‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Travis Clark’s Family Continues To Support Katie Bates

While Travis remains silent on social media, Katie has been sharing advertisement clips and adorable content with her children. But what caught the attention of many Bringing Up Bates fans was how many of Katie’s posts today are flooded with positive comments from Travis’s family. This led to speculations that they’re siding with Katie, while others believe it’s an indication of how they don’t want Katie to let go of Travis.

A Reddit discussion thread previously discussed a clip in which Travis opened up about being overwhelmed as a 24-year-old father. He also expressed missing his past life in New Jersey. This made some people assume that Travis’ family forced him to marry Katie.

Fans Hope Gil Changes His Beliefs For Daughter

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on Reddit discuss why Gil should change his beliefs for his daughter, Katie. According to the OP, they’re aware that Katie is one of Gil and Kelly Jo’s favorite daughters. Due to this, seeing her getting cheated on will definitely break Gil and Kelly Jo’s hearts. The poster hopes Gil will make adjustments to his views on infidelity and start putting responsibility on the cheater instead of the victim.

This may also be a wake-up call for Gil to avoid premature marriage with his remaining kids. At this point, Travis and Katie are undergoing counseling. They’re still willing to fix their marriage for the sake of their kids. But many Reddit users believe Travis is the one who wants to get out of the marriage.

• “I never considered the possibility that he is the one who will not want to continue the marriage and now I can see it. This is his out. This way he can live the life he wanted.”
• “Cheating starts in the heart. I don’t see him doing all of this, getting caught or fessing up, not showing true remorse or love for his wife and kids, only to stick around. Only time will tell.”
• “I’m curious how easy it is to date as a single mother in these circles? Everything I see about conservative dating sights is no single mothers, no degrees, and must be submissive.”
• “If Katie and Travis do divorce, I see him moving back to New Jersey and her staying in Tennessee. Most likely, Katie would have custody of Hailey and Harvey while Travis would see them on Christmas, Easter, and during a longer period in the summer.”
