Kat Dubrow is coming out!
Kat Dubrow, the daughter of Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow and celebrity plastic surgeon/Botched host Terry Dubrow, sat down with People Magazine to talk about her coming out.
She said she has the most supportive family, with Heather joining the interview to talk about how she initially missed Kat’s message telling her family she is lesbian.
“All I cared about was creating an environment where they all felt safe, comfortable, happy,” Heather told People. “Kat decided to drop in our family group text, ‘By the way, I’m a lesbian.’ I didn’t see it, and I was mad because the dogs pooped in the house, so I wrote back, ‘Who let the dogs poop in the house?’ It was a total mom fail, and they’ve never let me forget that.”

While Heather initially missed the message, she has been nothing but supportive since. “She’s asked me trillions of questions that really show she cares,” Kat noted. “She’s asked me about my pronouns. It’s really easy to talk to her. It’s not like I have to build up courage if I have something to tell her.”
Kat is not the first one to come out in her family. In 2020, the family’s eldest daughter, Max, came out as bisexual.

Raising Their Daughter Right
“We’ve got four kids, they are different genders, different sexualities, and all at interesting places in their lives, figuring out who they are and where they belong as humans,” Heather Dubrow said. “I felt like our purpose is to keep those conversations going in other families.”
“Coming out with your sexuality is something that broadly affects a lot of different people,” Kat’s father Terry added. “We just want people to realize it should be part of normal conversations.”
Kat’s coming out will be chronicled in an upcoming episode of Real Housewives of Orange County. “I was really stressed about it,” Kat explained. “But I’m really grateful that I have Max as an older sister, that she has already gone through all of this. Seeing my sister be so proud, and to see her be so comfortable with herself, it just makes me feel like I have nothing to worry about.”
Congrats on living your truth, Kat!
