This iteration also marked Kat’s last appearance on reality television.
Since then, the 39-year-old has dabbled into waitressing, bartending in Las Vegas, and even nursing. Kat returned to nursing school in 2017 and is now purported to be a registered nurse. While she still operates social media, she has decidedly kept all her details under wraps. Kat last appeared on Andy Cohen’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with her co-stars in 2020.

He is still engaged with work on the boat and regularly shares his journey with fans on social media.
