How did Kate McKinnon and Jackie Abbott Meet?
The exact date when these two met is sadly unknown but considering that Kate also graduated from NY University with a BA in theatre and attended many theatre troupes and comedy groups, maybe they met there.
Their first public appearance happened in 2017 at the Emmy Awards and they were seen passionately hugging after Kate received an award for her work on “Saturday Night Live.”
That same year a Drag Race judge, Michelle Visage, confirmed that Kate and Jackie are a thing in a photo he posted on his social media.
Kate and Jackie are very private about their life outside of work and they rarely share private information from their everyday life.
Kate is very vocal about her decision to stay private and share as little as possible from her personal life.
“At one point in my mid-20s, I just made a decision to stop posting everything about my personal life. I just didn’t feel as comfortable as before. From that point I always stayed true to my decision,” Kate said in one interview.
