Her 1st appearance was in a Marbella special in October 2015, during which she strode out in a bikini and instantly captured the audience’s attention. Because Kate grew up in Essex, she was already good friends with her co-stars Chloe Lewis and . However, not everyone loved her from the get-go, and drama started when she called her co-star a ‘dog’ before arguing it was all just banter. Even though Megan began fuming with anger, Kate shrugged it off as a joke.

She had also argued with Chloe Lewis after she noticed her flirting with her then-boyfriend Dan Edgar, and having learned that the two kissed years earlier. Besides that, her fanbase of viewers eagerly followed her life on-screen and was heartbroken when she left the TV show in January 2017.

In 2016, Kate also collaborated with an e-commerce brand Miss Pap to launch her ‘Party Picks’ collection for upcoming Christmas, which proved to be very successful. In early July 2019, she also launched a fashion collection in collaboration with Very UK.

Boyfriend / Spouse

Kate Wright has dated –

1. Dan Edgar (2010-2014; 2015-2016) – She met Dan on a holiday in Ibiza in 2010, and the two hit it off nearly immediately. They dated for about 3 years until 2014, when he left her to appear in the reality-TV series The Only Way Is Essex and began dating other co-stars such as and . When Kate joined the cast in 2015 herself, the two reconnected and were dubbed “the Essex Ken and Barbie.” Unfortunately, Dan’s best friend Jon Clarke had been calling Kate drunk and leaving voicemails. After Kate rejected him, Jon accused her of sleeping with one of his friends, which left Dan unsure of what to do and ruined his trust. Their relationship slowly deteriorated in 2016.
2. (2017-Present) – Kate quietly began dating a former England and Manchester United soccer player in January 2017. They met through a mutual friend at a BBQ party while on a holiday in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates in late 2016. He was there with sportsmen and Westwood Lee to watch the fireworks, and she was there with her friend Amber Dowding. However, she kept her relationship under wraps because Rio had lost his wife Rebecca 2 years prior to breast cancer and was a single father to 3 kids, sons Lorenz (b. 2007), and Tate (b. 2009), and daughter Tia (b. 2012). Rio had already received a blessing from his dying wife to find love again, and he also asked his 3 kids if he could ask Kate on a date. From April to September 2017, Kate made their relationship public by announcing she would stop appearing on the TV series The Only Way Is Essex. To explain the situation, Katie released a statement that said: “I’m taking a step back from the public eye, I want to keep my life private as I lived my previous relationship on Towie, my priority right now is Rio and the family.” In July 2017, the same month her boyfriend lost his mom Janice St Fort to breast cancer, Rio’s family also welcomed Kate into the family with open arms, and she shared a few pictures with his large family in Portugal. He was also happy, stating: “My relationship with Kate has helped in that they have got a female in the house now. Having that extra person in the house who is female, who has that softer touch, I think is vitally important for the kids.” Kate and Rio also went back to Dubai once again in mid-2017 later for a secret couples holiday. Rio also thanked her in his “Best Single Documentary” award acceptance speech at the BAFTA Awards event in May 2018. In November 2018, the pair got engaged after he proposed to her in front of his children in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. According to The Sun magazine, her engagement ring was worth around £400k. In 2019, she shared that both of her step-sons also dream of becoming soccer players as their dad, but find watching their dad on TV a bit weird. In an interview to the Metro magazine in June 2019, Kate said she was calm about wedding planning, even though she’s obsessed with organizing. Jokingly, she added that there was a small chance she’d become a ‘bridezilla’ in the last moment. Kate added that she already picked 9 bridesmaids and her step-daughter Tia as her maid of honor and that the wedding plans were well underway. The couple eventually got married on September 27, 2019.
