John Mayer and Kat Stickler date after a cute photo appears

“I am sad to share that Kat and I are no longer together,” Tartick shared via Instagram Story at the time. “It’s fair to say that I love with all my heart and fall easily. Sometimes in life that works and other times it doesn’t. This time that didn’t happen.”

“Kat has brought me so much happiness and light, she has brought out parts of me that I didn’t know existed. I will be forever grateful to her and of course [her daughter] dear MK. This chapter will be closed amicably and another chapter will open.”

While Stickler explores her relationship with the Bachelor party star wasn’t “wasted love,” Tartick said months later to say the breakup was “so abrupt” and “so unexpected.”

“What I heard then, these things that I hear publicly about speculation about what happened. I’m just sitting in my house and pulling out my hair. Like, ‘You’re kidding me.’ That was a very tough month. A very, very, very difficult month,” Tartick said in an episode of his in January Trade Secrets podcast.
