He and Bouldan have been married for over two decades
Gershenson and Bolduan got married in May 2010 and have been together since then.
The couple was residing in the Washington D.C. area, but after Bolduan accepted the anchor position at CNN’s morning lineup, they moved to New York.
Bolduan keeps sharing adorable pictures with her husband. Back in 2021, Bolduan, on her birthday, shared the picture of her with beautiful flowers and captioned
“Matching my birthday flowers. That is some seriously impressive planning by the husband. Thanks babe!”
The couple shares two daughters
The couple is the proud parents of their two daughters. Their first daughter, Cecelia, was born in 2014, followed by another daughter three years later in 2017.
She took to her Instagram to share the happy news. “She’s here! Delphine Esther”, she captioned the picture of her newborn baby girl with her elder sister Cecelia.
During an interview with The Cut, Bolduan recalled her on-camera disaster where she completely leaked through one of her shirts while she was still breastfeeding.
She had forgotten her breast pads that day. She was interviewing a congressman when it happened and needed to get off camera quickly.
His mother-in-law was sentenced to a year in jail
His mother-in-law, Nadine Bolduan, was sentenced to a year in jail back in 2013 after nearly killing a man in a DUI crash. The incident occurred on the 31st of May, 2013.
She was driving her Chevrolet Avalanche while intoxicated when it collided with a Buick LaSabre, leading to the other driver’s serious injury.
According to the sources, the jail sentence came two decades after Nadine was charged with reckless homicide after her jet-ski struck two little girls, killing a 9-year-old and injuring a 10-year-old.
The case had been dismissed.
Kate was born the third of four daughters to her parents, Dr.Jeffrey Bolduan, and Nadine Bouldan, a nurse. She shares an incredibly tight bond with her parents and credits her success to them.
“My parents made me the person I am. My life, my ambitions, and my drive come from my parents. They’ve never pushed me in anything, they’ve allowed me to make my own decisions and my own mistakes”, she said in an interview.
About his wife’s career journey
Growing up, Bolduan was constantly fascinated with watching the news and understanding the truth about the world. She was inspired by some of the journalists like Joan Lunden and Katie Couric.
Boulduan believes their longevity and certitude in such a career paved the path for her in some ways.
When she graduated from high school, she realized she wanted to make a difference with her voice in the same way as Lunden and Couric did.
Bolduan graduated with Phi Beta Kappa from The George Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in political science.
She was a college athlete in Volleyball. While at college, she was an editorial intern for House & Garden Magazine.
After graduation, she worked for WTVD–TV in Durham, North Carolina, as a general assignment reporter.
Her dedication towards her work made her a production assistant for NBC News and MSNBC in Washington, D.C. in 2005. In 2006, she landed her first on-air job as an assignment reporter.
Bolduan joined CNN in 2007 as a national correspondent for CNN Newsource, where she provided breaking news coverage and feature reports for over 800 CNN Newsource affiliates.
The following year, she covered the presidential election and traveled throughout the United States, covering other national headlines that included the Minneapolis Bridge Collapse, the launches and landings of the retiring NASA space shuttle fleet.
She has since hosted State of America on CNN International and co-anchored New Day, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, and At This Hour with Kate Bolduan.
She was influential in covering the network’s historic coverage of the 2020 presidential election amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, where she reported live from the battleground of Pennsylvania.
Bolduna currently hosts CNN News Central and also CNN Max’s 5 Things with Kate Bolduan.
