The billionaire bride who tried to bully a powerless namesake into giving up her Instagram handle has revealed she is pregnant in a series of touching pictures.
Influencer Katherine Asplundh’s pregnancy comes just seven months after she tied the knot to Pennsylvania billionaire Cabot Asplundh, 27.
On Sunday night, she and her husband posted a dozen photos shot around a small lake with Katherine’s bump clearly on display.
‘We already love you very much and can’t wait to love you forever and ever,’ Katherine wrote alongside in a caption.
The pictures saw the couple dress up in matching denim jeans with beige tops. In many of the photos, Katherine’s midriff could be seen revealing her bump.
Aside from the excitement of bringing a child into the world, it appears Katherine is also revved up at the prospect of being able to generate a lot more content with her newborn.
‘Love this lil bump of mine. Can’t wait to make it my entire personality’, she wrote in a story, suggesting that her forthcoming child will be a big part of her online presence.
This past summer, Asplundh was busy flaunting her wealth on TikTok in her first summer as a wife after the pair married in April with an extravagant reception in Palm Beach, Florida.

After she tied the knot with her husband – whose family is worth at least $3 billion thanks to their massively successful tree-trimming company – she set out to obtain her desired Instagram handle from an Instagram user who happens to share Katherine’s married name.
She badgered the woman to hand over the username with the resulting backlash forcing her to temporarily deactivate her Instagram.
Katherine still seems to have lost the Instagram handle war – with her account still being listed as katherinedrisc – short for her maiden name, Driscoll.
Her videos mostly show off her daily routine, with her making breakfast for her husband, doing yoga, sipping cocktails and admiring her expansive yard.
In one of her recent vlogs this past fall, she said her husband stayed home from work and was out doing yard work all day, which left her alone to go grocery shopping.
She showed off the sandwich she made and posed in front of the camera with Cabot as they ate lunch.
They then test drove a Ford Bronco, which can run from nearly $40,000 to over $90,000, before coming home to do more yard work.
More mundane tasks followed, including doing laundry and making dinner, but she ended the video with a trip to a frozen yogurt parlor.

Her TikTok account has a moderate following of 90,000, and Katherine’s videos have been known to get a slew of negative comments criticizing her, though there are also plenty of ardent followers who enjoy getting glimpses into her ritzy lifestyle.
A video posted in July 2023, she cataloged her and Cabot’s move from New York City to the country got a particularly poor reception.
In a voiceover, she said she was getting out of the city ‘to become a farmgirl like she was always supposed to be,’ adding that all she actually carried in the move was her ‘sweatshirts.’
She also proudly proclaimed that ‘we’re probably going to live here until we’re 95 years old and we’re probably going to die in the house.’
All of this was accompanied by breathtaking views of their home, their perfectly manicured property and their very own pond, complete with a dock.
Katherine and Cabot met in Prague while she was studying abroad and connected over growing up on the Jersey Shore.
Two years later, Cabot proposed to her in Mantoloking, New Jersey.
Their star-studded romance culminated in the Instagram profile naming controversy that severely damaged Katherine’s online reputation.
Katherine contacted the account owner of @katherineasplundh, a woman who goes by Kate, to ask if she could purchase her handle. Buying usernames is a practice that is in direct violation of the platform’s terms of service.
Kate refused and explained how she feared selling the username would get her ‘banned from Instagram’ – but this prompted Katherine to launch a tirade of seemingly entitled messages.
Kate then shared screenshots of the alleged exchange to Reddit, where it left users outraged.
The leaked DMs inspired people to take Kate’s side, with many creating dozens of fake accounts with various spellings of the billionaire’s wife’s name.
This meant that every possible username option that included her maiden or married name was now taken.
Katherine folded under this pressure and deleted her Instagram account, which had 14,600 followers at the time. She revived it in June using her old username, @katherinedrisc, created under her maiden name, Katherine Driscoll.

It seems she’s resigned herself to using her old name on Instagram, keeping it in the months after the initial drama.
She also didn’t appear to have benefited in terms of exposure from the username fiasco with the number of followers now falling to just over 15,200 followers on Instagram.
Katherine found herself in more hot water when internet users dug up an old TikTok of hers mocking new wives who can’t wait to update their name on social media, accusing her of being a hypocrite.
‘Something that low key bothers me is when girls get married and it’s not even like 10 minutes after they do their vows and they’re like ‘Oh! going on my Instagram! Let me change my last name already,’ Katherine said in the now-deleted post.
She then says she’s ‘probably going to wait a couple of months’ to change her name.’
‘I just think it’s a little bit a lot when I see girls change it before I even knew they were f***ing married, like chill,’ Katherine ironically explained.
