Kate Gosselin Hard Launches Bodyguard BF, Giving Him Almost Top Priority In Her Life

Kate Gosselin has finally gone official with former bodyguard-turned-boyfriend, Steve Neild, declaring him as her second obsession in life.

This revelation follows months of subtle hints from Kate about her romantic life, including a soft launch online.

Now, with her love life heating up, speculation about marriage is growing stronger. However, Kate's new romance has been plagued with infidelity accusations from her son, Colin Gosselin, and ex Jon Gosselin.

Kate appears to be done with soft launches, as she is now being direct about her love life. In a recent Instagram post, the reality star gushed about “10 things I’m obsessed with.”

While her children topped the list, her boyfriend Steve Neild came second in the video. The former TLC star shared two photos of Neild in the slideshow, highlighting the people and things most important to her, which also include her kids, dogs, traveling, friends, pizza, and her health.

“My boyfriend,” she wrote over two images of herself and Neild posing together in swimsuits on the beach. As expected, fans flooded the comments section with excitement and heartfelt messages. 

“Hard launch!! I love it!! So happy for you!! You deserve all the good things life can give you!!” one wrote. “Steve!!! You and Steve!!!! I LOVE THIS!!! I always said you two belong together. Congratulations on you two,” another added.

“This brought tears to my eyes! I'm so happy for you,” someone commented, while another penned, “Happy for you. I’m glad things are going well for you. You look great!"

One fan thanked her for finally showing Steve, saying, “Thank you for this and for showing Steve!” Another expressed, “I am genuinely happy for you, Kate. I hope you have all the peace you deserve.” While this user also added, “So happy you two are together.”

Before officially revealing his identity, Kate had subtly hinted that she was seeing someone.

According to The Blast, her new partner made a brief appearance during one of her TikTok broadcasts, where he handed her a latte.

Although his face wasn’t shown, his hand was visible as he passed her the cup. Kate smiled, thanked him, and later gushed that the latte was “yummy,” sparking fan speculation online.

After a fan remarked, "Hello to the boyfriend," Kate echoed the comment but revealed that Neild was "not very fond" of appearing in front of the camera.

As Kate and Neild’s romance continues to deepen, clearing long-standing rumors that began as far back as 2019, reports suggest that wedding plans may already be underway.

Per The Blast, sources confirmed that Kate is “head over heels” for Neild and that their relationship is getting serious.

“They have wedding plans, it’s that serious,” an insider revealed. “There’s no doubt that Kate is crazy about him,” the source added, also noting that the couple is currently living together.

While Kate enjoys her new relationship, her son Collin, whom she shares with her ex-husband Jon, has made bold accusations against her.

According to The Blast, Collin took to his Instagram Stories to warn the public not to be deceived by his mother’s blossoming romance. He claimed that Kate had been involved with Neild as far back as 2009, alleging she had cheated on Jon with him. Collin also accused her of sharing hotel rooms with Neild during family vacations while he stayed in an adjoining room.

“Now everyone thinks her being with him is some cute novel romance,” he wrote, suggesting the relationship wasn’t as innocent as portrayed. “I hope she doesn’t try to play this one off. Just come forward and be truthful,” Collin added, urging his mother to take responsibility.

Despite Collin’s public disapproval, Kate expressed joy that her other children are supportive of her relationship.

As reported by The Blast, the mother of eight responded to a kind TikTok comment from a fan who said they were “so happy” she had found love again now that her kids are grown.

Kate replied with heartfelt words about how her children felt about Neild, writing, “My kids always worried about me being alone when they were grown. This makes them so happy too. Which of course makes me even happier!”

Her message suggests that, despite tension with one of her sons, Kate is content, surrounded by love, support, and a renewed sense of joy in her life.
