‘Bachelor’ Fans Spot Kaitlyn Bristowe and Zach Clark at NHL Game, Sparking Relationship Speculation
LAS VEGAS – Fans reacted wiht surprise and intrigue after spotting former “Bachelorette” star Kaitlyn bristowe and hockey player Zach Clark attending an NHL game together, fueling speculation about their relationship status. The sighting occurred during a recent game, with photos circulating on Instagram prompting a flurry of comments from “Bachelor” Nation.
The NHL’s official Instagram post of the event initially did not tag Clark,leading some fans to believe the intention was to keep his presence with Bristowe discreet. “This is messy,” one fan commented,while another wrote,”Oh shoots… Zach is next to Kaitlyn! This is real.” A third user pointed out the omission of Clark’s handle, noting that golfer Justin Thomas was also left untagged.
The appearance of both Bristowe and her ex-fiancé, Jason Tartick, at the same event also raised eyebrows, given their recent split. Bristowe and Tartick announced their separation in August 2023, but tensions have reportedly increased in recent months.
During a June 13 episode of the “Almost Adulting” podcast, Bristowe revealed she ended the relationship as she desired a partner who didn’t rely on income from social media influencing. She specifically expressed “resentment” over Tartick launching his “Trading Secrets” podcast, stating, “I hoped to be chosen, my feelings would be chosen. A podcast was not worth him when he could do all this money on othre avenues.” She further explained she experienced a “panic attack” feeling “not chosen” and that her feelings weren’t “worth the money for him.”
Social media users commented on the awkwardness of Bristowe and Tartick being at the same game. “Are [they] really ther.In the same place… simultaneously occurring? Whoa,” one user wrote. Another questioned, ”They are all really there right now?”
As of this writing, neither Bristowe nor Clark have publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.
