Kaitlyn Bristowe
Kaitlyn Bristowe was born in Alberta, Canada, on June 19, 1985, and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, when she was older. Bristowe was a contestant on The Bachelor, vying for Chris Soules‘ eye in 2015. She ended up in third place, losing to runner-up Becca Tilley and winner Whitney Bischoff.
She then returned to Bachelor Nation as one of two bachelorettes, alongside season 19 contestant Britt Nilsson. During her season, she made the shocking choice to allow season 10 contestant Nick Viall join the competition for her heart. Bristowe went on to choose Shawn Booth, who proposed to her in the season finale. They were together for three years before calling off their engagement and ending their relationship in November 2018.
Bristowe will cohosted season 17 of The Bachelorette alongside former Bachelorette Tayshia Adams. Bristowe has since appeared on the 2020 season of Dancing With the Stars, which she won with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev.
Bristowe created a podcast, “Off the Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe,” which began in May 2017, and hosted the Broadway show Home for the Holidays in late 2017. Bristowe now has a line of wine called Spade and Sparrows, and she debuted her single, “If I’m Being Honest,” in May 2020.
Bristowe started dating former The Bachelorette contestant Jason Tartick in January 2019. They announced their engagement in May 2021 and later confirmed their split in August 2023.
