When Kaitlyn Bristowe Knew It Was Time to Walk Away

My good friend Kaitlyn Bristowe joins me for a real friend heart-to-heart, as though mics weren’t recording us! We discuss how a hula hoop was her breaking point, why social media will play no role in her next relationship, the first date she went on post-split, the red balloon that freaked us both out during taping, thirst trapping with crying selfies, and how she ended up in a relationship while taping this episode.

To me the only way i know i can trust someone in a relationship is witnessing how the other person behaves when we have arguments / disagreements - can they still be respectful and disagree at the same time. That is a major way to tell !!!!!

[@Anditgoeslike49]

I would absolutely LOVE if you would have Dave Neal on your podcast. He is in TN now, and he has a wild but very real story to tell. Mind blowing. Kaitlyn is one of my favorites. The real deal. ❤

[@mellyholly]

Yes! Agree. Get Dave Neal on!!!

[@debraj5540]

I think the shelf life of the break up with Jason goes on and on because KB can't stop talking about it and putting him down.

[@sfree20]

Yes, and it’s the only thing keeping her relevant these days. She probably hasnt seen this much engagement in her socials in years. 😐

[@monicatill4450]

She didn’t say anything bad about him.

[@alyssad7019]

can i have 5 more hours of this. i love you two together.

[@lalaa8653]

My 2 faves. I love Kaitlyn so much and how proud of a 🇨🇦 she is just an all around great person ❤️

[@KH10118]

So she wasn’t all in, she left him, but she’s got the audacity to be pissed he’s moved on after they broke up? And girls girl my ass. She’s literally with her friends ex fiancé

[@triplea6614]

She won't even say Jason's name but will say Shawn. She loves attention.

[@mschulman4384]

I thought the not being all in story was about Shawn

[@claudiapermanentcosmetics8143]

Love the variety of topics in the podcast, you should do one on how can women be more supportive of each other instead of bringing down on each other. For decades women had to fight through boundaries and macho mentality to become who we want to become professionals, mothers,entrepreneurs and is been hard to get here so we women should talk more about how to be more supportive on each other instead of tearing each other down. Have a blessed day!!

[@lee-qi5xh]

Loved this podcast! Very good vibes, uplifting and fun.

[@AshleyHunsberger-z7t]

We need a pod with Justin and Kaitlyn. The three of you would be a good time

[@holly_wood26]

Maybe they just weren't the right fit. I never saw Jason and Kaitlyn together. She'll find her person.

[@nicholecampbell6577]

My two favorite podcast hosts come together!!! I’ve been waiting for this one! I secretly hope Kaitlyn is talking about Zac because I could see them being great together.

[@THELICENSEDGURU]

More 🙏🏼, loved the dynamic 🙌🏼❤️..

[@blaynemarie6611]

I love this podcast, I’m just here to gut laugh with you every time.

[@katie4400]

I give her all the credit, she could have stayed with Shawn or Jason because it was easy and she didn’t want to be alone but she chose herself in the end.

[@user-gn4dd9bj7k]

I absolutely love the two of you! ❤ and I love your podcast just as much. I’m so happy you created it.

[@livvlovve]

Hillary Duff was only one that turned out normal!!!!

[@heatherr7716]

omg so true

[@cassandrabenamon409]

Very true! And Tia and Tamara Mowry

[@MDLC03]

The 2 most infectious laughs! I’m really loving Kaitlyn now.

[@sandymartinez1860]

I liked that you said we aren’t attached to our family but can also float and be your own, super cool babes ☺️♥️🤍

[@Thecrombiesadventures]

So good! Love both you girls!!

[@christine0418]

I just loved these two hanging out 🩷

[@MelissaFreeman]

This was such a great episode

[@christinedavis6129]

Loved this episode, you both are adorable!! :)

[@lunaavalon4088]

This is a really fu and so honest conversation. Loved this duo 👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗

[@lunaavalon4088]

I meant fun 😂

[@traciesmith7434]

I definitely heard and saw that you were not all in for Jason. But, good for you to recognize and not string him along.

[@rtrt62723]

Kaitlyn kind of looks like Brynn from RHONY. Feel like you would all be great friends. Love the podcast!!!

[@soapyfankatie]

The man she's dating from New York sounds like Zac Clark

[@alyssad7019]

sure does!! :)

[@mschulman4384]

I don’t think a sober coach is a good match with a girl that loves her wine

[@melissaj_cochran5638]

I was hoping this too! He seems like such a good, open and honest guy!

[@sweetie7217]

They have the same laugh I love it lol

[@lookitzmiikeyy]

You guys are fucking dope not only seperate but together it's just amplified 🔥🔥🔥❤

[@kristinekerr3688]

Great episode ❤😊

[@franniemelville1211]

Loved this! (Second only to Justin! lol)

[@sandymartinez1860]

Kaitlyn is very relatable; so is Kristen, some parts I couldn’t relate to cause of privilege they inherently have but , I get it “Decent apartment for New York”

[@mentalbrookedown.]

38:41 I am deceased 😂

[@brieanatjaden7402]

2 of my faves together 💕👏🏼 love y’alls vulnerability

[@beardedham5983]

who is this beautiful lady - shes cool afffff - she passes the vibe check !!

[@alannashea6344]

You can definitely tell they are best friends lol loved this ❤ y’all need to have a podcast TOGETHER!!!

[@_Sunday_Morning]

People are so over Kaitlyn!! She LOOOOOVES to throw a pity party! It’s the same deal over and over again! We choose what to share on social media, yet she continuously chooses to cry on camera, throw child like tantrums, etc. Anything for attention! It’s diabolical!! You left Jason so live your life!

[@imkristinamarie]

Yeah, this duo needs to happen more often for sure! 😅 also, I know you have been on Call Her Daddy, but girl! Have Alex Cooper on!!

[@ebstudio9525]

Love you ladies ❣️❣️🎉

[@tis1043]

The red balloon came right After kristen asked if HE feels bad for seeing other people & kaitlyn said no then was elaborating 😮🚩🎈 The red flag is the NY guy

[@acasas24]

Exactly lol

[@monicatill4450]

Love KB!

[@serenesoundsportugal]

I wonder how much of the breakup is that she got lost in social media or that she jumped into a relationship without actually knowing him? Right from Shawn onto someone else. Taking your time to get to know someone and holding back your feelings in the beginning is really important. Something about his current relationship seems triggering to her. Is he so awful that he never deserves to date again? I don’t get it. You tried so hard with him. That’s great! It didn’t work out because you’re not right for each other. Maybe it’s just that simple.

[@dinaak6291]

Maybe because Jason is doing the same he did with Kaitlyn in this new relationship. It actually makes sense

[@StancyInTheCity]

Jason seemed very nice but not very dynamic. Kaitlyn to outshined him.

[@acsquared5533]

Kristen & Kaitlin thank you for being such amazing role models. Love you both and that you portray being human. No ones perfect and I love your authenticity beautiful souls 💖✨🫶🏻🙌🏻

[@CloisForever29]

She was on one episode of Kristen's E show.

[@chicagokat8]

I'll be your assistant in a heartbeat!!!

[@KaryCook]

Everyone looks good on paper

[@MrsGinFizz]

Love! Love - the Londre Swimwear images! Good for you Kaitlyn for showing the real reality! I whish more images were like this. Unfortunately I think it's almost impossible meeting a (heterosexual) man that has all the qualities she wish for and that us women deserve. It took until my almost 50:s to realize this. It's easier focusing on yourself and your other important relationships.

[@no47122]

I NEED to know were Kristin's mock denim set it from.

[@deborahlu77]

You can do it all on your own. Single moms everywhere do it all the time on their own, me included. But if I had the money to hire people I totally would!

[@dannymoore2534]

hey beautiful have a wonderful week your so beauitful kristin

[@sandymartinez1860]

Ps. I love you both sooo much

[@MovieJustin]

Interesting being introduced to Kaitlyn ❤

[@KATIEB1989]

Is she talking about Zac Clark??

[@heathercaffee9057]

I’m almost positive she is.

[@KATIEB1989]

@@heathercaffee9057 yikes! She gotta get outta bachelor nation... Not a good look lol

[@karenges2666]

Sure sounds like it! He lives in NY and based on the pics we have seen (and she said she sees him about once a month). I would be shocked if it wasn't Zac.

[@MorganC.]

Why would Kristen date someone who can't keep his hands to himself?

[@sandymartinez1860]

“Women want to tear other women down” No! Real women support each other, don’t put all of us in that category because of the way your insecure “friends” treated you Women stand by women.

[@DianaGalvez-nw9xs]

how did your boy know about the red balloon lol

[@timgrant1274]

49:20

[@selenadonker]

Clearly KB is seeing/dating Zac… 🎈😏 if they’re happy/we are 🙂

[@valeriereed8508]

I adore you! Would love it if you had Jessie James Decker on. Seems like you two would be friends.

[@kerrimartin5015]

We all know they don’t use these products. Can we please just forgo the bullshit that it is. It makes me want to buy the product less. Most people see through it

[@pennymole3728]

So are we all team Zac?

[@alyssad7019]

i think so! :)

[@ginacestodio9484]

Nooo

[@ginacestodio9484]

Love Zac but not with herrr

[@CheechSmeegs1222]

Two beautiful, successful & smart women but sadly the way they both handle relationships is so disappointing (for their age!) Women in their 20’s (I’m in my 30’s and married) please don’t make them your relationship role models 😬!!

[@Msleah8784]

Disclosing a cast member of full house did drugs isnt keeping it confidential

[@mschulman4384]

she's talked about it herself, Kaityln wasn't disclosing anything

[@AshleyHunsberger-z7t]

We need a pod with Justin and Kaitlyn. The three of you would be a good time
