Reality TV alum Kate Gosselin<\/a> is letting fans into her love life.<\/p>\n

In a Nov. 8 Instagram Reel<\/a> and TikTok video<\/a>, the “Jon & Kate Plus 8<\/a>” star opened up about her 10 current “obsessions,” which started with her eight children. Number two on the list, “my boyfriend,” had her followers running to the comments section to share their thoughts on the 50-year-old’s hard launch.<\/p>\n

As noted by commenters and People<\/a>, it appears her romantic partner is Steve Neild, her family’s former bodyguard.<\/p>\n

In a September Q&A video<\/a> on TikTok, Gosselin revealed she’s been “dating somebody for the past year to a little over a year, maybe like 14, 15 months.” She added, “I am super, super happy. It\u2019s somebody that I\u2019ve known for a really long time and I am very, very happy.”<\/p>\n

“He doesn’t really want to be on TikToks. Can’t blame him really, I guess,” Gosselin continued. “But you perhaps will catch a peep of him here once in a while going forward.”<\/p>\n

Weeks later, she let slip that her partner’s name was Steve during a TikTok live, according to People<\/a> and Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

USA TODAY has reached out to Kate Gosselin for comment.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with The U.S. Sun published Oct. 1, Jon Gosselin cast doubt on the length of his ex-wife’s new relationship and said he believed she had an affair with Neild during their marriage, which ended in 2009.<\/p>\n

When reports romantically linking Kate and Neild came out that year, she slammed the “disgusting” rumors<\/a> in a statement to People.<\/p>\n

Gosselin shares 25-year-old twin daughters Mady and Cara, as well as 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel, with Jon.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Collin Gosselin<\/a> has\u00a0spoken out<\/a>\u00a0against his mother, from whom he’s estranged, along with most of his siblings. Among his claims is that she was the one to have him “institutionalized”<\/a> out of retaliation when he was a pre-teen.<\/p>\n

“All measures that were taken in our home were at the explicit recommendation of his pediatric psychiatrist and\/or his team of specialists and were put into place to safeguard every member of our family, our friends as well as our family pets,” Kate wrote in a July 2023 statement<\/a> shared on Instagram. “I believe Collin remains a very troubled young man who continues to need a lot of help.”<\/p>\n
