling manipulated by Tartick during their relationship, telling her listeners that she felt “very used” by him.

Despite owning my home outright, I’d still find myself asking him at the start of each month, “Could we share expenses?” It leaves me feeling somewhat demeaned. Interestingly, our incomes were quite comparable. It seemed as though he was effortlessly surfing on financial stability, while I struggled to stay afloat.

Jason Tartick, who is a banker, discusses finance on his podcast, Trading Secrets, with members of Bachelor Nation and other famous personalities. It’s not unexpected that he handled their finances thoughtfully during their relationship. However, I can’t fathom that he’d be thrilled about these financial details being disclosed publicly now.

As a movie-goer, I must confess that Kaitlyn Bristowe didn’t mince words in her review. She openly expressed her belief that he was leveraging their high-profile relationship for professional advancement. To put it bluntly, she accused him of exploiting their connection to boost his career trajectory.

Although I believe he had affection for me, it seemed as if he was leveraging my presence or success to reach his own goals, like surfing on the crest of a wave.

Since their split in 2023, Jason Tartick was in a relationship with influencer Kat Stickler, but they parted ways last year. Recently, there have been whispers about him and reality TV personality Kelley Flanagan, who appeared on Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor.

Previously engaged to Shawn Booth following her stint on a dating show, Kaitlyn Bristowe appears to have explored romantic possibilities within the Bachelor Nation again. Since January 2024, she has been linked to Zac Clark, who was once engaged to Season 16’s Bachelorette, Tayshia Adams, until 2021. In a rather unusual turn of events, Bristowe herself conducted an on-camera interview with Adams about her split from Clark.

Nobody said Bachelor Nation wasn’t messy!

As a devoted movie buff, let me share my thoughts on the upcoming season of “Bachelor in Paradise” on ABC. While Kaitlyn Bristowe may have left us with some chaos, I’m confident we’ll witness more of that intrigue – just not from her! This time around, contestants hailing from the “Golden” spinoffs will be joining the young singles on the beach. I’m eagerly anticipating the impact of new showrunner Scott Teti and whether he’ll bring any significant changes to the format. As of now, there’s no confirmed air date, but it’s predicted that we’ll catch the premiere this summer. Can’t wait!
