Early life and family
Cassidy is the only child of actor and singer David Cassidy and fashion model Sherry Williams. Cassidy’s paternal grandparents were actors Jack Cassidy and Evelyn Ward and she is the niece of teen idol and television producer Shaun Cassidy and actor Patrick Cassidy and Ryan Cassidy. Cassidy has a younger half-brother named Beau, born in 1991, from her father’s third marriage to Sue Shifrin. She also has two younger half-sisters, Jenna and Jamie, from her mother’s marriage to Richard Benedon.
After Cassidy’s parents ended their relationship, she was raised by her mother and stepfather. David Cassidy spoke of his absence from Katie’s life, saying in February 2017: “I’ve never had a relationship with her. I wasn’t her father. I was her biological father but I didn’t raise her. She has a completely different life. I’m proud of her. She’s very talented. It’s hard for me to even accept how old she is now.” In her youth, Cassidy was on the competitive cheerleader team the California Flyers. A resident of Bell Canyon, California, she attended Calabasas High School. During her time there, she signed a recording contract, releasing a cover of “I Think I Love You“, a song which had been a hit for her biological father as part of the soundtrack to his TV show The Partridge Family.
