Kaitlyn Bristowe and ex Jason Tartick attend the same NHL game with their new partners
Kaitlyn Bristowe and her ex-fiancé Jason Tartick attended the same hockey game with their new partners on Monday night.
According to photos posted by the NHL on Instagram, the former “Bachelorette” lead posed as she stood next to her rumored beau, Zac Clark, and Tartick happily posed with his girlfriend, Kat Stickler, in the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.
“Who gets the final rose tonight? 🌹 #StanleyCup,” the NHL captioned the post, which also included appearances by Bachelor Nation stars Peter Weber and Tyler Cameron.
Fans were shocked to see Bristowe, 39, and Tartick — who confirmed they called off their engagement in August 2023 — in close proximity after their breakup.
“KAITLYN AND JASON & KAT ARE THERE!? Omg messy 😮😮😮,” wrote one user.
“Are they really there rn..at the same place..there at the same time? Whoa,” added another.
“Omg Kat & Kaitlyn 😳😳😳😳,” commented a third person.
“NHL is choosing violence,” said a fourth fan.
Though the former couple shared moments from the game on their respective Instagram accounts, it’s unclear if they actually crossed paths.
Bristowe and Tartick, 35, started dating in January 2019 and got engaged in May 2021.
She and the banker, who appeared on Becca Kufrin’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2018, shocked fans when they announced their split in a joint statement after four years of dating.
“After 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,” they posted to Instagram.
“We 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.”
Eight months after the split, Tartick began dating Stickler. He and the influencer went Instagram-official in June.

Meanwhile, Bristowe blasted her ex for playing the “victim” to “garner sympathy” after their breakup.
The former “Bachelor” contestant said she and Tartick remained amicable after their split but things took a “confusing” turn in their relationship after rumors surfaced that she cheated on him with Season 16 “Bachelorette” winner Clark, 40.
“The word disappointed keeps coming up. I feel so disappointed that someone could use a false narrative to garner sympathy for themselves,” she explained on her “Off The Vine” podcast in January.
Bristowe also said she was “hurting” after Tartick went Instagram-official with Stickler.
“It’s actually hurting more than you know and for reasons other than most know,” she wrote in a private Facebook group earlier this month.
