Steven Rinella and Catherine Finch aka Katie Are Married For 14 Years
Steven Rinella and Catherine Finch got married in 2008 and recently celebrated their 14 year anniversary.
Finch is called "Katie" by her friends and family. The meeting of the couple was fate. Steven was looking for a relationship even though he had been through numerous failed relationships.
It was during his first book publishing when he first met Catherine over drinks. Catherine at that time was working as a new publicity director in New York. For Steven, it was love at first sight.
During that time, Catherine found him impatient while Steven couldn't keep his eyes away from her. As an adventure, the hunter had been looking for an outdoorswoman but love was such that he fell for her and had the determination to get her.
Though the couple was completely opposite of each other. While Katie belonged to the civilized world, Steven was a forest person. Steven even called Katie from a satellite phone to ask her out on a date.
The couple started to go out on a date and Steven proposed to Catherine in 2007 after a year of dating her. The couple married after 16 months on July 12, 2008, in Fennville, Michigan.
The duo went to Seychelles for their Honeymoon as Rinella thought that the place was a remote-island paradise.
It has been 14 years to the date that the pair has been married. The couple has been blessed with three children.
Catherine Finch and Steven Have Three Children
The pair have welcomed a total of three children. Catherine birthed her first child in 2010. Then, the Rinella couple received their second child in 2013 and their last child in 2015.
Their three children, two sons at the age of 12 and 7 and one daughter at age 9 are going well together in their home in Magnolia, Seattle.
Though the name of their children is not known to the general public. Steven has been careful with their exposure to the public and is protective of his kids. So, there are rarely any photos of them with their face clearly shown.
Katie Finch is Also Adventurous Like Her Husband
Katie Finch is as adventurous as her husband Steven. Though she is less frequent than her hubby.
Steven tends to post pictures of his wife sometimes going out on an adventure like him on his social media from time to time. Still not as much as Steven as going out on an adventure is his profession.
There have been a few posts on the hunter's Instagram where his wife is seen holding her catch of the day. Or she using a suppressed gun to practice her accuracy. Or she holding her fish line to get that game out of the water.
Still, Catherine seems to enjoy the bit of adventure with her husband. Well, that's one of their reason for a happy marriage.
