Personal life
Kathy Ireland became a Christian at the age of 18, when she read the Bible out of curiosity. She has said that she switched her previously pro-choice stance on abortion to pro-life after researching her husband Dr. Greg Olsen's medical books.
Ireland gave a speech at the fourth Youth Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters on August 13, 2007. The purpose was to encourage activities among young people towards ending poverty. Ireland spoke on a subject of social entrepreneurship and partnerships.
In May 2009, Ireland and her family were evacuated from two homes endangered by the Jesusita Fire near Santa Barbara, CA: one belonging to Ireland's parents, and the other being the home where Ireland, her husband and their three children reside.
Ireland appeared on Larry King's talk show in 2009 to discuss her weight gain and woman's health. She had gained a pound a year for 25 years and the cumulative effect had become obvious to her in a candid photograph her son had taken. Ireland said in the interview, "Weight is a symptom of something that needs to change in your life."
Kathy competed on Season 9 of Dancing with the Stars. She was eliminated on the second episode.
