Judging from Kaitlan's alleged presence on the exclusive dating app Raya, it is safe to assume she is not in a committed relationship.

Insights into Kaitlan Collins and Will Douglas' ultra-private romance
Collins and Douglas allegedly started dating in 2015. At the time, she was working with the news website The Daily Caller.
The duo regularly features on each other's social media profiles. However, in 2017, Kaitlan Collins deleted the pictures from her Instagram feed, sparking separation rumours. Neither party commented on their relationship nor confirmed the breakup.
So, when Collins began wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger in 2024, speculation sparked that Will had popped the big question.
However, in January 2025, Douglas shared pictures from his wedding ceremony on Instagram, putting any rumours of a possible relationship with Kaitlan to rest.
Who is Will Douglas?
According to Will's LinkedIn profile, Will is an alumnus of the University of Oklahoma. He is a certified pharmacist and owns several medical supply shops in Whitney, Dallas and Sulphur Springs, Texas.

In 2019, Douglas ran for the Texas 113th State House Representative under the Republican Party but lost to Democrat Rhetta Andrews Bowers.
He ran again in 2021 for the 2022 election but was forced to end his campaign early due to redistricting. On 20 October 2021, Will took to Instagram to share his future political aspirations despite the setbacks, saying:
Although my team and I are disappointed we will not have an opportunity for a rematch, this is not the end of our fight for a better Texas. So, we will wait, watch, and return when the time is right!
Exploring Kaitlan Collins' crush on Nick Saban: Is it real?
Kaitlan's Raya profile hinted that she could have a soft spot for the retired Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban, who is 41 years her senior.

Interestingly, she uses his snap as the header photo on her X (Twitter) account. In a November 2024 chat with AL.com, Collins expressed her desire to interview Nick someday, although her efforts to reach out to his team to make it happen were futile.
I would like to have a sit-down with him because of his wisdom. I am curious to hear his life experiences and understand his thought process.
She added:
Usually, I grill taxpayer-funded people, so an interview with Saban would be different. I would be more nervous to mess it up than anything else.
However, Kaitlan's admiration for Nick could be a humorous way to keep internet sleuths away from her love life. Saban is off limits; he has been married to Terry Constable for over five decades.
