Sports are a huge part of Kathryn Tappen's life, so it isn't surprising that her ex-husband was a professional athlete. According to The New York Times, Tappen tied the knot with former National Hockey League player Jay Leach in 2009 after meeting him while she was working as a broadcaster.
Though the couple had hectic jobs, they were able to make it work for a while. Tappen told Telegram & Gazette, "We've always found a way to make it work," Tappen said. "We both love what we do and we are very passionate about what we do and we know that the window of opportunity is not there forever. We've worked really hard to get where we are in our careers and we appreciate that about each other."
Leach has had a successful career in the National Hockey League (via Black N' Gold Hockey). He's played for teams like the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, and San Jose Sharks. Now, he is working as an assistant coach for the leagues' newest team, the Seattle Kraken.
While the reason behind their 2014 divorce has not been made public, it seems the pair had a loving relationship before they chose to separate (via eCelebrity Facts). Now, it appears Tappen is single.
