A debate about the definition of “girl code” is nothing new — but do the rules apply to Bachelor Nation? Let Us present you with the facts and allow you to decide. Fans of The Bachelor and Bachelorette are buzzing after Kaitlyn Bristowe told a story about giving a fellow Bachelor Nation alum a “heads-up” about going on a date with their ex. While she didn’t name names, it’s pretty clear that she is referring to Tayshia Adams – who Kaitlyn cohosted two seasons of the ABC franchise with — and Tayshia’s ex-fiancé, Zac Clark.
Kaitlyn was introduced on season 19 of The Bachelor , finishing as the second runner-up in the fight for farmer Chris Soules ’ affections. ABC later named her (and briefly Britt Nelson , but that is a whole other explainer) the season 11 Bachelorette. Kaitlyn got engaged to Shawn Booth on the 2015 finale, but they called it quits in 2018.
She later dated and got engaged to Jason Tartick , who appeared on season 14 of The Bachelorette. They ended their romance in summer 2023. Tayshia made her first reality TV appearance on Colton Underwood ’s season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019.
She went on to appear on season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise before ABC tapped her to take over for Clare Crawley as the season 16 lead of The Bachelorette . (Again, Us could explain that to you another time.) During the 2020 finale of season 16, Tayshia got engaged to Zac.
Zac and Tayshia moved in together in New York City and quickly became a fan-favorite Bachel.
