“This has been probably the most difficult decision we have made as a family. It’s been an incredible ride. THANK YOU HOUSTON. You have been (and always will be) home, you believed in us and helped us make our dreams come true,” Kat wrote.

“From the first pitch to the final out, every moment here has been unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the fans, teammates, friends that have become family, and the countless memories. Thank you for everything. Houston, you have our hearts. 🫶🏻🏆#HomeSweetHouston”

Kat also shared photos from the 2022 season when the Houston Astros won the World Series. In one photo, Kat can be seen posing with Ryan while in another, the couple is hugging and kissing as they celebrate the World Series victory.
