Love life and relationships

Katie’s highly secretive when it comes to talking about her love life, and hasn’t shared details of any boys (or girls) whom she has perhaps been with. This is mostly why there are various rumors circulating the internet concerning her past and present affairs, as well as her sexual orientation.

Some of her fans believe that she was once in a relationship with Brendan Dooling, an American actor, who portrayed her boyfriend in the series “The Carrie Diaries”. The two seemed so in love in the series that it made their fans wonder if they were together in real life as well. Neither Brendan nor Katie have addressed these rumors.

There are also those who claim that Katie’s a lesbian, and that this is why she hasn’t mentioned the boys whom she has perhaps been with, but this hasn’t been confirmed either.

As of July 2021, Katie seems to be single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
