Bringing Up Bates alum Katie Bates had her husband Travis Clark’s back when he wanted to trade careers — just months before his affair scandal.
“Sharing a big life update ?❤️ We’ve had a lot going on behind the scenes, and we’re finally ready to share that Travis is in nursing school,” Bates, 25, wrote via Instagram in June 2025. “I couldn’t be more proud of him!”
She continued, “Since this all started last year, I’ve watched him work so hard, stay focused, keep writing and recording music, and pour himself into this new path all while still showing up for me and the kids in the most meaningful ways.”
Bates and Clark, 24, have been married since 2021 and share two kids.

“This decision came with a lot of thought and prayer, and we’re confident it’s the right step for our family and we’re so excited for what’s ahead,” Bates explained at the time, adding a note to their social media followers. “Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re truly so grateful you’re here with us!”
Months later, Bates expressed her gratitude for Clark and their family ahead of Christmas.
“Thank you for this life and the family you’ve given me, Jesus,” Bates wrote via Instagram in December 2025, including Clark in footage of her holiday celebration. “Hope you all had the best Sunday!”
Clark, who has also shared footage from his nursing school training and family life on his social media page, admitted his infidelity the following month.
“This is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife,” he wrote in a Saturday, January 17, social media statement. “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.”

Clark continued, “I’m sorry 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.”
According to Clark, he planned to take responsibility for his actions by “getting help and doing the work to change.”
“[I hope to] become a more honest and accountable man, regardless of [the] outcome,” Clark concluded. “I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this in her own time.”
Bates, who did not immediately publicly address her husband’s scandal, revealed hours earlier that she suffered a pregnancy loss.
“I will spend the rest of my life missing you,” Bates wrote via Instagram, confirming in a tearful video that she lost the baby.
Katie, one of Gil and Kelly Jo Bates’ 19 children, and Clark began courting in March 2020 after meeting through mutual friends. They got engaged in April 2021, tying the knot the following December. Katie later gave birth to daughter Hailey and son Harvey in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
