CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins went public with her new relationship at the Grammys on Sunday, February 1. She posted many snaps with her new man, photographer Emilio Madrid, at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party in Los Angeles.
Kaitlan and Emilio posed with their arms around each other at the event. She sported a sexy black dress in the shot.
Kaitlan Collins sparked romance rumors at the Grammy Awards

Kaitlan shared many photos the next day on her Instagram, which included the shot of her with Emilio at Clive’s party. Included in the batch of photos was one of the couple dressed for the Grammys ceremony. Kaitlan wore a glistening magenta gown with a plunging neckline as she posed with her beau on their hotel rooftop with the setting sun in the background. A selfie shot had the couple posing beside financial influencer Haley Sacks at Grammys after parties.
She wrote on a post, tagging Emilio, “It’s 75 degrees and Bad Bunny is there? I’m in. Thank you, @grammys, for an incredible evening.” He also posted photos with Kaitlan on his Instagram Story from the weekend festivities. This included a photo of himself in the audience with Ben Levine, CAA agent and CNN’s Chief White House correspondent. Another photo, taken at 1:22 a.m. following the after parties, showed the two partying with friends in a hotel room surrounded by food from room service.
However, social media comments on the photos focused on Kaitlan’s appearance and not her date.
It has been years since Kaitlan has publicly revealed a romantic relationship. She dated Texas businessman and pharmacist Will Douglas in 2015, but their relationship ended in 2017. He ended up running for the Texas House of Representatives as a Republican in 2019. Democratic incumbent Rhetta Andrews Bower won that 2020 election to the state House.
Kaitlan has been very quiet about her private life, which is why her red carpet appearance with Emilio caused a commotion and attracted much attention.
