She thanked Matthew Rodgers for the celebration he conducted, and also expressed her love towards him, by saying that she loves him to the moon and back from moon. She didn’t five any information about their wedding, but was seen flexing her engagement ring, along with holding her boyfriend’s cheek.
It is evident that the couple was really happy and excited about the coming marriage. The American actress known for her appearances in the shows ‘Arrows’ and ‘Supernaturals’ and the renowned businessman tied the knot on December 2018, in a lavish ceremony at Sunset Key, Florida. The celebrated wedding was star studded and also had really luxurious arrangements.
Katie Cassidy had relationships with Jerry Ferrara, Jason Garrison, and Jesse McCartney prior to that with Matthew Rodgers. Even though the wedding was done in year 2018, some newspapers had released the documents stating that the couple got married in 2017, a year prior to the date in which they got married, after making announcement about the same to the public. However, both the parties never responded to the same.
The couple appeared in a number of award ceremonies and public functions, which made the fans and critics praise them as the power couples or ideal couples. It became a sudden shock to the fans of the celebrity couple, when Cassidy announced through her social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram and twitter that they are going to get separated. She filed for divorce against Matthew Rodgers on 8th January 2020 at the Los Angeles Superior Court, which was about 13 months after their marriage.
