Kaitlyn Bristowe Supports Zac Clark's Foundation Gala Amid Romance Rumors

Kaitlyn Bristowe supported Zac Clark's foundation amid romance rumors.

Bristowe, 40, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 6, to support Clark's Release Foundation Gala, which was honoring Carl Radke after he was given the Keep Going Community Hero Award in April.

"Let's freakin go @carlradke," the former Bachelorette captioned the post, which featured Radke's face on a screen. "Inspirational people making an impact without knowing it 🙏," she added. "We love a humble king."

The Summer House star, 41, has been candid about his struggles with addiction throughout the years. On April 20, Clarke's foundation announced that Radke was given the award via Instagram.

"We are thrilled to honor Carl Radke with the Keep Going Community Hero Award at our annual Release Foundation Gala on May 6," the official foundation captioned a photo of Radke posing in front of his non-alcoholic cafe, Soft Bar.

The post continued, "You may recognize Carl from Summer House, but his impact extends far beyond the screen. As the founder of @softbarcafe, a non-alcoholic bar, café, and community-driven space that reimagines socializing without alcohol and offers thoughtfully curated beverages and a welcoming environment for connection, Carl is helping shift the culture around how we gather."

Bristowe and Clark, 42, who founded the Release Recovery Foundation in 2019 with Matt Rinkin, sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were spotted celebrating New Year's Eve together at her Nashville home.

The following month, Clark and the Dancing With the Stars alum got cozy during an outing in New York City. In the video, shared by BachelorNation.Scoop, Bristowe held Clark's hand and danced with him. They were also seen pulling each other in for an embrace.

Bristowe previously attended Clark's Release Foundation Gala in May 2024.

That same month, she cheered him on as he ran the New York City Marathon. The duo have also attended NFL games together, as well as shared silly posts for each other to celebrate their respective birthdays.

Bristowe was previously engaged to Shawn Booth from 2015 through 2018, and later Jason Tartick from 2019 through 2023. Clark, for his part, got down on one knee and proposed to Tayshia Adams in 2020 during her season 16 of The Bachelorette. Adams and Clark called off their engagement in November 2021, less than one year after the show's finale aired.
