The relationship between Katie Matlin and Jake Martin is known as Jatie (Jake/Katie). It began and ended in the twelfth season of Degrassi.


Overview[]

Their friendship started when Katie interviewed Jake for an article on new students. Later, Katie asked Jake out to Degrassi Movie Night. Although Jake left her on their date for Clare, they still remained friends and Katie's feelings were distant, but there. As time progressed, Katie, after Drew cheated on her, began hanging out with Jake while their best friends Mo and Marisol made out. One night, Katie kisses Jake after Marisol plans to set the two up. She stops kissing him when she starts to cry about Drew. Jake tells her she isn't ready for anything, and takes her to egg Bianca's car. After a brief conflict afterwards, they both admitted their feelings for each other, and eventually began dating at a Toronto Ice Hounds game when Jake made his move before Dallas made his final move on Katie.

Their relationship was strong, and it was revealed that Katie would frequently spend the night over at Jake's house. The two would often double date and are seen hanging around with their friends, Marisol and Mo. When the four of them decide to go on a spring break vacation to Las Vegas, Katie and Jake began to experience problems for the first time. Katie lied to Jake and went to see Darrin Howe with romantic intentions in exchange for money, which she would use toward her college education. Katie does not have sex with him, but when she returns to Jake, the two get into an heated argument over Katie's fling for money and she criticizes Jake's weed smoking. He breaks up with her, and she decides to focus on herself and her life. Sometime before #Woke, Jake has moved to California to be with Katie. This was revealed by the Degrassi Writers via Twitter.
