Early Life
Katie Maloney was born on January 16, 1987, in Park City, Utah. She grew up with her brothers, Rock and Joey, who later became a photographer and director, respectively. Katie is the daughter of Teri Noble Maloney and Richard Maloney. She grew up in Utah and attended school there but was interested in becoming an actress from a young age. She decided to move to New York when she was 20 to pursue work in the entertainment industry.
Career
In 2008, Maloney appeared in "A True Story," a drama series that aired 15 episodes on YouTube. She also appeared in "Harper's Globe" and "American Cowslip." In 2010, she worked as a music supervisor and producer for the series "BlackBox TV."
Maloney's career in the public eye really took off in 2013 when she joined "Vanderpump Rules," a reality series on the Bravo channel that follows the servers and bartenders who work at the SUR restaurant in Los Angeles, which is owned by Lisa Vanderpump. Katie worked as a waitress at SUR and has been on the series since its debut in 2013. For the first season, Maloney and other cast members were paid $5,000 per episode on top of their earnings as servers. She later began earning more on the show.
While on the show, Maloney has been the center of various storylines and dramas. Her friendship with other waitresses like Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder was frequently depicted on the show. At one point, Katie gained some weight, which she was teased for by castmates Lala and James Kennedy. This led to a storyline about body-shaming.
Additionally, Maloney's relationship with Tom Schwartz has also been heavily followed on the show. The two had met during the first season and were later married. The ups and downs of their relationship were heavily covered on the show, as the two fought at times, and Schwartz was at one point accused of infidelity. After their divorce, the former couple's relationship was also a talking point on the show as the two tried to maintain friendly relations, given their large number of mutual friends and the interconnectedness of their lives.
In addition to being a featured cast member on "Vanderpump Rules," Maloney co-founded and runs the website "Pucker and Pout," a beauty, fashion, and lifestyle site. An episode in the fourth season of the show features the launch party of the business venture. After a few years, the brand largely shut down though.
As Maloney's stardom has increased, she stopped working at SUR but still appeared as a cast member on "Vanderpump Rules." The show still follows some of the prominent former workers of the restaurant, and Lisa Vanderpump has developed close personal friendships and relationships with many of them.
Katie has also been involved in other business ventures. She has partnered with one of her best friends, Ariana Madix, also of "Vanderpump Rules," to create a sandwich shop called "Something About Her." The shop was slated to open in May 2023 but lacked the proper permits and opened later in the year. The two friends can be seen discussing the idea in the later seasons of the show, and they planned a soft opening of the shop, which was depicted in the show's tenth season. Many scenes in season ten of "Vanderpump Rules" took place at the West Hollywood location of the sandwich shop as Maloney and Madix planned the menu, set up décor, worked with food stylists, and coordinated the official opening. Katie has stated that opening a restaurant like this has been a goal for a long time, as restaurant work has been in her blood since working at SUR.

In March 2022, the couple announced on Instagram that they had been separated for the last 12 months. Maloney then filed for divorce, which was finalized in October 2022. The former couple still share custody of one of their dogs but live in separate apartments after selling the homes they owned together.
After her divorce from Schwartz, Maloney began dating again and started a relationship with actor Satchel Clendenin. She was also linked to "White Lotus" actor Lukas Gage. However, their relationship was never officially confirmed.
