Relationship Status: Single?
The stunning CNN reporter, who stands at a height of 5 feet and 8 inches (1.73 meters), is not married.
Kaitlan was rumored to be dating Will Douglas, the owner of Crimson Care Pharmacy Care, in 2015. Her Instagram posts undoubtedly hinted at her relationship with the handsome business owner.
However, from 2016 onwards, the couple kept their dating life under wraps, even on social media. Meanwhile, there isn’t a single photograph of them in Kaitlan’s internet gallery.
As a result, many of their fans and followers have made assumptions about their breakup. However, such resolution may be premature until all parties involved have had their say.
Professional Life And Career
After almost a year on CNN, Kaitlan’s career went through its most turbulent period to date. She was barred from covering an open press event at the White House Rose Garden in July 2018.
The ban was imposed due to her allegedly “inappropriate” questions to US President Donald Trump. The inquiries concerned Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen.
Many people were unhappy with Sarah Sanders, Trump’s advisor, Kellyanne Conway, and Bill Shine.
As a result, it was clear that CNN, other journalists, and media outlets were on Kaitlan’s side, describing the action as a violation of press freedom.
Kaitlan, who is known for her fierce questioning abilities and strong personality, is frequently surrounded by criticism as well as petty acclaim.
She began as a freelance blogger and writer, and she is now a well-known name in the industry. Her long hours in the business must have resulted in commendable financial independence. For the time being, her exact net worth is unknown.
According to payscale.com, a CNN correspondent earns a base estimated salary of $147K on average.
With the contributions Kaitlan has made to the network, it would be fair to say she earns a good living.
