Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick will be spending Christmas alone this year.

The two "Bachelorette" alums revealed that they've contracted coronavirus after having a friend over who had the virus.

Bristowe, 35, announced the news on Instagram on Thursday alongside a photo of herself and Tartick sitting in front of a Christmas tree, looking less than thrilled.

"Unfortunately, this is our Christmas card this year," she began in the caption. "We have Covid."

Thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been impacted by Covid, to those who have endured a challenging 2020, to the healthcare workers putting their lives on the line everyday for others and to those who are family less during the holiday."
