Kaitlyn Bristowe Stuns In Cowgirl Attire

After ending her engagement to Jason Tartick earlier this summer, Kaitlyn Bristowe is single again. She started dating the contestant from Becca Kurfin’s season of The Bachelorette in early 2019.

Bristowe was fresh off her broken engagement to Shawn Booth when she first met Tartick in October 2018 after he appeared on her Off the Vine podcast.

After dating for two years, Jason Tartick popped the question. They were engaged for another two years before announcing their sudden split in August 2023.

Kaitlyn Bristowe recently attended former Bachelor host Chris Harrison’s wedding reception in Texas on Saturday, November 4. Bristowe leaned heavily into the theme with a cowgirl-inspired outfit.

Donning a peek-a-boo black dress and black boots, she topped the ensemble with a large hat.

Despite co-parenting their dogs Ramen and Pinot, Iaconetti said, “It had been a while since [Kaitlyn’s] seen him.”

Iaconetti elaborated, saying, “Sorry to disappoint for those who want drama, but they were so totally normal all weekend long once the initial hi was done.”
