The Origin Story

On June 19, 1985, Kaitlyn was born in Leduc, Alberta, Canada, a rural countryside town.

She was raised by her mother, a ballerina, and her stepfather.

She participated in dance classes as a young child and eventually relocated to Vancouver, Canada, on a dance scholarship.

She recalls how difficult it was for her, arriving with a hockey bag full of clothes, with no friends, nowhere to live, and no money.

After a short time living there, she relocated to Eastern Canada and eventually to Germany with her hockey player boyfriend.

The relationship would ultimately fail, and she moved back in with her mom in Leduc.

Her family convinced her to move back to Vancouver to chase her dreams, and she did just that.

In order to make ends meet in Vancouver, she worked as a hostess at the Cactus Club, a Canadian-owned chain of premium casual restaurants.

She eventually worked her way up to General Manager.

While this was the furthest from her dreams of dancing and performing, she was humbled and appreciated that it paid her bills.

The Bachelor

One of her close friends told her The Bachelor was accepting auditions and encouraged her to give it a shot.

Kaitlyn decided to broaden her horizons, so she auditioned for the nineteenth season of the hit reality TV show.

She didn’t hear back, assuming they didn’t like her video.

One year later, she received a voicemail from a casting agent, asking if she was still interested.

Kaitlyn accepted and starred in the following season’s show.

The first episode aired on January 5, 2015.

She placed third overall, making it to week nine, at which point she was eliminated.

The Bachelorette

Kaitlyn was also selected to star on the eleventh season of The Bachelorette, a spinoff of The Bachelor.

Although she was chosen, Bristowe had to compete with the other chosen contestant, Britt Nilsson.

Fortunately for Kaitlyn, the male contestants voted in favor of her, resulting in her leading the show.

The season premiered on May 18, 2015.

She chose Shawn Booth as the winner, and when he proposed to her on the final episode, and she accepted.

However, it was speculated that they never set a wedding date, and they ultimately split up in October 2018.

On November 14, 2015, Kailtyn was accepted to give a speech at a TEDxVancoucer event, where she talked about reality TV and its negative societal impacts.

As a popular contestant on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, she quickly learned that with fame comes immense negativity and scrutiny from the public and major gossip magazine outlets.

She wanted to speak out about manufactured truth and what we should do to prevent it.

Kaitlyn was chosen to host the show Home For The Holidays, Live on Broadway, which aired between November 17 – December 30, 2017.

Podcast

Shortly after wrapping up filming, on May 29, 2017, her podcast went live.

It is currently available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

By this point, her schedule was filled, and she had many commitments, but that didn’t stop her.

Dew Edit

In 2018, she cofounded the hair accessory company, Dew Edit, specializing in female accessories and apparel.

She quickly learned that she had a passion for entrepreneurship, so in 2019, she founded the wine label – Spade and Sparrows.

On September 6, 2019, she starred in the country music video ‘Drink About Me’ by Brett Kissel.

Following this, Brett invited her two dogs to star in his next music video, A Few Good Stories.

While it’s more common than not for reality stars to experience short-lived fame before their lives go back to ‘normal life,’ that isn’t the case for Kaitlyn.

Following her time on both shows, she took some time for her personal life and gave paid speaking engagements which helped maintain her celebrity status.

Dancing with the Stars

Due to her dance background and excellent physique, she was chosen as a contestant on the twenty-ninth season of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’

She was partnered with Russian-American professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev.

On November 23, 2020, it was announced that Kaitlyn and Artem won the competition.

On April 27, 2020, Kailtyn decided to enter the world of YouTubers, and 9 to Wine with Kaitlyn Bristow went live.

Her content covers lifestyle, health, and beauty.

On May 14, 2020, she released her debut country single, If I’m Being Honest, and on June 24, 2020, she surprised her fans with the release of her second debut single, Good For Somebody.
