Amy Bradley’s ex-girlfriend finally spoke out in an emotional blog post about the Netflix doc

Kat Lovelace, the ex-girlfriend of missing cruise passenger Amy Bradley, has spoken publicly for the first time in nearly 27 years, and what she shared in her blog is absolutely heartbreaking.

Kat appeared briefly in Netflix’s new documentary Amy Bradley Is Missing, which looks into the 1998 disappearance of 23-year-old Amy Bradley, who vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Kat met Amy at Longwood University in 1994, and the two dated for almost two years.

Now, Kat has written a deeply personal blog post on her Substack, reflecting on the experience of speaking out, reopening old wounds, and what it was like to see Amy’s face and hear her voice again after all this time.

She wrote, “I forgot what her voice sounded like. And when I finally heard it again, I didn’t recognise it. That realisation hit like a punch to the chest.”

Kat described the process of filming as emotional and intense

Kat admitted she had hesitated before agreeing to appear in the documentary, asking herself, “Would it make a difference? Would it hurt her family?”

She added, “For years, I wasn’t part of the story, not publicly, anyway. But maybe now was the time to change that. Maybe this was the only chance I’d have to share who she really was, the Amy behind the headlines. The one I knew. The one I loved.”

She recalled reuniting with Amy’s old college friends in New York to shoot the interviews, many of whom she hadn’t seen in decades.

She said, “That trip last summer, the interviews, the reconnection, the long nights with old friends, it was healing and heartbreaking all at once. We laughed, we cried, we remembered. We talked about Amy. About the case. About what it took from all of us. And what it gave us, too.”

Before leaving, they got matching tattoos. It was “a simple mark for friends, Longwood & Amy”. It was “a way to carry her, and each other”.

Despite hours of filming, only a few moments of Kat’s story made it into the final cut of the documentary. Still, she said being able to share “the fragments” of her memory was worth it.

She ended her post with a powerful statement, “Amy mattered. She still does. And while I can’t control how others tell her story, I can reclaim my own piece of it. By remembering her. By saying her name. And by sharing the fragments I still carry.”
