Katie Feeney Seems to Have Already Moved on From Sean Yamaha

While some people wander around seeking their true love for decades, for Katie Feeney it was no less than a walk in a park as she had already found her soulmate, Sean Yamana in kindergarten, at least that's what she thought. It may surprise everyone that Feeney had a crush on her boyfriend, Sean Yamaha all her life. However, it was Yamaha who confessed his love first.

They went to the same kindergarten and basically grew up together but, started dating only during their high school. Sean finally asked her to date in April 2018 just after they went on their official movie date together. The lovebirds were stronger than ever for over three years, even deciding to have seven kids together in the future, but none of them was to be.

While fans were eagerly for these childhood lovers to get married soon, faith took a turn and they eventually broke up in 2022. Even though the former lovebirds have not revealed the actual reason for their split, Feeney did confirm their break up in her short Q&A video. Besides, there have been different speculations about their break up such as one being that the ex-lovers could not handle long-distance relationships, and another is that Sean basically cheated on Feeney.

What shocked fans the most is that within the few months of the break-up, the Commanders' social media correspondent has already found a new boyfriend. Well, she is yet to officially introduce her new lover to her fans, but Feeney did show a glimpse of her new boyfriend in a YouTube short with the caption, "I'm never dating again, then he comes along".
