She has been married to her husband, Gavriel Friedson, for nine years. The couple married in July 2017 in a private ceremony at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It's not known how they met as the two keep their private life under wraps.

Over the years, he has been a supportive partner to Pavlich. While he maintains a private Instagram profile, Katie Pavlich often shares sneak peeks of their married life, including vacations and explorations.

They have no children but are parents to their beloved dog, Gadsden. He often features in playful posts on Pavlich’s Instagram. He appears to be a light-colored Labrador Retriever and is adored by the couple.

Her husband attended Reichmon University in Israel, graduating in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Media Studies. He later went to Tel Aviv University to pursue a Master's in Public Health and Crisis/Emergency/Disaster Management.

According to Friedson's LinkedIn, he officially started his career in the Israel Defence Forces beginning as an infantry soldier in 2007.

In a 2021 interview with the organization, Friedson shared what inspired him to pursue a career in emergency services. He told the outlet:

“When I was 14 years old, there was a bus bombing outside of the Cloud Building on Yafo Street. I wasn’t a medic yet. I wasn’t trained yet, but I was there witnessing just awe and amazement at how these people go in and risk their lives, and I said the second that I could volunteer. I’m going to, the second I hit the age of 15.”

In December 2025, Katie Pavlich shared a birthday tribute for her partner on Instagram. She shared a carousel featuring her husband and referred to him as her “adventure partner and date for life” in the caption.
