"I went to New York, and I met Chris, and when I came home, I was like, 'Oh, I'm marrying this guy'. I was just like, 'You know what? I'm going to dive right into this'. I just jump in the deep end of everything I do. I just didn't think twice. Chris, like, completely opened that floodgate for me, forever, no matter how complicated the relationship got at one point. The most important moment for me was meeting him and him allowing me to understand what that felt like," she said on the Thursday episode of 'The World's First Podcast'.

Kate has said she is lucky to enjoy a happy co-operating relationship with her exes, Chris and Matt. 

"As much as I would say I don't recommend it to most, my situation is quite amazing. I was very lucky to have partners in my life, and everyone was a different circumstance, that we were able to figure it out. I do feel that when you divorce, you know, you're still in a relationship. It's just a different kind of relationship," she told the 'Divorce Sucks' podcast in 2019.
