After she was done handing out roses on "The Bachelorette," Kaitlyn Bristowe went onto ABC's reality competition show, "Dancing With the Stars." 

The 37-year-old took home the Mirror Ball trophy with her partner, Artem Chigvintsev during Season 29, which occurred in 2020.

Although the two spent months together, Bristowe is now admitting the two no longer talk.

Two years after the "Bachelor" alum won season 29 of "Dancing With the Stars" with Chigvintsev, the reality star is now admitting she no longer speaks to her partner.

“You know, what’s funny is I actually feel like Artem and I had — it [was] like a business,” she told US. “And then we moved forward, and I haven’t really talked to him, which is kind of sad. I don’t know. He’s busy. He’s dancing every day. He’s got a little sweet boy at home, and he just got married [to Nikki Bella], which I was so excited for them.”

Artem Chigvintsev is currently competing on this season of "Dancing With the Stars" alongside reality television personality Heidi D'Amelio, whose daughter, Charli, is also competing on.

After Bristowe took home the Mirror Ball trophy in 2020, she admits he was shocked, thinking that the show wouldn't let two "Bachelorette" leads win (Hannah Brown won the competition series the year prior in 2019.)

“I honestly was like, ‘Are they really going to let two Bachelorettes win?'” Bristowe told Variety after winning. “It just makes me realize how supportive all of ‘The Bachelor’ fans are,” she added.

She also brought up the loyal fan base of her partner's, and his wife, WWE star Nikki Bella. “Artem and Nikki have such loyal fans too, and that’s really what gets you through each week — people voting and rooting for you,” she continued.

And although competing on "Dancing With the Stars" was hard work, Bristowe said she wouldn't change anything. “It was everything and more that I could have asked for," she said. "Because when you work that hard for something and then you get this kind of outcome — and Artem and I were supposed to be partners five years ago — this moment just feels so surreal and this means the world to me."

Kaitlyn Bristowe is currently planning a wedding with her fiancée, Jason Tartick, who is also a "Bachelor" alum. “Neither of us are the most helpful right now," she said regarding the current wedding planning. "We need the venue and date first. We are both kind of stressed out to be honest with you.”

She continued, “The wedding vibe we are going for is over-the-top fancy, but at the same time, we want Buffalo chicken wings.”

When it comes to the size of the wedding, the two can't seem to agree there either. Bristowe explained, “Jason wants it to be big. I want it to be more intimate. So we’re going to have to learn our compromising skills.”

Bristowe and Tatrick have been engaged since 2021 when he finally popped the question during an episode of her podcast.
