Katie found fame when she finished in eighth place on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor, which aired in 2019. She then she looked for love on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise.
Katie got engaged to Chris Bukowski on Bachelor in Paradise's sixth-season finale that taped in June 2019.
Katie and Chris, a six-time participant in The Bachelor franchise, arguably had one of the most beautiful and emotional marriage proposals of all time on the show because Katie seemingly changed his life and opened his heart again.
Katie and Chris then reunited in August 2019 to provide fans with an update on their relationship in a segment that aired during the finale of Bachelor in Paradise on ABC.
Katie was in tears during the reunion claiming Chris rarely expressed his feelings for her and their communication was severely lacking, and Chris appeared somewhat cold and disconnected.
"I just put in so much effort every day and I love him so much, but I put in so much that my tank empties and if I'm not getting it filled, I break down," Katie vented at the BIP reunion.
