They dated from 2018 to early 2020 when Katie suddenly broke it off. However, Ryan explained in a video uploaded onto the reallilaizy.com website that the two were sleeping in the same bed and in an attempt to pull Katie closer to him, he grabbed her boobs and touched her between the legs unintentionally, which led to their split.
