Katie recently took to IG Stories to share new clips and photos of herself taking out her son, Harvey, for a haircut. As usual, Travis is nowhere to be found. But many Bringing Up Bates fans were surprised to see Katie still wearing her wedding ring. A Reddit thread speculated it’s an indication that she and Travis are doing great in their counseling.

• “Katie said in her public statement that it’s her desire to preserve her marriage. Seeing her with her ring on is not shocking to see. She was raised to believe she has to stay, and is undoubtedly being encouraged by her church community and family to do so.”
• “So they are not getting a divorce. He’s just going to do it again unfortunately. I really hope she has good support from her sisters at least since her parents are not helping to get a divorce but who knows maybe she wants to try .. but What is the deal breaker for them to get a divorce..?”
