Katie, one of Gil and Kelly Jo Bates' 19 children, began courting Clark in 2020 after meeting through mutual friends one year prior. "Travis and his family are active in their local church and also travel together to sing, so our families have been able to visit at nearby concerts and church events," Katie exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2020.
