The expectant mom admitted how thrilling it felt to take on motherhood, something she had always hoped for. Hence, the icon considered her pregnancy a dream come true.
Explaining why she kept the pregnancy a secret for months, Kate admitted she was simply being careful about what she made public, as being pregnant was a special experience for her. However, with her latest stints on upcoming shows, Kate Chastain found the courage she needed to disclose she was pregnant. She explained:
“I’m really being protective of what I share publicly, but with new episodes of Below Deck Galley Talk about to air on Bravo after Christmas and The Traitors premiering on Peacock on Jan. 12, 2023, there’s just no holding my baby bump any longer.”
While Kate Chastain failed to unveil the identity of her baby’s dad, she most recently dated Below Deck castmate Josiah Carter. Since their break up, the icon, whose dating history comprises many men and women, has not publicly identified with a new romantic partner.
