Kat Stickler has embarked on a covert romantic journey with a mysterious gentleman, nine months after parting ways with Jason Tartick. The content creator subtly introduced her burgeoning relationship with this enigmatic figure through a July 22 TikTok video, which featured the catchy "Illegal" tune by Pinkpantheress as its soundtrack. In the clip, the 30-year-old Kat stands, her hand extended in a handshake, framed by text reading, "Girl whose whole life is online."
The scene transitions seamlessly to reveal a man, his head partially obscured by the frame, returning Kat's handshake beneath text that playfully declares, "Guy whose whole life is private." The narrative deepens as Kat is seen perched on the lap of this mystery man, his face turned away from the camera, as she playfully nips his ear before they share a tender kiss.
Kat captioned this intriguing video with, "Perfect match?" Fans flocked to the comments section to celebrate her newfound love, with one enthusiastically exclaiming, "Love the soft launch!!" Another curious follower queried the extent of Kat's beau's privacy, wondering, "How private? Like he won't even attend a Coldplay concert with you kind of private?" Kat, ever the joker, playfully responded in the comments, "Here we go again," hinting at the excitement and perhaps the unpredictability of her latest romance.
Prior to making her TikTok debut as a couple, Kat—who co-parents daughter MK with her ex-husband Mike Stickler—had already begun teasing her relationship status through a July 21 Instagram Stories post, which featured a picture of her with a man whose face was thoughtfully obscured with scribbles.
This latest romance marks Kat's first public foray into the world of love since her amicable split from Jason in October, following a six-month relationship. Speaking about the breakup at the time, Kat emphasized that it was "amicable," explaining in a TikTok video, "It just didn't work. It's not love wasted. I feel like sometimes, it's so easy to think when a relationship ends that the love was wasted, but love is never wasted."
