It's okay, Katy. But I have been thinking, and... I should have stood up for Xandra last night. I'm just so used to being Team Katy, and... I guess old habits die hard. I do want to be friends with you. I hope you get that apprenticeship.
— KO to Katy[src]


KO Kelly is a main character on The CW's Katy Keene. He is portrayed by Zane Holtz.

KO is an amateur boxer and bodyguard. He is Katy's ex-boyfriend. They dated for ten years before asking Katy to marry him, but she turned down his proposal, which put a strain on their relationship, ultimately resulting in their breakup.

Character Description

A boxer with two goals in life: to fight a welterweight championship in Madison Square Garden and to marry his longtime girlfriend, Katy Keene. Born and raised in Queens, Ko is a humble, protective, salt-of-the-earth guy who makes ends meet as a personal trainer and a bouncer.[1]

Early Life

KO Kelly was born in Queens, New York to an Irish-American family. He met Katy Keene as a youth and continued their relationship well into adulthood.[2]

Every year, Katy and KO go to Coney Island to commemorate their first date, when he told Katy that his life’s ambition was to be a boxer and fight at Madison Square Garden. Katy fell in love with KO on the Wonder Wheel that day, and they’ve been together ever since.[3]

One time, a train broke down and Katy was stuck walking home for 50 blocks in heels. Luckily for her, KO came to her rescue; he picked her up off her feet and walked her home. Ever since they started dating, KO has always been there for Katy, such as when he installed an AC unit in her bedroom on the hottest day of the summer and comforted Katy when her mom was sick. And after Katy’s mom passed away, KO’s family became her family.[2]

Katy then gets a call from her boss Gloria Grandbilt, who calls her into work for a fashion emergency. Katy kisses KO goodbye and tells him that she loves him.

KO confronts Katy

KO confronts Katy about it, saying that he would've understood if she had told him the truth. He is more hurt by the lie than by Katy missing his big match.

Drama at the party

Ms. Freesia arrives and begins to tell things about Pepper's past, revealing inconsistencies with what Pepper said to her friends. Ms. Freesia claims she has known Pepper since she was a child and was always alone at the Georgia Hotel when her father was out on business, but Pepper said she was raised in London. Before long, the lies about the Kiss of the Spider Woman also pop up. Alex accuses Pepper of having scammed them, and Xandra spills a glass of wine on her dress and starts arguing with Katy, who accuses her of doing it on purpose. KO is on Katy's side. Xandra had plenty of clothes and yet chose exactly what Katy had been tasked to retrieve on Guy's behalf. Xandra is having none of it as she's jealous of how KO prefers to take the defense of her ex-girlfriend rather than hers. Katy retorts that Xandra may have been dating KOs for ten minutes, but she and KO have been together for ten years. They will always have each other back, while Xandra wants to change KO to her likings. Xandra tells Katy to consider that she may no longer know what KO likes and doesn’t like. If Katy fought for KO half as hard as she is fighting Xandra, they'd still be together. Xandra leaves, and on her way out, tells KO to find his way home.

The next day, KO hands over the dress to Katy. Dry-cleaned and with no wine stain. Katy apologizes for how she reacted to the party, and KO regrets that he didn't defend Xandra. But he's so used to being always on Katy's side that he's still struggling not to. They agree to remain friends, and KO wishes her good luck with the apprenticeship.
