WhileKaitlyn BristoweandJason Tartick’s breakup came as a surprise to many, that wasn’t the case forSavannah Chrisley.
As Tartick joined Chrisley for the latest episode of herUnlockedpodcast on Tuesday, the two reality stars opened up about his summer 2023 split from Bristowe.
But when theChrisley Knows Bestalum, 26, shared her take on the matter, she recalled a previous conversation she had with the 38-year-old Dew Edit founder whenshe appeared on the podcast last March.
To that, Tartick, 35, said: “I’ve heard there were a lot of conversations I wasn’t aware of before the breakup that were similar to that.”
Chrisley noted that based on her conversation with Bristowe, there “was never a step to move forward” for the pair and “there was never, like, let’s plan a wedding, let’s do these things.”
Like Chrisley, Tartick also “knew” the pair were not built to last, but “was avoiding it.”

“It was gradually growing apart. I was a bit in denial,” he said, noting that he initially wanted to “salvage” the relationship before she broke up with him.
“I think I lived a little bit in a cloud,” he continued. “I should have seen [our issues] and I should have stepped into it earlier.”
Citing what went wrong between them, Tartick explained that “a lot of things came to fruition that had to be worked through and they weren’t worked through properly in a healthy way.” He also said that “resentment was built and it wasn’t worked through,” either.
“I know with certainty, even when I look back at all the thumb-pointing, the things I should have done better and been a better partner. And I will be in my next relationship,” he said. “I know with certainty that she absolutely was not my person. I know with certainty I absolutely wasn’t her person.”
