For her part, Kaitlyn has shared her struggles in the wake of her split with her fiancé—one of the chief among them being deciding how much she wishes to share on social media.
"I'm going through a breakup with someone I was engaged to," the 38-year-old explained on the Aug. 8 episode of her Off the Vine podcast. "Now, we both are public figures, we both came from the same show. We have all these followers who we've let in, and we've invited them into our lives and our relationship and our home and what we're doing—morning, afternoon, night. It's become part of, like, business."
She added that it's "gotten to this point where something like going through a breakup—it's a loss, it's grief, you're going through the thought of losing somebody, all of these big emotions—and now these people are on the other end of this phone expecting you to share it with them."
Jason and Kaitlyn announced their breakup on Aug. 6 through a joint statement shared to Instagram.
Though they did not share the reason for their split, the pair touched on their desire to maintain some sort of relationship, writing, "Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We feel grateful to be ending our engagement with love and respect for each other. It's heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for one another will never die."
