Kaitlyn Bristowe is attempting her ideal to merely move forward. In a new social media post, The Bachelorette alum supplied a glimpse into her state of thoughts right after ex-fiancé Jason Tartick went public with his new girlfriend Kat Stickler.

It all started when a fan posted a supportive message to Kaitlyn, 38, in an “Off the Vine” podcast Facebook group.

“In light of recent news, I think today’s as good a day as ever to post something we love about our girl, KB!” the fan wrote by way of Us Weekly. “I’ll go first: You’re unapologetically yourself. You love the people (and dogs) in your circle to your full extent. You created this safe space for all of us to come vent, laugh, cry and share life’s big events with and we couldn’t thank you enough! We love you KB! Hold your head up.”

Soon right after, members left comments speculating about how Kaitlyn actually felt about Jason, 35, going Instagram official with Kat on Wednesday, June 12. The chatter left the podcast host wanting to speak out.

“Y’all are making some wild assumptions in here,” she wrote. “Thank you for the kind sentiment. It meant a lot to me.” Another user decided to weigh in asking the group to “let go of the narrative that KB is hurt/saddened by Jason’s relationship.”

“She has very clearly moved on,” the fan wrote. “And truthfully, based on some of her cryptic comments, there’s no love lost on her part.”

Kaitlyn replied, “It’s more of some held-on anger and resentment that I’m working through!!! Not hurt.”

Jason and Kaitlyn have been with each other for 4 years prior to they decided to contact off their engagement in August 2023. While Bachelor Nation has speculated that Kaitlyn is now dating Zac Clark right after the pair was spotted at several events, each parties have not publicly confirmed their status.

“Do I know they are hanging out and have [been]? Yes, but he does not give me the guts because when I have asked, he makes it awkward,” Zac’s buddy Blake Moynes shared for the duration of a March look on iHeartRadio’s “Almost Famous” podcast. “He just doesn’t want to feed and play into that. He’s all business.”
