The twosome remained on amicable terms, even sharing custody of dog Billie. While speaking with Vogue Australia in October 2023, Pugh confessed that she hadn’t seen the pup in six months.
“She’s been with Dad,” she said of Braff. “I’m so excited [to see her]. I woke up this morning, you know when you have a date? And you’re like, eeee! I was like, eeee!” Credit: Courtesy of Jack Tartick/Instagram Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick The Bachelor Nation stars adopted golden retrievers Ramen and Pinot ahead of their 2021 engagement.
They announced their split in August 2023 but remained committed to sharing the pups. “Our dogs will continue to be cared for together as brothers. While their humans are no longer romantically involved, we will love and take care of them together,” Bristowe and Tartick wrote in an Instagram statement.
One year later, Bristowe decided to stop splitting custody after the dogs appeared “anxious” going between houses. “What I realized in sharing custody with the dogs is that they get very scared and very uncomfortable and very anxious not knowing where they’re going and when they’re coming back,” she said on a September 2024 episode of her “Off the Vine” podcast. “This is not personal to anybody [and] it happens when they’re in one house and when they’re in my house.
” Bristowe noted that she was willing to let Tartick continue to visit Ramen and Pinot. “I’m doing what’s best for the dogs,” Bristowe said. “He is more than welcome to see them if he is in town for the weekend or wants to take them for a walk.
I would never keep them from anyone.” Credit: Dan Steinberg/Shutterstock; Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock Brittany Snow and Tyler Stanaland The Pitch Perfect alum and the Selling the O.C.
