Savannah Chrisley 'knew' Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn's romance would 'end'
Savannah Chrisley had that feeling Jason Tartick and ex-fiance Kaitlyn Bristowes relationship wouldn't last.
“[Kaitlyn] came on my podcast in March and I just knew how she was talking about your relationship,” Chrisley, 26, explained to Tartick, 35, when he appeared on the Tuesday, January 30, episode of her “Unlocked“podcast. “I thought, 'This isn't going anywhere. This is going to end.'”
For his part, Tartick shared that he's heard about “many conversations” he “wasn't aware of” before their July 2023 split “that were similar” to Chrisley's analysis.
“It was like nothing had ever been done,” Chrisley continued. “It was never like, let's plan a wedding, let's do these things. I asked that and she said, 'Oh, I'm not in a hurry.'”
Things got even more heated in Bachelor Nation when Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick kicked off their headline-making relationship in January 2019. The Dew Edit designer and the former banker met during an interview on Bristowe's 'Off the Vine' podcast. They confirmed they were dating just two months after the former Bachelorette and her ex-fiance, Shawn Booth, called […]
Chrisley, who called Bristowe an “amazing” person, clarified that she has “so much respect” for the former Bachelorette but “just knew” that her and Tartick's relationship was “not that good.” [going to work].”
“Honestly, at that point, I didn't even know if you were all still together,” she added. “Just interacting on social media and things like that.”
Tartick, who agreed with Chrisley, said he also “knew” the duo wouldn't make it, but he was “in denial” at the time.
“When the breakup happened, I thought: let's do everything. Let's try to save it,” he recalled. “But at that point it was too late. And if you felt that tone in March, it was obviously long before that. And in my head I think I was kind of living in the clouds, but looking back, I should have seen it.”
Tartick added that “not getting into conflict” was his biggest “downfall” when it came to unraveling his romance with Bristowe. He explained how watching his ex 'fall out of love' forced him to focus on trying to make himself 'feel safe'.
“I know with certainty, even looking back at all the thumbs-up, the things I should have done better and been a better partner. And I will have another relationship,” he continued. “I know for a fact that she was absolutely not my person. I know for a fact that I was absolutely not her person.”
Tartick, which appeared on Becca Kufrin season of The bachelorettewas first associated with Bristowe after her broken engagement to Shawn Booth. The two of meT when Tartick appeared on Bristowe's 'Off the Vine' podcast in 2018 and they started dating a year later. The couple got engaged in May 2021, but canceled the engagement in the summer of 2023.
Although they had an amicable split at the time, the exes faced some drama earlier this month when a video from Bristowe's New Year's Eve party showed her getting cozy with Zac Clark. After fans began speculating that Bristowe and Clark were more than friends, Tartick seemed to subtly address the speculation with a social media post declaring January 2 as “the first official day of 2024.”
Bristowe later commented on the alleged shade during an episode of “From the vine“, claiming that Tartick's “victim mentality” was “disappointing” to see.
'I don't want to deny that he is in pain. I don't want to deny that his feelings are valid and that his feelings are hurtful. I spoke to him so openly and honestly. We have been so transparent with each other that we have respect for each other,” she said, noting that the pair had a great time at Chris Harrison's wedding two months earlier. “The word disappointment keeps coming back. “I'm so disappointed that someone can use a false story, such as a false narrative accusation, to gain sympathy for themselves.”

Go donate some blood or something!”
