While her surgery has fans concerned, Kate recently made headlines for a much lighter reason — confirming she’s no longer single. During a TikTok Q&A, she revealed she’s been in a relationship for some time.
“The answer to that question is actually, finally, yes,” she said when a fan asked about her dating status.
Kate Gosselin promised to go live from the hospital to update her followers on her health.
“I’ve been dating somebody for the past year, little over a year, maybe like 14 or 15 months,” she continued. “I’m super, super happy.”
Though she didn’t reveal his name, Gosselin hinted it’s someone she has “known for a really long time.”
“I am really, really happy but he doesn’t really want to be on TikTok,” she admitted. “I can’t blame him really, I guess. But you perhaps will catch a peep of him here and there once in a while going forward.”
Kate Gosselin's son Collin and ex-husband Jon accused her of having an affair with her longtime bodyguard years ago.
However, her personal life isn’t without controversy. Her estranged son Collin Gosselin and ex-husband Jon Gosselin accused her of being romantically involved with her longtime bodyguard Steve Neild while still married.
“What really upsets me is that my mom had an affair with our bodyguard way back in 2009, and for years would share hotel rooms with him while we went on family vacations, while I was in a connected room!” Collin alleged on Instagram.
