Kaitlan Collins, one of the youngest journalists ever employed by CNN as a White House reporter, has reported on the White House ever since she started her career. The Daily Caller was her previous employer before she joined CNN Network.
Bio of Kaitlan Collins
Collins was born in the state of Alabama on April 7, 1992. She went on to Prattville High School to further her schooling.
The University of Alabama is where the native of Alabama attended and received her journalism and political science degrees in 2014.
Joined CNN at age 25
Collins began her writing career as a free-lance blogger. Later, she worked for The Daily Caller, where she covered the 2016 election. Many were impressed by her reporting. So much so that in 2017, she was appointed to White House correspondent for the website run by Tucker Carlson.
She didn’t stay on the website for very long, though. In June 2017, she started a new position at CNN as a White House reporter.
Collins has broken multiple stories in her coverage of the Trump White House since she joined the network at the age of 25. She also went on assignment for Trump as chief White House correspondent in Asia.
In 2018, 2019, and even 2020, she was listed among Mediaite’s 50 Most Influential People in the News Media.
Salary and Assets
The native of Alabama works for CNN as the network’s top White House correspondent. The typical pay for a CNN correspondent is $136,275, according to Glassdoor.
Collins earns pay, a base wage, and bonuses because she is the chief White House correspondent. Her financial wealth is still being examined, though.
Her estimated net worth of more than $1 million is, however, widely conjectured online.
Will Douglas is married and in a relationship.
Will Douglas, a pharmacist and the owner of Crimson Care Pharmacy Group, was dating Collins. They reportedly began dating in 2015, and they publicized their romance on each other’s social media pages.
The couple took a wonderful trip in May 2016 with their close friends, and the following month they attended a wedding.
In July 2016, the two also visited the Nationals Park in Ballpark, Washington, D.C. In November 2016, they attended a wedding at Gin Creek Plantation.

It’s interesting to note that Collins was also close to her partner’s family, especially his mother Melinda Douglas and brother Tanner Pierce. They went on excursions and shared meals.
But their romance came to an end around 2017. Collins erased all of the photos of her and her partner from her Instagram account despite not disclosing their split.
She hasn’t discussed her romantic situation since then. Her commitment to her career is only hinted at on Twitter and Instagram.
