Kate Gosselin goes Instagram official with former bodyguard Steve Neild after ex Jon slammed the new romance

Kate Gosselin has publicly confirmed her relationship with Steve Neild, who used to be her bodyguard, by sharing photos of them together on Instagram.

Rumors have been circulating about the couple for a while, and Gosselin finally seemed to confirm them by listing Neild as one of her top ten favorite things this past Saturday.

Gosselin said her boyfriend is her second priority, after her children, and shared several affectionate photos highlighting their close bond.

The photos featured the couple happily posing on the beach, and it looked like they were enjoying a sunny vacation together.

Kate and Neild, both 50 years old, took photos in their swimsuits while wearing life vests. They were in a beautiful, tropical location with a pool nearby.

They first met nearly 20 years ago when he began working as her security guard as she quickly became famous thanks to her family’s television show.

Kate was still married to Jon Gosselin when rumors started circulating about a possible relationship with Neild. She strongly denied those rumors at the time.

Kate and Steve have been dating for around a year, and there are reports suggesting they may already be living together.

Okay, so things are definitely heating up! Last month, I spotted a little hint that my client is officially dating someone new. During a TikTok live, a guy walked into the frame carrying a latte for her – we couldn’t see his face, but it was the first real confirmation that she’s moved on and is seeing someone special. It’s always fun to see these little moments unfold!

Kate greeted her boyfriend, saying ‘Hello,’ and mentioned he waved to her fans, even though they couldn’t see him.

Kate mentioned that her partner isn’t a big fan of being filmed, so viewers likely won’t see much of his face. However, she didn’t completely dismiss the possibility, saying they’ll see how he feels about it as things go on.

There is at least one person the new romance isn’t sitting well with – notably Gosselin’s ex Jon.

In September, Jon publicly accused Kate of infidelity, and their son Collin supported his story.

The reality star suggested that Kate’s relationship with her former bodyguard began as professional but turned romantic, ultimately leading to the end of her marriage while they were both famous from their TV show.

Jon shared a photo of Kate and Steve on Instagram, along with a link to a Page Six article reporting they are dating again, suggesting it’s a revival of a past relationship.

‘Guess who really ruined the marriage,’ Jon said. ‘Read for yourself.’

The reality star, originally from Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, said he felt like his previous warnings weren’t taken seriously, but recent events have proven him right. He expressed his frustration, saying, ‘Hopefully people will pay attention to what I say now!’

Gosselin met Neild in 2008, a year before she divorced her husband Jon.

I’m hearing from Page Six – they were the first to report on her relationship with Steve – that things are getting serious! Apparently, they’re ready to get married. It’s so exciting when a relationship blossoms like that!

According to a source, the couple is seriously committed and planning their wedding. The insider revealed in September that Kate is deeply in love with him, and they’ve already talked about getting married and starting a life together.

Just before the news came out, the television personality revealed on TikTok that she’s started dating again, saying she was ‘really happy’ with her new partner.

Kate shared that she’s been dating someone for just over a year – around 14 or 15 months. The mother of eight said it’s good to have companionship again, but she didn’t mention the man’s name, Steve.

The celebrity and Jon were married for ten years, from 1999 to 2009, and have eight children. They are parents to 24-year-old twins, Madelyn and Cara, and 21-year-old sextuplets: Aaden, Collin, Joel, Hannah, Alexis, and Leah.

Kate hinted that her boyfriend might make occasional appearances in her future TikTok videos, saying fans ‘might catch a glimpse of him now and then.’
