Last year they ended their engagement after four years together.
But that doesn’t mean Kaitlyn Bristowe can’t be in the same room as her ex Jason Tartick.
The duo both happened to be on the red carpet at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, but Kailtyn, 39, was able to shake off the clash as she spoke to E!
A video posted by the outlet to their Instagram showed Jason, 35, on the red carpet while Kaitlyn stood just a few feet away, waiting for her moment in the spotlight.
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s weird at all,” she said of seeing her ex Jason, 35, around. ‘A year ago I would have done that too, but it’s been a minute. And at this point in my life I think, ‘I just want everyone to be happy.’
Kaitlyn Bristowe revealed what it felt like to see her ex Jason Tartick at the People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday
“I’m in a good place and I’m like, yeah. I waved. It’s all good. I feel like other people care more than I do.”
“This isn’t the first time we’ve been in the same room.” So it’s not really strange. Maybe, like six months ago, my heart would have been in my ass. But it’s chilly,” she added.
Kaitlyn absolutely dazzled on the red carpet in a stunning sheer crop top and skirt that fit her like a glove.
She showed off her gym-honed abs – and her black underwear – as she posed up a storm in the eye-catching look.
Jason was also smartly dressed in an all-black outfit, teamed with a burgundy blazer and suede ankle boots.
He added a country touch and finished the look with a rustic metal belt buckle.
Both rose to fame on The Bachelor franchise and eventually found love with each other off-camera before getting engaged in 2021.
However, the relationship was not meant to be this way; last year they stopped doing it.
Jason has since moved on with YouTube star Kat Stickler and confirmed their relationship last April after months of speculation.
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn has fueled dating rumors with Zac Clark, another Bachelorette vet who was previously engaged to Tayshia Adams.

Tartick and Bristowe were together from 2021 to 2023
Last month, Kaitlyn revealed that she held a “funeral service” and “fake funeral” following her 2023 divorce from Jason.
The former Bachelorette star made the revelation while speaking to Amanda Hirsch during the latest episode of her Off The Vine podcast.
‘[I had a] small funeral service – like a fake funeral,” she spilled, adding, “I did it alone. I haven’t buried anything. It was all mental.”
She explained, “It’s more of a visual exercise and it’s to say goodbye and kind of be at peace with it. It changes something in the old brain. It really does something in your brain.’
The former Bachelorette star confessed that the mock funeral didn’t completely get her over the relationship, but she said it was helpful.
