Per PEOPLE, her little one is due May 2023. "I am absolutely thrilled to become a mother," she told the publication. "It's something I've always hoped for so this is truly a dream come true!"

She added that "this is such a new and special experience, so I'm really being protective of what I share publicly" but noted that "there's just no hiding my baby bump any longer!"

In case you missed it, Kate shared some updates on her dating life when she was on hand at BravoCon 2022 when she was enlisted to interview Bravolebs for BravoTV.com. At the time, she revealed that she was single.

BTW, Kate will soon be back on your small screen in a new Peacock reality competition series The Traitors. The Alan Cumming–hosted series, which premieres on January 12, features 18 contestants coming together in a remote Scottish Highlands castle to complete a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize.

Kate is just one of the Bravolebs competing, including The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Brandi Glanville, Winter House’s Kyle Cooke, and Shahs of Sunset’s Reza Farahan.
