Kaitlyn recently teased bringing all of her exes together for a special reason. Keep reading to find out what’s going on.
Kaitlyn Bristowe Marks Special Milestone
Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette is one of the franchise’s best. ABC included it in the 2020 Greatest Seasons—Ever! special. Season 11 kicked off in May 2015. That’s right – it’s been a decade since Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season aired.
She took to Instagram to share an idea for how fans can celebrate the huge milestone. Kaitlyn asked for feedback on re-watching the entire season from start to finish to honor the 10th anniversary. She suggested live watch parties so she could interact with viewers.
The idea was a solid hit with her social media followers. Several comments heaped praise on Season 11 of The Bachelorette.
- “I feel like you had the best guys and the best season”
- “That was the best era of the bachelorette!”
- “This was peak bachelor/ bachelorette era”
- “Yours and Joelle were my favorite seasons of all time”
- “You had suuuch a good season! The men were 10/10”
Reuniting With Her Bachelorette Exes For Special Show?
Re-watching her Bachelorette season with fans wasn’t Kaitlyn’s only idea. She floated the possibility of inviting some of her top contestants onto her Off The Vine podcast for a special episode.
Kaitlyn included several names in her social media post. She extended the invite to Tanner Tolbert, Jared Haibon (4th place,) Ben Higgins (3rd place,) Nick Viall (2nd place,) and her ex-fiance, Shawn Booth.

Several of the Season 11 contestants went on to join other shows within the franchise. Ben Higgins and Nick Viall had their own Bachelor seasons.
Where She Stands With Shawn Booth
A lot has changed in the ten years since Kaitlyn Bristowe was on The Bachelorette. She got engaged to Shawn Booth in the series finale. They dated for three years before breaking up in 2018. Just a few months later she went public with her romance with Jason Tartick, a contestant from Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette.
Jason popped the question to Kaitlyn in 2021. But fans started to suspect there was trouble in paradise in early 2023. The couple confirmed in the summer that they had ended their engagement and gone their separate ways. He briefly dated influencer Kat Stickler. Kaitlyn is rumored to be dating Bachelorette Tayshia Adam’s ex-fiance, Zac Clark.
Most of Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Bachelorette exes are married with kids. Her former fiance, Shawn Booth, welcomed a child in late 2023 but hasn’t confirmed his relationship status with the baby’s mother.
Shawn and Kaitlyn’s relationship didn’t end on friendly terms. They’ve both said negative things about their brief engagement. But if Kaitlyn plans to invite him on her podcast, things must be better between them now.
Would you plan to tune in to Kaitlyn’s re-watch of her Bachelorette season or listen to her podcast if her exes came on? Sound off in the comments.
