Kate Rorke left “Life Below Zero” after her divorce from Andy Bassich. She cited the breakup and a desire for a new start as reasons for her departure from the show.
Kate Rorke was a key figure in the early seasons of the National Geographic reality series “Life Below Zero,” which documents the lives of people living in remote areas of Alaska. She appeared on the show alongside her then-husband, Andy Bassich, as they navigated the challenges of living off the grid in the Alaskan wilderness.
However, after several seasons, viewers noticed Kate’s absence from the series. It was later revealed that Kate and Andy had divorced, and this personal change was a significant factor in her decision to leave the show. Kate expressed that the divorce was a difficult period in her life, and she chose to step away from the series to focus on her well-being and to start a new chapter in her life.
Since leaving “Life Below Zero,” Kate has kept a relatively low profile. She has not returned to the show and has instead chosen to live a life away from the cameras. She occasionally updates fans on her life through social media, where she has shared that she is doing well and is grateful for the support from her followers. Her departure from the show marked the end of an era for her, but it also allowed her to pursue a life that she felt was healthier and happier away from the harsh realities of living in the Alaskan bush.
