Bringing Up Bates: Will Katie Bates & Travis Clark’s Move Be Permanent?

During the vlog, Katie Bates Clark revealed that they wouldn’t be selling their house in New Jersey. Instead, they’ll be putting it up as a rental home. Some Redditors also believe that the Bringing Up Bates stars’ move won’t be permanent since they’re just going to rent, though it’s unclear if they’re moving back to New Jersey or relocating to a different house in the future.

“Them not selling their house in NJ and only renting an apartment in Knox makes me think that this isn’t a permanent move.”
“I agree, I think they may move back to New Jersey if they had another one or two kids. When Travis mentioned them finding it hard to find an apartment/house in Tennessee to rent for six months /a year, I’m not sure, maybe 2025/2026 they’d move back to NJ or somewhere else like Florida?”
“they might of said to give it a year for trav to focus on the music, if he becomes successful in TN then make the move permanent.”
