Bringing Up Bates alum Katie Bates is clearing up rumors that she and husband Travis Clark are expanding their family after reconciling following his affair scandal.
During a Saturday, September 5, Instagram Story Q&A session, Bates, 25, acknowledged that she received “lots” of questions about whether she is pregnant.
“No, I’m not pregnant,” Bates clarified. “[I’m] just soaking in the two sweet babies we have.”
Katie, one of Gil and Kelly Jo Bates’ 19 children, has been married to Clark, 25, since 2021. The couple are parents to daughter Hailey, 3, and son Harvey, 23 months.
Katie announced in January that she suffered a pregnancy loss with what would have been the pair’s third child. The next day, Clark publicly apologized for his infidelity.
“This is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife,” Clark wrote via his Instagram Stories at the time. “I had an affair and repeatedly broke her trust. There is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my responsibility alone. I know that words don’t begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of the hurt I’ve brought into her life, but I am truly sorry.”
Katie and Clark have since been working through the nursing student’s cheating scandal and attending couple’s therapy.
“I’ve been sitting in what I did for a couple months now, and I feel so much inside but it’s hard to find the right words,” Clark wrote via Instagram in March, addressing the scandal. “At the end of last year, I made decisions I deeply regret. I’m disappointed, ashamed, and honestly, disgusted with myself.”
He continued at the time, “The last couple months have been humbling. A lot of hard work, therapy, time with God. I know I’m not owed anything, but I am desperately fighting for my wife and my family every single day.”

Amid their reconciliation, Katie and Clark relocated their family of four to Texas while reprioritizing their relationship and shared faith.
“On June 28th, 2026, I finally stopped running. I gave my life to Jesus and began a new life in Christ. Today I was baptized,” Clark wrote via Instagram last month. “To be honest, most of my life I’ve been running and chasing and I didn’t even realize it. I had an amazing life, a beautiful wife and family I loved, opportunities, money, a career, and somehow I was still deeply empty after reaching so many of the things I thought would fulfill me. In December of last year, I woke up frustrated, confused, exhausted, and started questioning almost everything I had ever believed.”
Katie replied, “Love you.”
