Katie Bates’ Husband Reveals He Cheated and Is ‘Getting Help,’ 1 Day After Bringing Up Bates Couple Announced Pregnancy Loss

Katie Bates’ husband, Travis Clark, revealed that he cheated on her and is seeking help, a day after the Bringing Up Bates couple revealed they suffered a pregnancy loss.

Clark, 24, shared the confession on his Instagram Stories on Saturday, Jan. 17, one day after Bates announced the couple lost their third baby.

“This is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. I had an affair and repeatedly broke her trust,” he wrote in a post.

“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,” Clark continued.

He then apologized for “the pain, humiliation, and betrayal I caused my wife through my choices.”

“I understand that an apology doesn’t repair what I broke, and forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for,” the musician said. “I am taking responsibility by getting help and doing the work to change and become a more honest and accountable man, regardless of outcome.”

“I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this in her own time,” Clark concluded, signing off his message with his name.

Bates’ brother, Lawson Bates, seemingly alluded to Clark’s confession through an Instagram Reel that said, “One day, someone might tell your kids… ‘You’re just like your dad.’ Make sure it’s a compliment, not an insult.”

Bates and Clark welcomed their first baby, daughter Hailey James, in February 2023. Their second child, son Harvey Gray, joined the family in September 2024.

Bates and Clark met in 2019 and began dating the following year.

The couple later got engaged in April 2021, and they then tied the knot that December.

The reality star announced that she and Clark suffered a pregnancy loss in an Instagram video on Jan. 16.

“I will spend the rest of my life missing you 🪽,” Bates captioned the post.
