Bringing Up Bates star Katie Bates is reuniting with her sisters. She shared several photos and talked about the distance between them over the past year. Keep reading for the latest update and pictures she shared.

In December 2021, Katie married Travis Clark. After their wedding, they moved into their first home in New Jersey. Travis’ family lives nearby, so they have some family close. But this meant that Katie had to leave behind her parents and siblings in Tennessee. She’s one of 19 kids and most of them still live in the same area, so she’s always been around them.

As we reported, Katie Bates recently talked about how difficult the first months of her marriage were due to her being homesick. It sounds like it was quite an adjustment. She made frequent trips to see her family whenever possible.
