She continued, “Since it all started last year, I’ve seen him work so hard, stay focused, keep writing and recording music and pour himself into this new path, while still showing up for me and the kids in the most meaningful ways.”
Bates and Clark, 24, have been married since 2021 and share two children.
“This decision came with a lot of thought and prayer, and we’re confident it’s the right step for our family and we’re very excited for what lies ahead,” Bates explained at the time, adding a note to her social media followers. “Thank you for being a part of our journey.

“It’s hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife,” he wrote on Saturday, January 17, on social media. “I had an affair and broke her trust repeatedly. There is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my only responsibility. I know words don’t begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of hurt I’ve caused in her life, but I’m so sorry.”
Clark continued: “I am sorry for the pain, humiliation and betrayal I caused my wife through my choices. I understand that an apology does not fix what I broke and forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for.”
According to Clark, he planned to take responsibility for his actions by “getting help and doing the work to change.”
“(I hope) to become a more honest and responsible man, regardless of (the) outcome,” Clark concluded. “I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this in her own time.”
