Katie Bates’ husband, Travis Clark, has finally admitted to cheating on her and is now seeking professional help.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 18, shortly after Bates announced that she had suffered a pregnancy loss, Clark revealed that he cheated on her and is now receiving help.
“It’s hard to write this, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. I had an affair and broke her trust over and over again,” he wrote.
Clark continued, “There is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my responsibility alone. I know that words cannot begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of the hurt I caused her life, but I am truly sorry.”
The 24-year-old nursing student from New Jersey went on to apologize to his wife for the “pain, humiliation and betrayal I have caused my wife through my choices.”
“I understand that an apology doesn’t fix what you broke, and that forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for,” he wrote and also revealed, “I take responsibility by getting help and doing the work to change and become a more honest, responsible man, no matter the outcome.”
“I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this matter in her own time,” Clark concluded with his name at the end of the post.
For those who don’t know, the couple, who first met in 2019 and started dating the following year, got engaged in April 2024 and married the same year in December.
It is worth noting that Katie Bates has two children, a daughter, Hailey James, almost 3, and a son, Harvey Gray, 1, with her husband, Travis Clay.
