How did Katelynn Ordone meet her boyfriend?

According to Katelynn, the pair originally connected at Preston’s memorial baseball tournament. The meeting was made possible through their respective family members' involvement on the field. Katelynn pointed out that her new boyfriend's son plays on the exact same baseball team as her younger brother. The update comes after a deeply tragic period for the family. Reports surfaced in April 2025 that two-year-old Preston had died following a single-vehicle car crash. Both Katelynn and her then-husband, Jaelan Ordone, were traveling in the vehicle at the time of the wreck and sustained injuries. Meanwhile, the couple's daughter, Paisley, was away at school when the accident occurred.

One month after the crash, the St. Tammany Parish coroner’s office released official findings regarding the incident. Authorities reported that Preston passed away from blunt force injuries caused by the motor vehicle crash, formally categorizing the young boy's death as accidental. In addition to dealing with the loss of her child, Katelynn also experienced major shifts in her marriage. She later confirmed her divorce from Jaelan, detailing the end of their relationship. Court records indicated that Katelynn listed her date of separation from Jaelan as June 15, 2025. Legal documents filed in December 2025 stated that the estranged spouses had not reconciled or lived together since their initial split. A judge subsequently denied a default judgment in the divorce case in April.
