TikTok sensation Sam Stickler and ‘The Bachelor’ alum Jason Tartick have set tongues wagging with their recent public appearances and social media interactions. The pair has been spotted together on several occasions, and they have also posted each other on their Instagram stories.
While Tartick has remained coy about their alleged relationship, he has not been able to resist singing Stickler’s praises on his ‘Trading Secrets’ podcast. Describing her as ‘amazing,’ ‘special,’ and ‘awesome,’ Tartick has lavished compliments on his fellow social media star. However, he has also revealed his reasons for keeping their supposed romance under wraps. ‘The whole dating aspect, which I’m relatively new to, I’m like, ‘You know what? For right now, today, I’m gonna kind of keep things private until things become more serious,” he explained.
Tartick’s reluctance to discuss his dating life publicly stems from the highly publicized breakup of his engagement to ‘The Bachelorette’ star Kaitlyn Bristowe in August 2023. The split, which Tartick described as ‘heartbreaking,’ has made him wary of opening up about his subsequent relationships.
Stickler, too, has experienced a public breakup. She separated from her ex-husband, Mike Stickler, in March 2021, and the pair announced their split on TikTok, where they had initially gained fame. Despite the amicable nature of their separation, many fans were quick to note that Stickler appeared to have ‘upgraded’ from her ’emotionless’ ex-partner.
Since her breakup, Stickler has become known for her comical content on TikTok, where she advises her 10.3 million followers to ‘catch flights, not feelings.’ She is also the co-owner of SturDrinks, a company that produces flavorful water enhancers.
