New couple alert? Bachelorette star was just spotted with TikToker at a restaurant in Tampa

Attention, Bachelor Nation: A former contestant is leaving the franchise — in Florida.

Jason Tartick, a contestant on Becca Kufrin’s season of “The Bachelorette,” was photographed having dinner in Tampa with TikToker Kat Stickler on Monday, TMZ first reported.

The two were joined by the influencer’s 4-year-old daughter at the Meat Market. An eyewitness told the outlet that the couple were “affectionate” with each other.

Did Tartick break free from the ABC dating show? Because the New York native’s bond was strong. In August 2023, after four years together, he ended his engagement to former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe.

“My relationship with Jason was definitely not what I expected,” said Bristowe, who had just split from her favorite character on the show, Shawn Booth. “When I met him, I wasn’t even interested in dating anyone, especially someone from the Bachelor world, but… I thought, ‘Whoever he’s dating is a lucky girl.'”

That lucky girl is apparently 29-year-old Stickler, who was born in Miami.

Although the single mother and the banker were spotted together in advertisements, they kept their budding relationship pretty secret.

We can’t say we blame Tartick because of his reality TV background.

“Even when I think about the idea of ​​being open about my dating life, having a public breakup like that makes me think, ‘Oh, that scares me,'” the 35-year-old admitted on a recent podcast with People this confirmed that he and Stickler were a couple.

Pretty. But now there is only the thorny issue of geography. Tartick reportedly still lives in Nashville, where he shares two dogs with Bristowe. And Stickler is raising her daughter with her ex Mike Stickler — her former co-host of the HGTV podcast “Obsessed” — in the Sunshine State.
