Kaitlyn Bristowe Says She Won't Return As 'The Bachelorette' Co-Host: 'I Will Be Sad'

Kaitlyn Bristowe, who co-hosted "The Bachelorette" season 17 and 18 along with Tayshia Adams, has revealed she won't be returning in the upcoming season, which is slated for release on July 11.

"I've been getting a lot of questions, whether or not I'm being on the next Bachelorette season, so I thought I would just quickly touch base on it," the 36-year-old TV personality said on "Off the Vine" podcast Monday.

"I saw at the end of the finale, Jesse [Palmer] was announcing the two bachelorettes, and he said he was going to be by their side for that," she recalled. "So, I guess spoiler alert: I'm not coming back. I think Jesse's amazing. He'll be a great host and I hope he helps Gabby and Rachael in any way that he can."

TV personality Jesse Palmer served as a host in "The Bachelor," the original show on which "The Bachelorette" is based.

Bristowe explained that it has been a "wild year" for her as she finished filming two "The Bachelorette" seasons, her live podcast tour and the "Dancing with the Stars" tour.

She then shared how her hectic schedule, which also includes wedding planning duties as she prepares to tie the knot with fiancé Jason Tartick, has affected her decision not to return as a co-host of the program.

Bristowe noted that she loves the show, but now, she just wants to "prioritize being at home with Jason and the [dogs] and start planning my wedding and catch up on my businesses."

"So, hashtag blessing in disguise, I guess," she added. "There's a lot of exciting things coming up in the next few months, and it all just feels very overwhelming. But I guess it's that saying like, you can have it all, but you can't have it all at once. I will be sad, though I want to be there to support them, but that's the update."

Earlier this year, Bristowe announced her plan to marry Tartick in Nashville in October. "I'll let the wedding planner, as long as I trust them, do their thing, so hopefully that will make it easier," she told ET in January.

On the work front, Bristowe was featured in the 2019 shows "We're Alive: Goldrush" and "You Know Me... Now Meet My Pet."
