Kate Gosselin Subtly Flaunts Bodyguard Boyfriend Online Amid Affair Allegations From Ex-husband Jon & Son

After years of leaving her tumultuous marriage to Jon Gosselin,Kate Gosselin has softly launched her boyfriend on social media.

This revelation follows the backlash Kate received after speculation arose that she was romantically involved with her former bodyguard, Steve Neild, during her time with Jon.

With these recent developments, both her ex-husband and her son Collin have spoken out, openly criticizing Kate and her new relationship.

Kate has not hidden the fact that she is in a relationship, as her boyfriend's presence subtly appeared during one of her livestreams. In a recent TikTok Broadcast, as reported by US Magazine, Kate's new partner briefly appeared while delivering her a latte.

Although his face never showed on camera, his hand was visible as he passed her the cup. Kate smiled and thanked him, later adding with delight that the latte was "yummy." Fans quickly caught on to the moment. Kate read several of their comments aloud during the live session.

"Hello to the boyfriend," one viewer wrote. Kate echoed the comment and mentioned that he waved in response.

Another follower asked if the two would appear together on camera soon. The TV personality explained, "He's not very fond," clarifying that while she wouldn't mind, her boyfriend wasn't interested in social media attention.

"You deserve to be treated like a queen," another comment read. In agreement, Kate nodded and replied, "I agree," unable to hide her smile.

Fans may recall that Kate broke the news of her relationship with Neild during a Q&A session on TikTok on September 22.

When a fan asked about her love life, the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star admitted she had been dating someone for over a year. Although she kept his identity private, she hinted that their bond was strong and longstanding.

While Kate was discreet, her man was later confirmed as Neild, her former bodyguard, with close sources saying their connection is profound.

"They have wedding plans, it's that serious," one insider revealed, according to The Blast. The source added that Kate is head over heels for Neild, deeply in love, and even living with him.

Neild worked as Kate's bodyguard from 2008 until 2019. During that period, rumors of a romantic relationship between them had already begun circulating.

As more details surface, Jon has made his feelings about Kate's relationship clear. The pair divorced nearly 15 years ago, but he didn't hold back from voicing his perspective.

"Guess who really ruined the marriage. Read for yourself," Jon wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of Kate and Neild alongside the caption, as reported by The Blast.

Kate denied rumors of dating her bodyguard back in 2009. Jon, however, now insists that his suspicions were justified. "Maybe when I speak, people will listen now!!!" Jon blasted in another Instagram post.

Fans, on the other hand, had mixed reactions. One person commented, "You divorced in 2009. The kids are grown, and she put them through college. Why do you care who she dates? Move on."

Jon isn't the only one weighing in, as Kate's son Collin has also spoken out on Instagram, accusing his mother of "infidelity."

According to The Blast, Collin alleged that his mom cheated on his father as far back as 2009, claiming she and Neild shared hotel rooms during trips.

"I hope she doesn't try to play this one off. Just come forward and be truthful," Collin wrote. 

Determined to challenge the image Kate has portrayed of her relationship, Collin insisted it was nothing but a facade.

"I feel very strongly on the matter of cheating and then blaming someone else for your own actions," he continued, explaining that both he and his father suffered because of Kate's choices.

Collin's posts no doubt speak to the strained relationship with his mother, one that has been troubled for a long time. He previously accused Kate of harsh treatment, claiming she "zip-tied" and locked him in a basement before having him institutionalized.

"I'm done staying quiet," Collin fired further. "You've BEEN with him. You told me I broke our family when you couldn't stay true to my dad," he wrote, continuing his accusations against Kate and her former bodyguard.

Clarifying his intentions, Collin explained that his posts were not an attempt to "shame" his mother but rather a call for accountability.

He stressed that Kate needed to acknowledge the pain she had caused him and his father.
