Is Kaitlyn from The Bachelorette still married? What did Shawn Booth say about Kaitlyn Bristowe?

Kaitlyn Bristowe is not married and has never been married. In May 2021, Bristowe and Tartick announced their engagement. Kaitlyn started dating Jason Tartick from Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette in January 2019.

Shawn Booth discussed his split from Bristowe and her relationship with Tartick in a November 2021 “Austin AF” podcast interview. In his own words:

“I guess it wasn’t [true love] because we’d still be together if it was,” he said, also calling Bristowe’s decision to pursue Tartick “disrespectful.”

“Of course, you’re thinking it’s love. But you’re put in a situation where you’re completely secluded from the world. You can’t talk to your friends, you can’t talk to your family. You can’t watch TV. You don’t have the internet.”

On the other hand, Kaitlyn Bristowe believes her ex Shawn Booth used her for clout until his gym opened. She shared her thoughts on the matter during a recent appearance on fiancé Jason Tartick’s podcast, “Trading Secrets.”

“It was, like, getting down to the end where we both just didn’t see it going anywhere,” she said. “It felt like he was hanging on until his gym opened. And that’s where I felt used professionally.”

“This is all just from my point of view and from how I felt and things that I saw. It doesn’t mean they’re right or wrong, but would you or would you not agree that when couples come off the show — whether it was a ‘Bachelor’ and the woman who picked or ‘Bachelorette and the guy she picked that’ — that is a really hard foundation to start on and a power struggle?”
