Before dating Harry, she had high-profile relationships with late Love Island co-star Sophie Gradon, who committed suicide in June 2019.
The mother-of-one found fame after appearing on ITV2’s Love Island in 2016, where she made history by pairing up with Sophie in the show’s first same-sex couple.
Reflecting on her life as a single mother of a child, Katie spoke of how she has “barely learned to manage on her own.”
Sharing a sweet post with her rare daughter, Thaiga, Katie wrote: “It’s actually true, flamingos lose their pink color during pregnancy and don’t get it back for a while.”
‘Motherhood is by far the most challenging and rewarding job I have ever had and I feel like now, after almost two years, I am just getting used to it and coping much more with being a single mother.
‘Raising a child alone or with help has its challenges, a whole little life depends on you. It took me a long time to get used to it.

‘But I feel very lucky and blessed to be in this moment compared to the first six months after his birth.
“I really struggled. Having my best friend and my baby by my side every day through the good times and the bad makes this journey out of life even more special to share with her.
‘So new moms, moms-to-be. Your rose will return, I promise; It gets easier and the hard times will pass or we will just learn to be more patient and remember that one day we will want to slow down this journey and do it all again.
‘You are a powerful woman who is doing a great job raising your little pup. Your baba appreciates you and loves you more than anything.

‘From being at a critical point in my life to finding hope and peace in the storm, I will not stop saying his name or what he has done with my life.
‘God is my savior and in a dark world, covered in evil people and pain, I want every soul to know that there is a way out, whether you understand it or not. There is hope and glory in his name.
“I want to be clear that this is not a post or trend to say how God stopped me from dressing provocatively, exposing my body online, or covering my face with makeup.”
Katie continued: ‘He didn’t stop me from doing anything, he just loved me the way I am and made me look at myself the way he looks at me.
‘I found that the relationship with the Lord Himself was not a religion but a deeper and more meaningful relationship. I want to honor him, his word and his people. Everything has changed in and around me, so my posts may have changed. My looks, my bank balance and my clothes BUT I am more me than ever.
‘Even on days when I don’t know what’s coming or why things happen in this world, I will praise you because you never leave me and you always love me even when I’m wrong. Thank you Jesus.’
