‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Katie Bates Asks For Prayers

Katie recently took to IG to share a clip of herself asking for prayers from fans. According to the Bringing Up Bates star, she’s preparing for her first of four days of intensive therapy sessions, which also includes yoga and equestrian therapy. She went on to explain that she’s totally unprepared, and it’s something that is out of her comfort zone. But she believes it’s for the best, and many fans cheer for her.

• “I wish the very best for Katie and her two beautiful children. I pray that whatever decision she makes is the best for her and her children. She is very much loved, even by people she doesn’t even know. We are rooting for her.”
• “Praying for you and the kids.”
• “Sending prayers and knowing God is directing you in the deep intensive healing.”
• “Thinking of you and hoping that this is helpful to you!”

Fans Think Travis Had An Ulterior Motive

While Katie continues to receive support from fans, many are calling out Travis online. A new Bringing Up Bates discussion thread speculates that Travis may have had an ulterior motive all along. The OP believes he enrolled in a nursing school to get away from Katie, adding that he’s seemingly trying to financially secure himself to prepare for the escape.

The poster continued, “I think it has been very obvious he is not happy and I don’t think his religious status means as much to him as it does to other fungus husbands.” Many agree about the speculation, while others think Travis’ decision to study nursing is more of a jab to Katie, as it was her dream back then.

• “I think it he went to nursing as a jab at Katie since it was her dream.”
• “Yes. Travis knows his parents won’t approve of a divorce, so if he left Katie, Daddy’s checks would stop coming in. He needed a career where he could earn a living independent of the family cabal, and nursing is a great option.”
• “I think he thought it was a women’s profession, so therefore easy. He thought he’d breeze through and make decent money without a lot of work.”
• “Possibly. But he maybe also wanted to do it for his family then got presented with opportunity for infidelity and ran with it. Did we ever find out why he kept it a secret from his family in the beginning??”
