‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Katie Bates Went Out With Sisters

Katie recently took to IG to share clips and pictures from her beach trip with her sisters. Many Bringing Up Bates fans were glad that Katie had a much-needed break amid all the heartbreaks she’s been going through. According to Katie, she’s becoming more grateful to create memories with her family as she gets older. She wrote, “Girls beach trip dump 2026. The older I get the more grateful I am for these moments. Trying not to take any of it for granted and just soak up the memories.” Many were also stunned by how beautiful the Bates sisters are, while others hope Katie will continue to heal.

• “You all look refreshed and happy, much needed for all of you.”
• “Love these pictures!!! Y’all are all absolutely stunning!!! I love the bond y’all share and have together.”
• “So glad you had such a great vacation away with your girls. Praying for healing for you!!!”

Travis Snubbed By Bates Family On Special Day

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed the awkward silence of the Bates family on Travis’s birthday, which happened on March 8. Kelly Jo usually posts long messages on IG for whoever celebrates a birthday, even for her in-laws. But she didn’t say anything about Travis, making fans think that they still haven’t forgiven him for cheating on Katie. On the other hand, Katie went home before Travis’ birthday, but she hasn’t shared anything on social media either. This led to speculations that nobody from the Bates family celebrated Travis’s big day.

• “I do feel bad for Katie. Yes we all think she will stay with him. She will be the only single mom in her core group of people she is close to. And they all showcase how “happily” married they are & “perfect” lives. I would love one of these couples to show their struggles for once. My only advice if she decides to leave him…. Remember you are breaking a generational cycle for your son.”
• “This is exactly what he’s deserved. Plus, you can’t expect KJ to post a fake bday post about how he’s so wonderful when clearly right now he’s vile.”
• “His own sister and brother have posted a story but I think that’s it. That being said even they have just posted generic things, nothing to praise him as a person so at least they aren’t hyping him up. Not sure about any of his other family?”
• “Happy Birthday Travis. You are an amazing cheater and liar. You sure had us fooled. Who knew that evil could exist in such a Tesla driving, vacuum back pack wearing Godly man? Our precious Katie will receive encouragement and counseling to forgive your cheating ass.”
