Who is Kedon Slovis’ Girlfriend, Katherine McKay?

Katherine (Kate) McKay built her reputation as a highly dependable defender for the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) soccer team, wearing jersey number 19.

Hailing from an athletic family (her brother, Sam McKay, was a college golfer), Kate was born on November 1, 1999, to parents Lorne and Edwina McKay. Throughout her career, she was the definition of a great student-athlete, balancing her skill and discipline on the field with a strong commitment to academics.

Today, she remains in the public eye primarily because of her past relationship with former Pitt football quarterback Kedon Slovis. While the pair were a couple during their time at Pitt, it is currently unknown if they are still dating.

How did Kedon Slovis and Katherine McKay meet? 

This is more like a speculation. Still, there’s a strong possibility that the relationship between former Pitt football quarterback Kedon Slovis and soccer player Katherine McKay dates back to their high school days. Both athletes hail from Scottsdale, Arizona, and attended Desert Mountain High School. Given their shared school and hometown, it’s reasonable to speculate they met there and have been a couple since. Kedon Slovis’s decision to transfer to Pitt was probably influenced by a few things.

A major draw was playing for a successful team that had just seen quarterback Kenny Pickett become a Heisman finalist. However, another strong factor was the chance to be reunited with his girlfriend, Katherine McKay, on the same campus. While the connection between the two seems clear, personal details about their relationship remain private. We don’t have confirmation on exactly when or how they met.

What does Katherine McKay do for a living? 

Katherine McKay’s collegiate journey began in 2018 when she started playing college soccer at Elon University. After one season, she transferred in 2019 to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), where she became a steadfast presence for the Panthers.

As a defender for Pitt, McKay was known for her reliability on the field, playing with the team through the 2021 season. Her dedication wasn’t limited to athletics, however; she was also an exceptional student.

As per reports, after enrolling at Pitt in 2019, McKay’s academic success naturally led to her graduation. She has since transitioned her focus to the field of medicine, working as a part-time researcher at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. According to reports, she held this research position for two years, continuing until 2024.
