Kaitlyn Bristowe<\/b><\/a> seemingly threw shade at ex <\/span>Nick Viall<\/b><\/a> after he made a dig at her comments that she felt \u201casexual.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAloha to everyone except for people who make fun of my sexuality for likes. Having a libido expert on the pod soon. DM the podcast page for questions,\u201d Kaitlyn, 38, wrote alongside two photos of her posing in a black swimsuit via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, February 15. The snapshots were taken as she enjoyed a vacation in Maui, Hawaii.<\/p>\n She shared the post just one week after admitting that her sex drive was \u201cgone\u201d at the end of her relationships during the February 6 episode of her \u201cOff the Vine\u201d podcast<\/span><\/a>. While she didn\u2019t directly name any of her exes, many fans speculated that the comment was about her ex-fianc\u00e9 <\/span>Jason Tartick<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought I was asexual. I literally thought I was asexual<\/a>,\u201d the Bachelorette<\/em> alum told guest Stassi Shroeder<\/strong> at the time. \u201cI was like, \u2018I think at this point I could see myself more with a woman\u2019 \u2014 I actually thought that \u2014 than a man. I get it. Like, I think women are hot. I could do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Nick, 43, then inserted himself into the situation<\/span><\/a> by leaving a suspicious comment on one of Jason\u2019s Instagram posts two days after the podcast episode was released. Jason, 35, <\/span>shared a shirtless photo<\/span><\/a> of himself and fellow Bachelor Nation alum Tyler Cameron<\/strong>, which prompted Nick to comment, \u201cNothing asexual about this.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly after the \u201cViall Files\u201d host made the remark, Jason was asked his thoughts on the matter while talking to Page Six<\/em><\/a>. \u201cNick\u2019s a friend. I love Nick,\u201d he told the outlet in an interview published on Wednesday, February 14, seemingly dodging the question. \u201cI think what Nick is doing with his podcast is unreal and, you know what? I like Nick. Nick\u2019s a good guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Nick and Kaitlyn first met when she was the star of The Bachelorette<\/em> during season 11 in 2015. He came in second place, while she ended the season engaged to Shawn Booth<\/strong>. The pair split in 2018, and Kaitlyn moved on with Jason the following year. The couple got engaged in 2021, though shocked fans when they announced their split<\/a> in August 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter sharing the news with family and close friends first, and taking the time to properly process it ourselves, we are saddened with heavy hearts to share that we have decided to end our engagement,\u201d Kaitlyn and Jason wrote in a joint statement<\/a> via Instagram at the time. \u201cWe are thankful for all of you who gave us the time and space to process this life altering decision as there are many emotions and changes to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n Now that he\u2019s single, fans have expressed their interest in having Jason star as the next Bachelor. However, the Buffalo, New York, native admitted he doesn\u2019t see himself taking on the leading role<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI <\/span>think I\u2019m probably too old,\u201d he said during the January 15 episode of his \u201c<\/span>Trading Secrets<\/span><\/a>\u201d podcast. \u201cI think, you know, 35 for a Bachelor is kind of old.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
