Season 29 “Dancing With the Stars” champ Kaitlyn Bristowe has seemingly confirmed that she’s still dating Zac Clark. It appears as though the two spent Christmas together.
Both Bristowe and Clark took to their Instagram Stories on December 25 to share similar photos of lit candles in church.
“Many different beliefs when attending church. But one I share with the community is shining your light,” Bristowe captioned her post. In it, she was holding a candle and a man next to her was also holding a candle. Then, Clark posted a photo of himself holding the same candle.
‘Bachelorette’ Fans Reacted to Kaitlyn Bristowe & Zac Clark’s Photos on Reddit
Quite a few fans took to Reddit to react to Bristowe and Clark’s holiday posts.
“If you follow him, you know how important his family and friends are for him. His recovery and family are the most important part in his life. He is sharing her with his family and friends, that is very telling. Imo he probably is choosing not to go public because he knows the amount of hate this relationship gets. he probably is, on the contrary of what haters beliefs, protecting it,” one person wrote.
“I think it’s actually reassuring to her that he’s not eager to post her all over his socials bc she doesn’t have to worry that he only wants to be with her for clout,” someone else added.
“Yeah I feel like a hard launch is imminent. It definitely feels like they’re fairly serious at this point. IIRC RS said that New Years last year was supposed to be more of a launch, but she wasn’t expecting that much backlash. It would be funny if they did like an official grid post announcement on January 1 this year lol,” a third comment read.
Kaitlyn Bristowe & Zac Clark Haven’t Officially Gone Public
Though it is believed that Bristowe and Clark have been dating for more than a year, the two haven’t made their romance official just yet.
For her part, Bristowe seems to want to protect her relationship. The reason? The former “Bachelorette” lead has gotten a lot of heat for dating Clark, who was previously engaged to Tayshia Adams.
Just after the New Year (2024), Bristowe got some hate from people who criticized her after finding out that she was seeing Clark. At the time, the two spent New Year’s Eve together and a photo of Bristowe sitting on Clark’s lap popped up on social media.
“You would think by now I’d be used to the hate. I’m not. Your words hurt. Your shaming hurts. Part of me feels a little sad and honestly embarrassed for you guys because this shouldn’t be how you spend day 1 of a new year. You should not be this invested in someone you don’t even know or respect. It’s actually scary, and I know looking inward might be even scarier for you. But the bullying is next level. You are allowed to have opinions and feelings,” Bristowe wrote via her Instagram Story in January.
“But you don’t even know the truth, and your HATE should actually come with consequences. I truly worry about some of your mental health. It’s not OK. It’s. Not. Please. Please feel ashamed of yourselves for treating someone this way who you don’t know. I did not kill someone. I had a party with some of my favorite people. Shame. On. YOU. Not me,” she added.
