What Does Kat Stickler Do for a Living?
Kat became famous via social media doing comedic TikTok and YouTube videos. Those initially began when she was still married to ex-husband Michael Stickler. The pair started their TikTok account in May 2020, shortly after they welcomed daughter Mary-Katherine, or MK as she's nicknamed.

There's a lot of things that I need to work on in my own life and get in order. Again, if you could, please respect our privacy, respect us as individuals as we attempt to navigate this process."
Kat went on to carve out a successful solo career on TikTok, with 10.3 million followers as of April 2024. Her YouTube channel has 439,000 subscribers, while her Instagram page boasts 1.9 million followers.

The following month, some followers figured out the mystery man's identity as Cameron Walker and Kat made her boyfriend Instagram official in December 2021.
Kat announced their split in August 2022, saying she was too quick to enter into a new relationship after her marriage ended.
"Some of you may have noticed I have taken a little bit of a step back from social media the past couple of months. And a lot of you guessed it because you are very smart and observant, but Cam and I have decided to take a break," she told followers.
Kat added, "For me right now, I needed to process things, which I did not really give myself the grace to do after my divorce ... I am honestly trying to do the best I can."
