After stirring the pot with rekindled rumors about her 2009 affair with former bodyguard Steve Neild, Kate Gosselin is opening up about how "happier" she feels with her children's support.
Kate recently made waves by subtly introducing Neild as her boyfriend online, signaling a bold move forward in her love life. However, not all of her eight children share the same enthusiasm. Her son, Collin Gosselin, has openly expressed his disapproval.
“My kids always worried about me being alone when they were grown. This makes them so happy too. Which of course makes me even happier!” Kate shared in response to a fan’s comment, according to PEOPLE Magazine.
Kate’s newfound happiness with her children’s acceptance comes on the heels of her subtle boyfriend reveal on TikTok. In a playful video, Kate showed her dog biting a leg – presumably Neild's – and gushed about their relationship.
Fans caught on quickly during a livestream, where Neild made a brief appearance, delivering a latte to Kate. Although his face remained out of view, his presence was unmistakable, prompting fans to greet him as Kate read comments aloud.
While Kate has kept the details of her relationship under wraps during her broadcasts, she did let slip that she’s been dating someone for over a year. Sources later confirmed Neild as her beau, sharing that the couple's bond is deep and long-standing.
“They have wedding plans, it's that serious,” an insider revealed to The Blast, hinting at just how much Kate cherishes her new relationship.
Despite the love story’s happy notes, not all is rosy in the Gosselin family. Collin Gosselin has voiced serious allegations against his mother, accusing her of past infidelities involving Neild.
Amidst the drama, Kate disclosed her Thanksgiving plans, revealing that while she and Neild invited some of the kids, their college commitments may keep them away. "It's just gonna be me and him, I guess," she mentioned, adding a touch of humor about Neild’s suggestion to go dancing despite her leg injury.
Kate’s journey continues to unfold, with fans eagerly watching as she balances love and family dynamics.
