They made their relationship public during a segment on TODAY, where Tartick confirmed their status and shared their journey from friends to partners.

The couple's love story continued to unfold, and they celebrated their four-year dating anniversary in January 2023 with a heartfelt tribute on social media. However, just a few months later, Bristowe and Tartick announced the end of their engagement.
