Kaitlyn’s mental health was ‘affected’

In their split announcement, it appears that Kaitlyn and Jason ended things on amicable terms as they wrote that they would always have “care and admiration for one another.”

She explained the difficulty she felt in being a celebrity and going through her split from Jason: “We are both public figures… we have all these followers who we’ve let in and we’ve invited them into our lives and our relationship… going through a break-up, it’s a loss, it’s grief… there’s people on the other end of this phone expecting you to share it with them while you’re going through it.”

The 38-year-old added: “It is affecting my mental health so much…”

Kaitlyn and Jason were planning a wedding

At the time of writing, it appears that Kaitlyn has unfollowed Jason, 34, on Instagram, while he is still following her and her Off The Vine podcast account.

The ABC stars’ break-up can’t have been easy for them given that they had been planning a wedding for the last two years.

Speaking to Us Weekly in August 2021, Kailtlyn said that she and Jason had a “guest list, created a website, and set a date,” for their big day. 

However, their wedding plans were postponed for different reasons until they ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
