Kate Gosselin, 50, Reveals She’s ‘Finally’ Dating Again After 16 Years

Kate Gosselin has a new man in her life.

The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star revealed during a TikTok post on Monday that she is ‘actually, finally’ dating again.

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant said she is ‘super happy’ with her new love interest.

The 50-year-old dished that she has been seeing the guy for ‘a little over a year, maybe 14 [or] 15 months.’ She noted to fans that it was nice to ‘not be lonely anymore.’

The Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test alum did not name the guy.

The star was wed to Jon Gosselin from 1999 to 2009. They had twins Madelyn and Cara, now 24, as well as sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Hannah, Alexis and Leah, now 21.  

Gosselin said fans might be able to see him in upcoming TikTok videos: ‘You perhaps will catch a peep of him here and there or once in a while going forward.’

Gosselin seems to have been devoted to bringing her kids up.

But she had some romance: Kate dated businessman Jeff Prescott in 2015 the starred on her dating show Kate Plus Date four years later. 

Kate has had a hard time financially because her divorce from Jon, the father of her children and her former TLC costar, was costly. 

Now she works as a nurse, a profession she had before she became famous on TV. 

The TV personality got candid with fans about her financial situation after uploading a TikTok video in mid August.

In the clip, Kate could be seen doing dishes after working a long shift as a nurse in the pediatric field which earns about $30 an hour in most states. 

Her shifts are 12 hours long. 

She later jumped to the comment section to respond to questions from fans. 

When one said they thought she would be ‘set for life’ after the TLC show, Kate replied, ‘I wish. I spent sooooooo much money on attorneys. That killed us! 🙁 so sad!’

The media personality appeared to be referencing to her divorce from Jon which was finalized in December 2009. 

Her request for primary custody of their eight children was granted and she also gained ownership of their family home. 

But Jon later got sole custody of Collin and his sister Hannah back in 2018.

Another follower asked Kate ‘what happened with all the income from the show’ while referencing to the star’s long shifts. 

‘Honestly? Providing for 8 kids, college funds which I am proud to say covered all of their college and more and LAWYERS,’ she explained. 

‘Sickening but I was drug into court constantly and that costs A TON. Sad bc my kids could have a lot more saved and I could have a retirement saved if it weren’t for the lawyers :(.’ 

However, Kate told the fan that it was ‘okay’ while adding that she is ‘helping other families and I feel needed and I enjoy helping!’ 

The TV personality also gave insight into her job as a nurse and stated that she works in ‘pediatric home health care.’ 

When one asked, ‘How long have you been a nurse for?’ Kate replied with, ’28 years. Wow. That made me feel super old to type that number.’ 

She also revealed that some of her children will live with her at home in between semesters at college. 

In regards to what the mom-of-eight misses about her time on reality TV, Kate expressed, ‘I miss our house in Pa. 

‘But mainly I miss when the kids were little. Not the stress, just their cuteness. At the time it felt like the days were long… but in hindsight it sped by. And I’m sad :(.’ 

Late last year in October, a source claimed that Kate was ‘hurting for money’ and ‘still trying to get a new show.’
