Bachelorette alums Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick arrived at the Stanley Cup Final night, but not together.
The former fiancés attended Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, on Monday, June 24, to watch the Florida Panthers take on the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL championship title battle. Despite being in the same stadium, the exes cheered for different teams and with different dates.
Tartick, 35, attended the game with content creator Kat Stickler, who KeynoteUSA confirmed he was dating in April; The couple recently made their relationship Instagram official.
Meanwhile, Bristowe, 39, sat down with fellow Bachelorette partner Zac Clark. The two have been seen together several times, although they have never confirmed if they are dating.
On Instagram on June 24, the NHL shared photos of Tartick, Stickler, Bristowe and Clark, as well as Bachelor Nation stars Peter Weber and Tyler Cameron, with the caption: “Who gets the final rose tonight? 🌹 “.
In the comments, fans were quick to point out the irony that both Tartick and Bristowe, who ended their engagement last summer, appeared in the post, with one writing, “Whoa nhl gettin messy,” and another writing, “KAITLYN AND JASON AND KAT ARE THERE? OMG, messy 😮😮😮.”
The couple broke up in August 2023 after more than four years together and two years after Tartick popped the question. In a statement on Instagram, the reality stars wrote that they were “sadly and with great regret to share that we have decided to end our engagement.”
“We are grateful 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,” the statement continued. “Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We are grateful to end our engagement with mutual love and respect. It is heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for each other will never die.”
