There are rumors that ABC News anchor David Muir will marry his girlfriend Kate Dries
David Muir keeps his personal life out of the spotlight, but there was a big event that made a lot of people think he was going to settle down with a special person.
When an editor named Kate Dries wrote an article in which she said he was her boyfriend, people raised their eyebrows and held their breath.
In 2015, Jezebel published the article “Report Says My Boyfriend David Muir Is a Monster.”
In the article, Dries said that she and Muir went to Rome together and that they hit it off right away. Surprisingly, there were no other clues that the two were related, and the anchor didn’t say anything about it.
But David seems to be single right now and has no plans to get married. That doesn’t mean that he hasn’t been asked to marry a lot. On social media, his many fans are always telling him how great he is.
His work seems to take up most of his time, so he doesn’t have much time for his love life.
