When Did Mike and Kat Stickler Get Married?

Mike and Kat Stickler became man and wife on May 2019. Many online sources have described the couple’s relationship as nothing short of a fairy tale. They met, dated, got wedded, and were expecting a baby within three months. It was a typical example of “marry in haste regrets at leisure.”

Barely six months after they tied the nuptial knot, Mike and Kat Stickler received their daughter, Mary Katherine, also known as MK. The little girl who announced her entrance on the 5th of November 2019 became a part of their social media content immediately.

Unfortunately, things did not work out for the couple as they announced their separation and divorce in March 2021.

The Truth About Kat Stickler’s Divorce From Mike

The couple never deemed it necessary to reveal the reasons behind their separation and divorce, but fans couldn’t help but speculate. Their joint statement saying that they decided to split because things did not work out left fans hanging. However, it was not up to one year after their split that tidbits started coming up.

Kat Stickler, who went ahead to launch another YouTube channel in January 2022, hosted fans on a Q&A session, and needless to say, she was bombarded with questions about their divorce. Initially, Kat seemed set to let the cat out of the bag but later remembered that she and Mike signed an NDA not to talk about why they broke up.

She explained the NDA as a means of protecting Mary Katherine’s privacy. On his part, Mike came closer to exposing what led to their split. He took to Instagram to narrate how they wedded at a very young age, had a baby almost immediately, and soon realized that they were far from a perfect match.

Kat Stickler’s ex-husband said their marriage turned toxic from then on. Though he never really hit the nail on the head, Mike suggested he was the culprit when he exonerated Kat from all blame, saying that he needed to work on himself.

How Did Fans Find Out About The Couple’s Divorce

By March 2021, Mike and Kat Stickler’s posts on TikTok became less frequent. The few videos would only feature Kat and baby MK without Mike. It later came in a trickle and then halted for two whole weeks. Fans were still pondering what went wrong when on the 17th of March, the couple took to TikTok to announce the end of their union.

A teary Kat was the one who announced their separation, saying that they decided to be transparent with fans because they (fans) have stood by them through their journey. Mike and Kat urged fans to respect their need for privacy at this time of their lives.

Fans who know the couple as unrepentant prankers took their separation announcement as one of their usual pranks. Some even went ahead to check Mike’s Instagram bio, and when they saw that Kat’s name was still present with the title, ‘love of my life, and ‘wifey,’ they concluded it was all a joke.

The joke became a reality when they saw the couple’s TikTok account undergo a major change where Mike’s name was removed, and Kat Stickler became the sole owner. Kat wasted no time erasing all references to her ex from her IG handle.
