The relationship between Jason Tartick and Kat Stickler has come to an end. Over the weekend, the 35-year-old Bachelorette alum and the 29-year-old TikTok influencer announced their breakup via social media.
In an Instagram Story, Tartick shared, “I am sad to share that Kat and I are no longer together,” as reported by Us Weekly. He expressed his deep feelings, stating, “It’s fair to say that I love hard with all my heart and fall fast. Sometimes in life that works out and other times, it doesn’t. This time it didn’t.”
Tartick reflected on the positive impact Stickler had on his life, saying, “Kat has brought me so much happiness and light; she brought out parts of me I never knew existed.
I will forever be grateful for her and, of course, [her daughter] sweet MK. This chapter closes amicably, and another opens.” He concluded by expressing his hopes for both their futures, stating, “I am also rooting for mine.”
In an Instagram Story video, Kat addressed their split, saying, “With two back-to-back hurricanes, I obviously didn’t think it was the right time to talk about my personal life.”
She confirmed the breakup, noting, “A lot of you have already guessed, and yes, Jason and I have broken up. It was amicable. It just didn’t work. I don’t want to talk about it. Just wanted to tell you.”
Kat added, “I understand that with posting a relationship online, you also have to show this side [and] the repercussion. … I just wanted to tell you guys, and it’s not love wasted. I feel like sometimes it’s so easy to think when a relationship ends that the love was wasted, but love is never wasted. That’s all I have to say.”
Their romance began in April, and they made their public debut as a couple at an F1 Grand Prix party a month later. They first crossed paths when Kat appeared on his podcast, “Trading Secrets.”
Previously, Tartick had an engagement with Kaitlyn Bristowe that ended in 2023. Stickler was married to Mike Stickler, with whom she shares a daughter named MK.
