Bringing Up Bates' Katie Bates Clark may have just shared her first photo with husband Travis Clark since he admitted to being unfaithful in their marriage.
On Monday, Feb. 2, the 25-year-old shared pictures of a recent trip to Disney World with her children Hailey, 2, and Harvey, 1, to Instagram.
While none of the photos showed Travisās face, one image appeared to show Katieās daughter holding her hand alongside that of a man wearing a wedding ring. Fans on Reddit quickly speculated that the mystery man was indeed her husband.
"That is Travisās hand and the hoodie š¤£," one fan wrote. "It is him I looked on his [Instagram] and he wears a ring on both hands." commented another.
"It's Travis for sure with wedding ring prominently featured," added a third. "This is a deeply sad situation."

Travis confessed to his infidelity via Instagram Story on Saturday, Jan. 17.
āThis is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. I had an affair and repeatedly broke her trust,ā Travis wrote. āThere is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my responsibility alone.ā
āI know that words donāt begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of the hurt Iāve brought into her life, but I am truly sorry. Iām sorry for the pain, humiliation, and betrayal I caused my wife through my choices,ā he continued. āI understand that an apology doesnāt repair what I broke, and forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for. I am taking responsibility by getting help and doing the work to change and become a more honest and accountable man, regardless of outcome. I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this in her own time.ā

On Monday, Jan. 19, two days after Travis publicly admitted to his extramarital affair, Katie issued a response of her own via Instagram.
āThis is not how I imagined beginning this year or this new season of our lives. This has been an incredibly painful time for me and for our family,ā Katie began her post. āAs many now know, our marriage has been deeply hurt and my trust has been broken. Right now, I am taking life one day at a time and focusing on what matters most: our children, their future, and my own healing.ā
āWe are working through this privately, seeking counsel both together and individually as we try to determine the best path forward for our family. I am also being supported by legal counsel,ā she added. āThis is not a quick or easy process, and it is not one I am taking lightly. Every decision about our future will be made slowly and carefully, with what is best for our family and our children as the highest priority.ā
The mom-of-two added that it was her "heartās desire" is to "preserve" her marriage.
