Katrina Badowski Gets Married at the Vatican in Rome — Plus, the Special Story Behind Her Dress!
Just married.
Bachelor Nation first met Katrina Badowski when she looked for love on Season 24 of “The Bachelor.”
Since her time on the show, Katrina has been keeping followers updated with her life online and found love off-screen with partner Billie Rodriguez.
In 2025, she and Billie announced their engagement online and exactly one year later, the two officially tied the knot.
This past week, the newlywed couple got married at the Vatican in Rome, Italy!
Their videographer posted a highlight video sneak peek of the stunning nuptials and expressed the feeling of witnessing it in person.
“Just like Heaven 🤍Getting married inside St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican is exactly the level of grand that Billie & Katrina’s love deserves,” she said. “Every flare in these frames was naturally occurring, and I’m not at all surprised. It was almost as if the sun had been sent directly from heaven to shine over two beautiful people who have found a love for the ages.”
So beautiful!
The bride also shared that her wedding dress has a very special story behind it. In a new post online, Katrina revealed that she wore her mom’s wedding dress.
She shared a video that shows her mouthing, “You know how I always borrow your clothes?” Her mom is then seen saying, “Yes” before Katrina asks, “How about that one white dress?”
The video then cuts to Katrina and her mom hugging and smiling as they admire the gorgeous lace dress.
She said, “So thankful for these moments 🤍” and people filled the comments with their love and congratulations for the bride.
So beautiful! Congratulations to Katrina and Billie — we’re wishing them a lifetime of happiness together!
