She shared updates on her TikTok page, “katiethenextchapter,” where her followers flooded her with questions about her unique relationship.

In one video, Katie answered many of the most common questions, giving curious viewers a glimpse into her life with her husband.

She said: “Okay, so many people seem to want to know when Danny is getting out of prison. Will I settle there? Are we going to live together? What are we going to do?

“Am I nervous? This isn’t going to work? So here is the plan as it is.

“When Danny gets out of prison, I’m going on a trip, on vacation.

“I’m going to spend time with him in the real world, we’re going to have fun and then I’ll go back to England.

“And I might take a few more trips like this.”

Katie explained that she would also be bringing her dog Pablo with her.

She continued: “If all goes well, we will then consider me moving there and going through an immigration process.

“Going through an immigration process takes about one to two years, so in that time I’ll probably still be back and fourth.

“There are several reasons why we want to do it this way. It just seems like the most sensible way to do things.

“I think it would be good for me to go there, spend some time, see how we get along, see how everything is in the real world.

“We will obviously stay in the same apartment or house during this time to see what life together might be like.”

Katie noted that Danny will also have “a lot of adjusting time to do” upon his release, as he has been in prison for a “long time.”

She also explained that while she “absolutely wants to be there to support him,” she “doesn’t want to stifle him.”

Katie continued by saying: “I also want him to have some independence. If he could do whatever he wanted, I would absolutely be there when he left.

“That’s what Danny would want.”

“You should also keep in mind that to go through immigration proceedings with an immigration lawyer, you will probably have to pay a total of around ten thousand dollars.

There are only two possible ways to achieve this and this applies to all relationships in the history of time.

“I just want to make sure I’ve taken the plunge and that we’ve tested the waters before I embark on this process. This represents a big change.

“If I went with my heart, I would absolutely jump in and do that, but your head has to come into play somewhere along the way.

“I’m not nervous or anxious that it won’t work.

“I’ve said throughout this whole thing that it’s either going to work or it’s not going to work. There are only two options.

“There are only two possible ways to achieve this and this applies to all relationships in the history of time. I’ve seen these relationships go both ways.

“Some succeed, some don’t. I’m not going to sit here and worry if it doesn’t work. If it’s not meant to be. This is not supposed to be the case.

“What is meant to be, will be.” However, I have a very good feeling about it. But no, I’m not sitting here anxious and worried that it’s not going to work.

“There’s no point in giving yourself an anxiety attack over nothing.

“But yeah, I hope that answers everyone’s questions about me moving there.

“It won’t be immediate and if it happens it will be after we’ve tested the waters and hopefully I’ll move in there and we’ll live happily ever after. Take out a few kids.

Her video gained a lot of attention and many people flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One of them asked: “What would you do for work?” Also, when you are waiting for a visa/green card, you cannot work. Would he work and support you both?

And Katie replied: “I would just be visiting to keep my current job, if we did a cr1 visa once I wanted to move I wouldn’t have to lose my job on the US side either.

“But he will work, yes.”

A second also asked: “Could/would he consider moving to England?” »

I also really want to enjoy the “meetings” and have a chance to miss each other too!

And Katie replied: “That’s not an option, as he’s been in prison for a prolonged period overseas he would have refused to move here, but if that had been an option we absolutely would have preferred that. “

While a third said: “It’s good for you to make sure you take it slowly to make sure it’s good for both of you.” »

And Katie replied: “Thank you!

“I also really want to enjoy the “meetings” and have a chance to miss us too! If we just jump right in and get married and live together and move out, it’s like we’ve missed that step, you know?
