Raising Bates star Katie Bates she works to save her marriage after her husband Travis Clark‘s cheating scandal.
Bates, 25, took to her Instagram Story on Monday, March 2, to give an update after seeking professional help, writing, “I just had a four-day intensive treatment. Sometimes I might share more, but for now I’m very grateful for the experience and what I’m going with.”
The reality star revealed that she spent the past few days in “individual and couples therapy” with Clark, 24.
He commented: “It was difficult, emotional. But it was also one of the most meaningful experiences in my life.”
Bates recently revealed that she was trying to work through her issues with Clark. “I wanted to come here and say something but I honestly didn’t know how to put words to this,” Bates wrote on Instagram last month. “This year didn’t start the way I thought it would. It was very difficult and emotional in ways I wasn’t prepared for. Some days I feel good and strong. And some days it’s hard to even leave the house.”
Bates admitted that he had trouble moving on from Clark’s infidelity.
“I want to say thank you though, the love, prayers and messages I’ve received mean more than I can explain. “I’m getting ready to go to my first four day clinic. I don’t really feel equipped to handle something like this on my own, so getting help feels important. I know I can’t be good at anything else if I don’t work healthily at this.”
In her lengthy social media post, Bates explained what inspired her decision to fight for her relationship.
“Being a mom to Hailey and Harvey and getting little bits of normal life back has been a huge foundation for me. “I don’t know how much I’m going to share as I go through all of this or what it’s going to look like, but I wanted to say thank you for the kindness and the kindness you’ve shown me. It really means a lot.”
Bates has given glimpses into her marriage to Clark since they tied the knot in 2021. The couple then expanded their family with children Hailey and Harvey in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In January, Bates revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage, which happened to be the same month that Clark went public with his infidelity.
“It’s hard to write this, but I owe you the truth and I have to apologize. I wasn’t faithful to my wife. I had an affair and broke her repeatedly. There is no excuse for what I did,” he wrote on Instagram in January. “This was my failure and my responsibility alone. I know words don’t begin to express the damage I caused or the deep pain I brought into his life, but I am truly sorry.”
Clark stressed the importance of his “accountability” for his mistake.
“I apologize for the pain, humiliation and betrayal I caused my wife with my decisions,” he added. “I understand that an apology does not fix what I have broken and forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for.”
He concluded by saying: “I take responsibility for getting help and doing the work to change and become an honest and trustworthy man, no matter where it is. [the] the result. I am asking for privacy and kindness from Katie as she processes this in her own time.”
