Jason Tartick has won over girlfriend Kat Stickler’s daughter in the sweetest way. On Sunday, August 18, Stickler, 29, shared a TikTok video captioned, “POV: the moment you realize your boyfriend’s officially been welcomed to the family.”
The clip shows her and her 4-year-old daughter, Mary-Katherine (MK), picking up Tartick, 35, at the airport.
In the video, MK stands in the terminal holding a bouquet of flowers, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the former Bachelorette contestant.
The moment MK spots Tartick, she runs towards him, and Tartick joyfully picks her up, enveloping her in a warm hug. As Tartick carries MK along with his luggage, she hands him the flowers, which he appreciatively smells.
Stickler captioned the video, “Flowers are our love language.” (Kat shares MK with her ex-husband, Mike Stickler.)
Tartick responded to the video, saying, “This video is everything, I love you both.”
Kat and Tartick began their relationship earlier this year after she appeared on his “Trading Secrets” podcast.
Their romance blossomed nearly a year after Tartick and his ex-fiancée Kaitlyn Bristowe ended their engagement in August 2023, following four years together.
While Kat and Tartick initially kept their relationship low-key, they were seen sharing affectionate moments at Stagecoach in April.
The couple made their relationship official when they walked the red carpet together at the American Express Presents Carbone Beach event in Miami in May. The following month, they confirmed their relationship on Instagram.
“Heart is full ,” Kat captioned a set of photos featuring herself and Tartick.
Despite not having been together for long, Kat and Tartick have already reached significant milestones in their relationship. Tartick not only met MK, but he also introduced Kat to his family.
“Big Day Today,” Jason wrote in a recent Instagram post featuring a family photo of himself, Kat, his parents, brother Steven Tartick, and Steven’s husband, Billy Rosen.
“Happy Birthday Mom (aka Caluch) Happy Father’s Day Dad (Gar Bone) Huge Congratulations to my brother who announced today his first ever Broadway show he’ll be producing [starring] Nick Jonas! The Last Five Years. And lastly Kat met the family! Lot of action today!”
As Jason and Kat’s relationship continues to grow, their friends have taken notice of the strong bond between them. Jason’s friend Nick Viall shared that the banker has never been happier since starting his relationship with Kat.
“I’m really excited for him. He seems really at peace,” the former Bachelor star said on a June episode of his “The Viall Files” podcast.
“I think he’s a high-character guy [and] I really like him. It’s great to see him happy. This is all to say he seems really happy.”
