CNN's Kaitlan Collins joins exclusive celebrity dating app Raya as her career scales new heights

WASHINGTON, DC: CNN's Kaitlan Collins is turning heads both on and off the screen.

While she’s obviously crushing it professionally, the word on the street is that the 32-year-old powerhouse newscaster is officially on Raya — the ultra-exclusive dating app where celebs and movers and shakers go looking for love.

Kaitlan Collins' profile on Raya

Kaitlan Collins' Raya profile comes with a cheeky bio that reads, "Nick Saban was taken"—a sly nod to the legendary (and very married) former college football coach. 

In a curated photo collection, the anchor sprinkles in her favorite shots from her Instagram. One snap features her glowing in a maroon one-shoulder dress, while another has her sipping on an Aperol spritz, incognito behind a chic pair of sunglasses.

Then there’s a work-mode photo of Kaitlan, mic in hand, serving serious journalist energy. Finally, there's also a candid pic of her walking six fluffy dogs, as per the Daily Mail.

"Kaitlan is hitting home runs in her career, and now she’s focusing on scoring on the singles scene," an insider spilled to Radar Online.

The last time Kaitlan was publicly linked to anyone was during her long-term relationship with Texas pharmacist Will Douglas. Now, after years of building her empire, sources say she’s more than ready to jump into the dating scene. 

An insider revealed that she was recently spotted commanding attention at the bar of a swanky Manhattan hotel. "She's ready for a fresh start," they said.

Dubbed the "Soho House of dating apps," Raya, founded by Daniel Gendelman in 2014, has earned its reputation as a playground for A-listers, Grammy winners, Olympians, and Instagram royalty. Notable users reportedly include everyone from Ben Affleck (remember that infamous DM?) to Cara Delevingne and even Channing Tatum.

The app’s allure lies in its exclusivity—if you’re not in, you’re on a waitlist, probably forever.

Kaitlan Collins' rise to the top and demanding workload on CNN

Born in small-town Prattville, Alabama, Kaitlan Collins graduated from the University of Alabama in 2014 with a degree in political science and journalism. She subsequently kicked off her career at The Daily Caller as an entertainment reporter.

But Kaitlan wasn’t destined to stay in the celebrity gossip lane. She pivoted to covering the 2016 presidential election, which led to her promotion as the outlet's White House correspondent. From there, CNN took notice, and she officially joined the network full-time in 2017.

Fast forward to today, and Kaitlan is not only CNN's chief White House correspondent but also the host of her own primetime show, 'The Source'.

"Kaitlan's not just looking for love. She's also looking for someone who can keep up with her career and help her navigate the social and political circles she thrives in," the insider spilled. 

Kaitlan’s career is taking her to Washington, DC, where she’ll split her time between grilling politicians by day and anchoring her show at night. It’s a major step up, but it also means her already packed schedule is about to get even crazier.

"With such a busy schedule, it's no surprise she wants help finding a date," the source revealed. "She wants someone, who understands her world and can be a real partner in every sense of the word."

Kaitlan’s journey, of course, hasn’t been without its hiccups. Her stint on 'CNN This Morning' was marred by a widely publicized clash with co-host Don Lemon, who was eventually fired from the network in April last year.

"She had a tough time when the show struggled. But she came out on top," the mole noted.
