In a recent explosive episode of her podcast Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley made a jaw-dropping revelation: she saw the writing on the wall for Jason Tartick and

Kaitlyn Bristowe’s romance months before the couple officially called it quits. Her candid conversation with Tartick, who appeared as a guest on the January 30 episode

, was as revealing as it was dramatic—offering fans a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the unraveling of one of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved pairs.

Chrisley, 26, didn’t mince words when recounting her initial impression of Bristowe’s energy during a previous guest appearance on Unlocked back in March 2023. “She came on my podcast, and I just knew by the way she was speaking about the relationship… I thought to myself, ‘This is not going anywhere. This is going to end,’” Savannah said, pulling no punches.

Tartick, 35, who split from Bristowe in July 2023, acknowledged Chrisley’s observations and admitted that he had heard from others who shared similar sentiments—people who noticed cracks in the couple’s foundation long before he was ready to face the truth himself.

“There was never a plan to move forward,” Chrisley added, pointing out the lack of wedding planning and Bristowe’s dismissive attitude toward the future. “I asked her about it, and she said, ‘Oh, I’m in no hurry.’ That was a red flag to me.”

Despite her predictions, Savannah insisted that she holds no ill will toward Bristowe. She called the former Bachelorette star “awesome” and emphasized that her remarks weren’t rooted in judgment, but rather in intuition. “I have so much respect for her, but I just knew deep down it wasn’t going to work.”

The tension between what was perceived and what was real extended beyond Savannah’s podcast studio. Tartick revealed that he had long sensed their relationship was deteriorating, even if he didn’t want to accept it. “When the breakup happened, I was desperate to salvage it. I said, ‘Let’s try anything.’ But it was too late,” he confessed.

Tartick described being caught in emotional limbo—trapped in denial and struggling to confront what, in retrospect, was inevitable. “If you picked up on that energy in March, then clearly the distance had already begun forming long before. I was living in a cloud, and looking back, I should’ve seen it,” he admitted.

One of Tartick’s biggest regrets, he shared, was his inability to address emotional conflict directly. “I didn’t step into conflict. I avoided it. That was my downfall. Watching her fall out of love with me—I turned inward, tried to feel safe, but I never addressed the actual problems,” he said.

Despite the heartbreak, Tartick seems to have found clarity in hindsight. “I know with certainty now—she was not my person, and I wasn’t hers. That’s something I’ve had to come to peace with.”

The pair’s relationship had once been the picture of post-reality TV bliss. Tartick, who rose to fame on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, met Bristowe when he appeared on her Off the Vine podcast in 2018. The two quickly began dating, and in May 2021, they got engaged in what fans hoped would be the start of a Bachelor Nation fairytale ending. But by the summer of 2023, the storybook closed on their romance, and the two parted ways.

Though the breakup initially seemed amicable, recent developments have thrown shade and suspicion into the spotlight. In early January 2024, Bristowe was spotted getting close to The Bachelorette alum Zac Clark at her New Year’s Eve party. The video sparked rumors of a new romance and questions about the timeline of her split from Tartick.

Tartick appeared to throw subtle shade in response, posting a cryptic Instagram message that read: “January 2nd — the first official day of 2024.” The internet took it as a thinly veiled jab at Bristowe’s NYE antics.

Bristowe didn’t hold back when responding to the rumors and accusations. During a candid Off the Vine podcast episode, she called out Tartick’s alleged “victim mentality,” describing it as “disappointing” and harmful.

“I don’t want to dismiss his feelings—I know he’s hurting—but we’ve had honest, respectful conversations. For him to spin this into some false narrative to gain sympathy… it’s just not right,” Bristowe said. She recalled attending Chris Harrison’s wedding together just two months prior and emphasized that they had maintained civility post-breakup—until now.

The tension didn’t stop there. Bristowe later took to Instagram to shut down rampant speculation that she had cheated on Tartick with Clark. “Here to say that there was never an ounce of cheating happening and I will not stand for this rumor,” she wrote in a fiery comment. “Y’all are NASTY in here. Swear on my dogs’ lives. No cheating went on. So we can just put that to rest.”

Despite her efforts to silence the noise, the internet hasn’t let up. Bristowe’s defenders applaud her for setting the record straight, while Tartick’s supporters sympathize with his heartbreak and applaud his vulnerability. As for Chrisley, her unexpected role as a relationship prophet has added a new layer to the drama.

This isn’t the first time Savannah Chrisley has found herself entangled in the personal dramas of reality TV’s elite, and with her signature blunt honesty and sharp observations, it likely won’t be the last. In this emotional whirlwind of heartbreak, self-reflection, and public scrutiny, one thing is certain: the lines between reality TV and real life continue to blur for Bachelor Nation’s most watched stars.

Whether it’s missed signs, social media whispers, or dramatic podcast confessions, the saga of Tartick and Bristowe serves as a reminder that love in the limelight comes with its own set of pressures—and that sometimes, outsiders like Savannah Chrisley see the cracks before the people living in them do.
