Kat Stickler confirms the break

Jason Tartick’s dating life has been extremely public for half a decade. Bachelor Nation viewers got their first look at him when he competed on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette. The investment banker put his career on hold in 2018 to find love in reality TV. He finished in third place after she sent him home before their Overnight Date. He came back to ask for a second chance, but she said no.

In late 2018, he met season 11 bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe. The two dated for four years and were engaged for two years before ending their relationship in 2023. Jason Tartick went Instagram official with his new love, Kat Stickler, in April after weeks of dating rumors.
