Since joining the network at the age of 25, Collins broke several stories in her coverage of the Trump White House. She also traveled with Trump in Asia to report stories as a chief White House correspondent.

Relationship Status, Married Will Douglas?
Collins was in a relationship with Will Douglas, a pharmacist and the founder of Crimson Care Pharmacy Group. They started dating circa 2015 and flaunted their relationship on their respective social media accounts.
In May 2016, the duo enjoyed a delightful vacation with their close friends, and in the next month, they attended a wedding ceremony.
Further, the pair toured the Nationals Park in Ballpark, Washington, D.C., in July 2016. They visited a wedding ceremony at Gin Creek Plantation in November 2016.

Interestingly, Collins also had a close relationship with her partner's family members — mostly his brother Tanner Pierce and mother Melinda Douglas. They went on trips and had lunches together.
However, their relationship ended around 2017. Though Collins didn't disclose the separation, she deleted all the pictures with her boyfriend from her Instagram.
Since then, she hasn't shed any light on her relationship status. Her Instagram and Twitter only give glimpses of her dedication to work.
