Kate Riley was born in California, USA, where she grew up always wanting to be an actress. She moved frequently from place to place when while growing up, this made her see the world and get a better idea of how it functions. In this regard, she was way matured than the children of her age. Her father was of American ethnicity and her mother was from England. This made her culturally diverse and so she grew up knowing two cultures which again was an advantage over other people. She spent her childhood days in Hongkong, Cameroon, England, and America.
She did her schooling from Ipswich High School for Grils which is located in Chelsea, England. Since she was a kid she loved going to the playground and loved sports. After completing her high school she went to Cardiff university to get a masters degree in Broadcast journalism. At this point, she had made up her mind that she wanted to be a journalist and bring about a positive change in the society.
She spent most of her childhood days in England as her mother worked there and her parents thought that England has a cultural edge over the USA that makes it better for kids to live and grow in. She also tried her hand at Geography at Leicester university but she liked broadcasting better and so chose it as a career path. After doing graduation she joined BBC as a sports journalist in England. At that time she was the youngest sports journalist BBC has ever had and that was a great feat to achieve. In 2012 she joined NBC to broadcast the English Premier League to the USA.
This was a very big stage in her career as she went from reporting local sports reporting the greatest league in the world. She also did Matchday live for the channel which is a live show done at the start of a premier league match. In December 2012 she left NBC and joined Sky Sports where she reported premier league as well. She also hosted a show called Goodmorning Sports Fans which became quite famous until she left the channel and joined FOX Sports again. This time she reported for the Australian arm of the channel. She again decided to change the channel and this time she moved to Al Jazeera Media Network. She continued working there while also doing her own journalism for CNN. In addition to these, she has also reported and commented in some of the games in England as well as the USA.
There is not much known abut her personal life as she keeps it to herself and doesn't want the media to get anything of it. There is no information about her wedding or her husband although it is sometimes reported that she is married with no facts to prove it. Her net worth is estimated to be around $5 million.
