\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThings got hotter in Bachelor Nation when Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick kickstarted their headline-making relationship in January 2019. The Dew Edit designer and the former banker met during an interview on Bristowe\u2019s \u201cOff the Vine\u201d podcast. They confirmed they were dating just two months after the former Bachelorette and her ex-fianc\u00e9, Shawn Booth, called [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Higgins made his Bachelor Nation debut on Bristowe\u2019s Bachelorette<\/em> <\/a>season in 2015 before becoming The Bachelor<\/em><\/a> star. They\u2019ve kept a close friendship over the years, and Bristowe went on to explain that her issue was not with Higgins specifically, but how Harrison handled questions about her ex Tartick, whom she split from in summer 2023.<\/p>\n\n![\"Why](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Ben-Higgins-Thought-Kaitlyn-Bristowe-%E2%80%98Hated-Him-For-Months-%E2%80%94-And-How-Chris-Harrison-Is-Involved-2.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

Rodriguez\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI heard Chris Harrison say, \u2018Are you surprised at how long this breakup is having a shelf life?\u2019 I\u2019m like, well, it\u2019s because we all keep talking about it,\u2019\u201d Bristowe said. \u201cI think Jason was outwardly so hurt and I was inwardly really hurting. And he was allowed to have his emotions and process that however he likes. So, if he needs to talk about it, go on podcasts, do whatever. I was, like, feeling like, OK, I hurt him. But, like, internally, I\u2019m really hurting.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Tartick and Bristowe\u2019s broken engagement, the two discussed their splits on various Bachelor Nation podcasts. The conversation has continued<\/a> nearly one year later.<\/p>\nBecause of her past \u201cdrama\u201d with Harrison, 52, Bristowe was taken aback by the podcast episode as a whole. (Bristowe and Harrison had a brief beef after he left The Bachelor<\/em> franchise hosting gig<\/a> and she took over alongside Tayshia Adams<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
