Catherine’s father, we’re sad to say, has passed away. The actress honored him in a January 2022 post, uploading a boomerang-style selfie of the two of them. “Today is bittersweet for me,” she wrote in the caption. “It’s the anniversary of my dad’s death, and I’m away from my family to start a new, exciting job. I was just telling a friend that I started getting bigger and better roles shortly after my dad passed. My mom says it’s because he’s now directly in God’s ear.”
She went on: “I wish I could share my successes with him, but maybe I wouldn’t have them without him. This is from our last Father’s Day together when he begrudgingly obliged to countless boomerangs w me. Thanks for harassing God for me, Appa. I love you.”

Now Catherine has a new beau — on ‘The Company You Keep,’ at least!
In April 2022, Catherine joined the cast of ABC’s The Company You Keep as Emma Hill, who falls for a con man named Charlie (Milo Ventimiglia). “While Charlie ramps up the ‘family business’ so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences,” ABC says in a synopsis of the show, which debuted on Feb. 19, 2023.

In an interview with Collider, Catherine said that Emma and Charlie “both lie for a living, and they’re both going through the exact same moment in their lives, respectively, when they meet.”
She went on: “It’s just that moment when you meet somebody and you can’t even explain it. It’s a gut feeling, where you just feel seen. It’s like, ‘Oh, OK, you get it and you get me.’ You just initially have that draw to each other that’s undeniable.”
