Alongside a picture of her laughing at an awards show with Matthew, Kate reflected on how she was often left in stitches whenever she hung out with him. She wrote:

“We played tennis and played more tennis, talked endlessly about trials and tribulations of love and then would talk some more as we would laugh our asses off and then laughed some more. I share the same sadness with all our film and TV community who shared time with Matthew. As you can see, to know him was to adore him.”
