00:00From reality TV heartbreak to a brand new jaw-dropping engagement,
00:04Jason Tardik's quest for love has been a literal roller coaster.
00:08He just put a ring on it, but the path to get here?
00:11It was filled with massive public breakups and internet-breaking romances.
00:15Let's break down his complete dating history.
00:18We first met Jason back in 2018, fighting for Becca Kufrin's heart on The Bachelorette.
00:24He didn't get the final rose, but he caught the eye of former Bachelorette, Caitlin Bristow.
00:30When Jason appeared on Caitlin's podcast in 2019, the sparks were instant.
00:36For four years, they were Bachelor Nation royalty.
00:40They moved in together, adopted two Golden Retrievers, and officially got engaged in 2021.
00:46Fans thought they were the real deal, until August 2023, when they shocked everyone by calling it quits.
00:53Jason admitted he falls fast and loves hard, and that led him straight into his next highly publicized romance.
01:01In the spring of 2024, Jason hard-launched a relationship with viral TikTok sensation Kat Stickler.
01:08The internet went absolutely wild for them.
01:10But sometimes, fast love burns out just as quickly.
01:14By October of that same year, after just six months together,
01:18they announced an amicable split, leaving Jason to navigate yet another public heartbreak.
01:24But Jason's luck completely changed thanks to a four-legged friend.
01:29In 2025, Jason adopted his Golden Retriever, Teddy, through the rescue organization WAGS and Wax Nashville.
01:37And guess who the founder and executive director was?
01:40Catherine Hurley.
01:41Jason always said his dream girl had to love dogs, and Catherine was the perfect match.
01:47By late 2025, they made it official.
01:50They bought a dream home together, launched campaigns as a couple, and looked happier than ever.
01:56Which brings us to right now.
01:58After an incredible summer trip to Europe, Jason officially popped the question,
02:03captioning the moment, right where we belong.
02:06From reality TV rejection to a beautiful real-world engagement,
02:10Jason finally found his forever.
