Are Bachelor Nation’s Jason Tartick & Kelley Flanagan Dating? What We Know About the Rumor
There may be a hot new couple in Bachelor Nation! Kelley Flanagan and Jason Tartick posted a new TikTok together that has fans buzzing about the status of their relationship.
The two are known for their previous Bachelor Nation romances with Peter Weber and Kaitlyn Bristowe, respectively. However, they both became newly single in 2024 after ending their latest relationships with Ari Raptis and Kat Stickler.
Flanagan posted the TikTok that sparked romance rumors on March 15. In the clip, she and Tartick are riding together in a car as she mouths over trending audio, “I’m not saying a word without my lawyer present.” The camera then pans to The Bachelorette alum who mouths, “Ma’am, you are the lawyer.”

As Flanagan moves the camera back to face herself, she mouths, “Then where’s my present?” From offscreen, Tartick hands her a Chanel purse.
There’s more to this story than just a silly TikTok, though. Back in February, Flanagan shared an anecdote with her followers about how a mystery man spilled wine on her Chanel purse at the Super Bowl. She explained that the person felt so bad about the incident that he bought her a brand-new purse to make up for it.
“There is no red wine stains on it, like, it did not hurt it in any degree,” Flanagan explained. “So, all of his buddies are sitting there giving him grief, giving him a hard time. ‘Oh my God, you ruined her Chanel. It’s so expensive. You’ve got to buy her a new one.’ And I see him, like, secretly taking a picture of my Chanel, And I’m like, ‘No, no, no, no, like, nothing is wrong with it. We’re all good. It’s okay.’ But his friends would not stop giving him grief about it. And next thing I know…guys, this is what i just got in the mail.”
At the time, she confirmed that the person who sent the bag was not someone whom she was dating or seeing, but things can change in a month’s time, right!? Tartick was, indeed, at the Super Bowl, and this video appears to reveal his identity as “purse guy.” The reality stars have not commented on the status of their relationship, although Tartick did dub himself “single” in a March 17 Instagram post.
Flanagan was on Weber’s season of The Bachelor. Although he didn’t pick her, they reconciled after the show and dated on and off from April 2020 to 2023. She was then in a relationship with Raptis, which ended in 2024 after he was allegedly unfaithful.
Meanwhile, Tartick did not find love with Becca Kufrin on The Bachelorette, but he did connect with Bristowe while discussing his time on the show as a guest on her podcast. They started dating in January 2019 after she split from Shawn Booth. The two even got engaged, but the relationship eventually ended in 2023. He was with Stickler for six months before their October 2024 split.
