Kaitlyn Bristowe may be taking a social media break, but that didn’t stop her from answering burning questions about her split from Jason Tartick when she was stopped at LAX.
“I’m OK. It’s tough times, I mean, the easiest part is that we respect each other and love each other,” the 38-year-old former Bachelorette told a photographer in a video obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, August 8.
When asked whether the exes “grew out of love,” Bristowe replied: “I don’t even know. … Honestly, it was both of our [decision to end things]. We keep saying, too, that the door isn’t permanently closed — that’s why there’s handles on it. We don’t know what’s going on.”
Bristowe went on to explain that she and Tartick, 34, are “sharing” their dogs, joking that if it was up to her, she’d have full custody of Ramen and Pinot.
“We’re coparenting the dogs. You could even see us walking the dogs together on a Sunday. We’re still good,” she concluded.
Bristowe and Tartick announced on Sunday, August 6, that they were “ending” their engagement more than two years after he popped the question.
“We haven’t gotten that far to talk about [what will happen to the] ring,” Bristowe told TMZ. “But, I mean, he gave that to me. It’s up to him.”
After the photographer declared that Tartick didn’t seem like “the type of guy” to ask for the diamond back, Bristowe agreed, adding, “He’s not that type of guy, he’s a great guy. You never know.”
Bristowe went on to say that she wasn’t ready to date again.
“I’m open to just love in general,” she replied when asked about being bisexual. “But not anytime soon.”
Bristowe subsequently confirmed that she was in California to make a guest appearance on The Golden Bachelor, which is currently in production on its first season with
