Kaitlyn Bristowe Shares How 'Grateful' She Feels for Jason Tartick
Kaitlyn Bristowe feels grateful for her boyfriend Jason Tartick, and she’s letting the world know exactly how much he means to her.
On Friday, Kaitlyn penned a heartfelt and sentimental tribute to Jason on Instagram and commended him for his perpetual positivity, intellectual curiosity, and all-around warmth. She posted a candid photo of them that captured Jason smiling and laughing while Kaitlyn spoke.
Her caption began, "Jason Michael Tartick. The guy who will always look at life glass half full. The guy who is an early bird just to make sure a day isn’t wasted. He will bring me coffee in bed while he reads his morning paper."
The Season 11 Bachelorette lauded him for "[engaging] in every conversation he has" and also caring "what people have to say. Unless you are a troll." Trolls need not bother with Jason because he "literally couldn’t care less about negative trolls."

Kaitlyn shared, "His energy is freakin electric, and he works his ass off building something that I will change people’s lives." She then added a "shameless plug" for Jason's company called Restart that offers financial tutorials and advice.
She said of his new business ventures, "I don’t think people really know how hard he works on that. Not only does he work on himself but he will take the time to help me with all the financial aspects of my businesses."
Kaitlyn explained that she and Jason "helped each other grow in so many ways," even amid the stay-at-home order. "Through this weird time yes, of course I have wanted to throat chop him, and I’m sure there have been plenty of times where he’s wanted to run," she shared. "But I know we both don’t know what we would do without one another and I just felt like sharing my gratitude for him today."
She said she expresses her "gratitude" in her journal every night, but she wanted to publicize that affection on a bigger platform.
Jason commented, "Wow, this was so unexpected but so damn sweet. Quarantine has been full of ups, downs, lefts and rights but through it all it's put us in the best place we've ever been. Thank you & love you Kait!"

Kaitlyn is no stranger to posting these types of appreciation posts for her boyfriend. In October, she marked the one-year anniversary of when they met which took place in Seattle at a podcast recording. They both had nearly canceled the recording, and Kaitlyn revealed in her caption she "had been bawling my eyes out in an Uber, going through some crap."
She wrote at the time, "But If you spend two seconds with Jason you realize his energy is electric and you can’t help but be in a good mood. My day had changed. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I thought of Jason as a friend, and wanted him to be the bachelor."
That fateful day brought them together, and they've been dating for almost a year and a half. He moved to Nashville to live with Kaitlyn, and they have two dogs, Ramen and Pinot.
