No winter doldrums here! Bachelorette alum Kaitlyn Bristowe, who announced her split from ex-fiancé Shawn Booth in November, told Instagram followers she’s the “happiest [she’s] been in a while,” even amid the occasional bout of anxiety.
Things got hotter in Bachelor Nation when Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick kickstarted their headline-making relationship in January 2019. The Dew Edit designer and the former banker met during an interview on Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast. They confirmed they were dating just two months after the former Bachelorette and her ex-fiancé, Shawn Booth, called […]
The 33-year-old posted a fresh-faced selfie on Thursday, March 7, and opened up about her state of mind. “If I’m being honest, I’ve been having (minor) anxiety the last couple nights. Nothing specific, just worried about a bunch of little things that are out of my control,” she began. “I caught myself caring what other people were saying about me. People who DON’T actually care about ME. How ridiculous right?”

Bristowe wrote that she lost sleep and allowed “irrelevant BS on social media” to ruin her day until she got a reality check from a pal. “My best friend reminded me that it’s [Instagram]. Not a real moment. It’s fleeting,” she added. “I took a few deep breaths, put my phone down, and got lost in my book. (best feeling ever). Just wanted to share, that even though I am the happiest I’ve been in a while, I’m still human. We all are.”
Not meant to be. While Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth had a whirlwind romance on her season of The Bachelorette, the pair had their ups and downs before they ultimately called it quits. The duo met on season 11 of the ABC dating series in 2015. Booth ended up as a finalist alongside Nick Viall. Ultimately, […]
“I still have my moments, my doubts, my worries, my anxiety,” the “Off the Vine” podcast host explained. “But as long as I continue to have self compassion, GRATITUDE, and self love, I’ll continue to grow.”
Bristowe also explained her decision to go makeup-free in the self-portrait. “This is a pic of me I took the other day because I was feeling comfortable in my own skin,” she wrote. “I had just finished days of full glam, photo shoots, and filming. And loved having a fresh face. I often have to remind myself that I actually feel sexier like this, than I do dolled up and in edited glam shots. It’s social media that sometimes warps my thoughts of what is ‘beautiful’. (Being done up is beautiful too). But what’s REALLY beautiful is happiness. And overall, I’m pretty f–kin’ happy.”
What happens on The Bachelor, doesn’t always stay on The Bachelor! While many couples have found — or lost — love on the reality TV dating franchise over the years, others have met their match within Bachelor Nation after their season ended. Katie Thurston joined the club of offcamera Bachelor Nation couples in November 2021 […]
