Kaitlyn Bristowe and Zac Clark hold hands while dancing in New York
Kaitlyn Bristowe And Zac Clark people saw it getting cozy in New York City.
Bristowe, 38, enjoyed a night out with Clark, 40, on Saturday, January 21. In a shared clip via BachelorNation.Scoop's Instagram account, the duo was seen holding hands and dancing to Tiësto's 'Wasted'. At the end of the video, Bristowe wrapped her arms around Clark and pulled him in for a hug.
In previous clips shared on Saturday, the couple was seen enjoying a meal together in the West Village. She was apparently in town for Clark's 40th birthday party, which had an '80s theme.
The NYC weekend comes weeks after they rang in the new year together at her Nashville home. Images of Bristowe's group putting her arm around Clark quickly circulated on social media, sparking romance rumors — and accusations that the two may have had an affair before she called off her engagement to ex Jason Tartick.
'Your words hurt. Your shame hurts,” she wrote on January 1 via Instagram. “The bullying is next level. …Your HATE should actually have consequences. … I didn't kill anyone. I had a party with some of my favorite people. Shame. On. YOU. Not me.”
She later addressed the cheating allegations by commenting on a social media clip of her with Clark on NYE.
“Hi! Here I want to say that there was never an ounce of cheating and I cannot accept this rumor,” she wrote. “You are all filthy here. Anybody. Swear on my dog's life. There was no cheating. So we can just leave that alone. Thanks!! Happy New Year everyone. Go donate some blood or something!”
Tartcik seemingly addressed the situation with a cryptic social media post calling January 2 “the first official day of 2024.”
Bristowe called out his message during a Jan. 4 podcast episode of “Off the Vine.”
“It's really disappointing to me, the way Jason leans into the victim mentality,” she said, adding, “I don't want to deny that he's hurting. 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 respect each other.”
The Bachelor party alum continued, noting that she felt “really confused” about his reaction because she thought they were in “such a good space” since their split. “He came over the other day and I gave him a tour of the house,” she said. “I find myself like, I want to invite him, I want to show him the new house.”
What happens on The Bachelor doesn't always stay on The Bachelor! While many couples have found (or lost) love on the reality TV dating franchise over the years, others have met their match within Bachelor Nation after their season ended. Katie Thurston joined the club of off-camera Bachelor Nation couples in November 2021 […]
Bristowe and Tartick, 35, met while filming an episode for her podcast in 2018. They confirmed they were dating two months after her engagement to Shawn Booth. After dating for four years, Bristowe and Tartick shared their split via Instagram in August 2023.
Clark is now engaged Tayshia Adams during the season 16 finale of The Bachelorette. Almost a year later, they announced their split in November 2021.
