Katie met her husband, Jon, on The Grinder (RIP) when they were both members of the BOP. They’ve been married for six years and have a beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Ellie. They also have one dog, Biscuit, and three cats-Nugget, Cora, and Camry. Katie enjoys spending time with her family more than anything.
