Kate Rorke-Bassich joined the shipwrecked Life below Zero in 2013 but left the show after 43 episodes in 2015. In Season 10, Kate ended her marriage to husband Andy Bassich, and also made her final appearance on the popular National Geographic show in the episode “Out of Control”.
Although Kate herself did not elaborate on why she left the show, it is believed that her marriage to Andy had something to do with her departure. In August 2017, Kate posted a retrospective about her ex-husband, writing, “Little did I know that just days after taking this photo, I would meet a sick person who would change my life… not for the better.”
Kate is married to Andy Bassich, who is not originally from Alaska. She met Andy Bassich in 2003. As part of a tour group, Kate traveled to Dawson City. In the same group, she met Andy. They went on a few dates, fell in love, lived in the same city, and eventually got married.
Andy and Kate officially separated in 2015. The divorce was finalized and Kate moved out a year later, ending her appearances on the Nat Geo series. Kate Rorke-Bassich currently resides in Carbonear, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and is enjoying her life.
