She has a new name to choose.
The billionaire’s wife accused of harassing an Instagram user of the same name in an attempt to buy her account has revealed she is pregnant.
Katherine Asplundh, 27, shared dozens of touching photos with her husband, Cabot Asplundh, showing off her baby bump as they posed by a lake.
“We love you so much already and we can’t wait to love you forever and ever,” she wrote in her Sunday Instagram post.
The photos show the young and rich couple wearing denim jeans with beige tops, with almost all of the photos showing the baby bump on full display.
“I love this bump of mine. I can’t wait to make it my whole personality”, she wrote in her confession.
Asplundh, formally Driscoll, married Asplundh, also 27, in April. He is the heir of Asplundh Tree Expert Co. in Pennsylvania, which is the 109th largest private company in America with revenue of $5.42 billion in 2023, according to Forbes.
The expectant mother made headlines and came under fire on social media after her wedding after she allegedly wanted to make the celebration Instagram official and change her name on the platform to match her new legal name.
However, the desired handle @katherineasplundh had already been taken, prompting her to message the account owner to purchase the handle.
“Hi just wondering if I can buy your username from you. I just got married and this is my new name,” the reader wrote, according to footage of the conversation posted on the NYCInfluencesnark sub-Reddit.
After being told no by the real Katherine Asplundh, who goes by Kate, an irritated Driscoll Asplundh argued that Kate’s name was not Katherine Asplundh and that she would be reported.
“I actually don’t believe your name is Katherine Asplundh… I reported you on Instagram and they can actually tell me your real name. I really hope I don’t know you because it will be so embarrassing for you .”
After her second failed attempt, the titular influencer searched for the name “Katherine Asplundh” on Facebook and concluded that she must be the only one with that name in America when she found no results.
“The family I just married into is the only Asplundh in America.”
However, the other woman then pointed out, “I’m not American.”
Asplundh closed her account after other users mocked her mercilessly and created multiple accounts with different variations of the accounts she had and wanted.
The leaked messages prompted Kate to receive an outcry of support.
Her supporters then created dozens of fake accounts spelling out the billionaire’s wife’s name, with almost every possible username option she asked for, including her maiden or married name, now taken.
She ended up folding under this pressure and deleted her Instagram account, which had 14,600 followers at the time.
Internet pundits also found an old TikTok post from Asplundh in which she poked fun at future wives who were too excited to change their social media usernames.
However, after a brief hiatus, the 27-year-old reactivated her Instagram account in June using her old name, @katherinedrisc, which she created with her maiden name, Katherine Driscoll.
