Sam and Katie have been together since at least 2023, when she posted an Instagram post for his 26th birthday that read, “your huge heart, goofy energy, and ability to quote every movie you’ve ever seen are unmatched. happy 26th birthday, celebrating you is so easy!”

In July of this past year, they announced their engagement!

Based on Katie‘s Instagram, she’s a big supporter of Sam‘s, attending numerous games over the years to cheer him on.

She’s also apparently working as an account executive after graduating from the University of South Carolina in 2020. She majored in marketing!
