The video was clearly meant to reassure fans that there’s no romantic connection between them, but instead, it only fueled more speculation. Fans took to the comments section, sharing their thoughts and reactions. Flanagan even chimed in, jokingly responding to the comments: “Ohhhh these comments. We said ‘friends,’ Instagram said ‘sure, tell us when the baby’s due.'” She later added, “I’m just going to shut up because I don’t think I’m going to win this one lol.”
Other Bachelor Nation stars also weighed in. Tyler Cameron, a finalist from season 15, commented, “Yeah, this is what me and [Tate Madden] used to do,” referencing his current relationship. He added, “Can’t wait to see how this one turns out!”
Fans were more convinced than ever that the pair had real chemistry. One fan wrote, “Well we hope it ends up being more than just friends because you two would be one hell of a couple.” Another commented, “That’s how I wound up engaged,” while a third joked, “I’ll open a Roth IRA if you two date,” referencing Tartick’s financial podcast.

A Weekend of Fun and Increased Speculation
The pair spent the Fourth of July weekend together in the Hamptons, joining other Bachelor Nation personalities for a celebration. Flanagan shared a carousel of fun photos on her Instagram, captioning it, “4th of July recap with my favorite people!” Tartick responded with, “What a weekend!”
The photos immediately sparked more dating rumors. Fans flooded the comments with messages like, “You and @jason_tartick would be great together.” Flanagan also posted a photo of her snuggling with Tartick’s golden retriever, Teddy, after their flight home was delayed.
This isn’t the first time the pair has been seen together. They have shared multiple photos and videos, and Flanagan has appeared as a guest on Tartick’s podcast several times. Their frequent interactions have only added to the speculation about their relationship.
Both Single and Open to New Possibilities
Both Flanagan and Tartick are currently single, having gone through intense dating experiences in the past. Flanagan competed on season 24 of The Bachelor, where she vied for Peter Weber’s heart. Although she left in week 7, the two eventually started dating after the show. She later entered a relationship with entrepreneur Ari Raptis but has since split from him.
Tartick, on the other hand, competed on the 14th season of The Bachelorette, where he pursued Becca Kufrin. He was sent home after the fantasy suites. He went on to date and even get engaged to former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe. However, they broke up in August 2023, and Tartick briefly dated influencer Kat Sticker before their split in October 2024.
Despite their recent breakups, both Tartick and Flanagan seem to be enjoying their single status. While they may still be considered just friends, fans aren’t wrong in thinking that something could develop between them in the future. With their undeniable chemistry and frequent interactions, it’s hard to ignore the possibility that their friendship might turn into something more.
