Katie Morton's Friends Shower Her with Love on Her 28th Birthday
Katie Morton might not be able to celebrate her birthday with a big crowd, but that doesn't mean she didn't feel the love from Bachelor Nation.
Katie turns 28 on March 26, and she rang in the day by sharing some of her "favorite people, places, & mems" on Instagram from the past year. These include a photo of her and Hannah Godwin at the beach, a video clip of her best friend Demi Burnett sniffing Katie’s armpit on "The Bachelor," Katie frolicking in the water at sunset, and more.
The birthday girl's friends showered her with affection and love in the comments section. Hannah wrote, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU RAY OF SUNSHINE! love you!!"

Hannah Ann Sluss added, "Happy birthday! Katie, I hope this is your best year yet."
Blake Horstmann, Ashley Iaconetti, Kirpa Sudick, and more also sent their best wishes to her.
Demi also posted a photo of the two of them and captioned it, "Happy birthday Queen!!! You’ve made me such a better person :) I couldn’t do life without you!!! You is my best frand xx"
Age 27 proved to be quite the eventful year for Katie. After appearing on Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor," she looked for love on Season 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise." She found it with Chris Bukowski, and they got engaged on the season finale.
While in "Paradise," Katie also lent a friendly and loving ear to Demi amid her coming out.
On October 10, Katie and Chris announced in a joint statement that they ended their engagement. They wrote, "We have chosen to love and respect each other as friends because that’s the base of our relationship, and it’s what is most natural for us. We are incredibly thankful for the support we’ve received from our family, friends and everyone who supported us throughout our journey - from paradise to this moment."

Katie added a new man to her life in December: her adorable dog Bear. In January, she and Demi traveled all over Rome and other parts of Italy for the vacation of a lifetime.
Happy birthday, Katie!
