But their age gap wasn't a big issue for them as things were beautiful in the beginning. However, within the next couple of years, tables turned down, and the duo became one of the most controversial couples on the show and in the entire showbiz industry.

Kathryn and Thomas never married but dated on and off from 2014 till 2016. Ravenel, however, was married to his former wife, Mary Katy Ryan, whom he divorced in 1996 after three years of togetherness.

The pair broke up not long after the birth of their second child. And throughout their on-and-off relationship, both partners accused each other of allegedly committing infidelities and using drugs.
