The star threw on a few stylish shades of black to coincide with the overall color scheme of her look and to shield her eyes from the harsh sun.
Her husband, Rafael, who she tied the knot with in 2018, also opted to wear an all-black ensemble as they strolled down a sidewalk in the quiet neighborhood.
He put on black sweatpants along with a black short-sleeved T-shirt, while also donning a pair of sunglasses.
The musician slipped on a pair of comfortable Crocs and carried their son, Leafar, resting his head on his father’s shoulder.
In October 2021, Kat jumped to her main Instagram page to reveal to her fans and followers that she and her family had made the decision to leave California.
“As some of you know, we recently bought a beautiful home on a piece of land in rural Indiana, and the more time we spend there, the more we realize we feel more at home there than here in LA,” she had explained at the time in the caption.
“After much consideration, we have decided that we will be moving to Indiana permanently at the end of this year,” the star added.
“We plan to sell our beautiful house here, and I will most likely open a private studio in Indiana when we finish remodeling the house there.”

Due to the permanent move, the TV personality revealed that her shop, High Voltage Tattoo, would also close.
