How Did Cameron and Kat Meet?
The couple initially crossed paths on Raya, an exclusive, membership-based dating platform tailored for individuals within the entertainment industry, encompassing celebrities and professionals alike.

Wedding Bells for Cameron and Kat
In August 2020, Kat announced her engagement to Cameron by proudly showcasing her engagement ring on “Gutfeld.” Playfully sharing the moment on Instagram, she quipped that ‘hell froze over’, as prior to meeting Cameron, she wasn’t actively seeking a boyfriend, let alone a husband, being rather skeptical about the concept of monogamy. However, Cameron proved to be a game-changer, making her a believer. The couple sealed their commitment on 1 May 2022, in an intimate wedding ceremony officiated by Lisa Kennedy, the host of Fox’s “The Kennedy Show.” They went to Santorini, Greece for their honeymoon, and currently reside in New York with their cat, Cheens, and dog Carl.
On Having Kids
Kat expressed her enthusiasm for the prospect of evolving and sharing the best moments with Cameron.

She now feels open to the idea, envisioning that it might happen in the coming years. Cameron’s positive influence has brought about a meaningful transformation in her life, and she describes it as the most wonderful feeling in the world.
Enamored By His Wife
Cameron rarely posts on his Instagram account, but it’s evident that he’s utterly captivated by his wife, as his recent content predominantly features her and captures their travels and special moments. Despite their hectic schedules, the couple carved out time for shared experiences, attending a NASCAR racing event at Michigan International Speedway, immersing themselves in the country life at Wilkens Fruit and Fir Farm, and relishing a tranquil picnic in Central Park.
His Instagram feed serves as a poignant testament to his deep affection for Kat. On her birthday in 2021, he expressed, ‘Nothing makes me prouder than to be your husband!’ The subsequent year, he penned a heartfelt message, acknowledging how his remarkable wife consistently impresses him with her creativity, humor, and kindness. Cameron went on to affirm that he’s become a better person because of her influence in his life.
Interesting Facts
A Big Lacrosse Fan
In a lighthearted series of tweets, Kat Timpf shared her playful rant at Cameron, as he wasn’t paying attention to her at all focus solely on watching lacrosse games. This amusing narrative unfolded during a flight to Montana, and persisted even after the plane touched down. Cameron’s love for lacrosse is unsurprising, given his history on the men’s lacrosse roster at the US Military Academy. Records indicate his active presence on the roster for a three-year period, from 2007 to 2009. His commitment to the sport began even earlier, as he held the position of lacrosse team captain during his high school years at Choate Rosemary Hall. Bob Simmons, lacrosse coach, recognized Cameron’s impact on the field, stating that the young athlete brought heart to the team, and was his biggest contribution.
Driving 12 Hours For His Wife’s Cat
In the “Gutfeld” show, Kat shared that she and Cameron don’t exchange gifts at Christmas, but he does something even better – he drives for 12 hours to get her cat to Detroit. This isn’t a one-time thing; he does it every single year, which is even more impressive. Apparently, the cat has a heart problem, preventing it from flying, and they can’t leave him with just anyone because he’s quite feral, and administering medication would be difficult. When someone called her out for it, she explained that she’s in the car with him; she just can’t drive. She also emphasized that it’s not selfish to care about an animal she rescued and has shown love for 13 years.
