Kate Gosselin looked unrecognizable in a new video shared to Instagram on Friday.

In her own kitchen, the 50-year-old demonstrated for her followers how to prepare a nutritious protein shake from start to finish.

Known from her popular reality TV series Jon & Kate Plus 8, she appeared without much makeup and with long flowing blond hair. She donned a black top bearing the words “Sea Goddess Swimwear.”

She gained fame from the hit reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8. Recently, she was spotted without heavy makeup, sporting long blonde locks, and wearing a black shirt emblazoned with “Sea Goddess Swimwear.

Fifteen years ago, I proudly showcased my bikini physique to boost the popularity of my reality TV series centered around my kids, serving as a dedicated advocate for these productions.

Kate became well-known alongside her former spouse, Jon Gosselin (aged 48), and their collective family of eight children, as they featured prominently in the TLC series “Jon & Kate Plus 8” from 2007 through 2017.

Apart from being a former nurse, this individual has also made appearances on shows like “The Celebrity Apprentice,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Special Forces.

Despite appearing to be far removed from her famous television persona, rumors suggest that this mother of eight is exploring fresh TV prospects due to reported financial struggles, as claimed in October 2024 news accounts.

The reality star is ‘hurting for money’ according to In Touch.

The insider revealed that due to financial struggles, she might need to put her home in North Carolina up for sale.

She doesn’t go out on dates or spend time with friends, and her nursing job didn’t work out either, earning her significantly less than she did on Kate Plus 8.

As a devoted supporter, I can share that she continues to strive for a fresh opportunity with a reality show. Yet, it seems the doors remain closed for her at this time. The recent portrayal of her as an unconventional mother who confined her son in the basement room has raised concerns and may be hindering her prospects.

The source commented, ‘It seems as though good fortune might be hers if she were more kind-hearted, but unfortunately, it appears that negative experiences are currently befalling her due to past actions.’

In November 2023, an insider revealed to The Sun that Kate has been employed solely in reality TV for the past 17 years. Moreover, it was alleged that she is actively seeking ways to generate income.

In 2009, Kate and Jon parted ways, yet they both have children together: twins Madelyn and Cara (age 23) and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel (age 20).

Kate and Jon separated back in 2009, but they have a combined family that includes their twins Madelyn and Cara, aged 23, as well as the sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel, who are all 20 years old.

For five seasons, from 2007 to 2017, the reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8” aired on TLC, reaching a peak of 9.8 million viewers during the premiere of its fifth season.

Kate has also been on the show Dancing With The Stars where she vied for the mirror ball trophy.

Gosselin was on season 10 of the show as she competed with professional dancer Tony Dovolani.

In the fifth week, the mom was voted out, ending her run at eighth position. The television series aired during the springtime of 2010.

Gosselin was fired from The Celebrity Apprentice in January 2015. 

In the seventh season of the program, Gosselin served as project manager for Team Vortex, representing Camp Barnabas – a Christian camp that caters to children with disabilities. During an assignment at Trump National Doral Miami resort, her team unfortunately didn’t win, leading to Gosselin’s dismissal, which took her by surprise.

Later on, she attributed her dismissal to the strife between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox (often referred to as ‘girl drama’), stating this as the reason behind her team’s downfall, based on reports from E! News.

And, more recently, she competed in the grueling reality TV show Special Forces.

I simply can’t contain my excitement! Back in early 2023, I found myself front and center as a contestant on the inaugural season of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” It was an unforgettable journey that had me pushing my limits like never before.

In the program that featured celebrities undergoing tough military-like workouts, she took part, but unfortunately had to leave because of an injury she received during a helicopter exercise. This show was broadcast on FOX.
