Where is Kate Abdo from?
Kate Abdo is from Manchester, England.
Here's the answer from Mary's digital twin. The grey check mark turns green once Mary has confirmed it.
Born and raised in Manchester, she later moved to Spain at 17, studied at the University of Malaga and the University of Salford, and went on to build a broadcasting career spanning Sky Sports, Fox Sports, and CBS Sports, where she is best known for anchoring coverage of the UEFA Champions League, Europe's top club football competition. She now goes by Kate Scott following her marriage to Malik Scott.
Follow-ups
Where is her last name from?
Abdo was her first husband's surname, shortened from his full name Ramtin Abdolmajid, a German-Iranian businessman she married in 2010.
She was born Kate Giles in Manchester. When she married Ramtin Abdolmajid, a German-Iranian businessman, she took a shortened form of his surname professionally, becoming Kate Abdo. That is the name viewers came to know her by across her years at Deutsche Welle, Sky Sports, Fox Sports, and CBS Sports.
The marriage ended in 2016, but she kept Abdo on air long after, which is why many viewers assumed for years she was still with him. After marrying Malik Scott, she updated her name again, this time to Kate Scott.
So her full name history runs: Kate Giles at birth, Kate Abdo by marriage, Kate Scott by her second marriage.
