Kate Gosselin is once again at the center of public attention following revelations about her current love life. The long-running rumors linking her to Steve Neild, her former bodyguard, have resurfaced after she confirmed she has been happily dating someone for over a year, though she has kept his identity private. Many outlets, including Page Six, have named Neild as the person in question, reigniting speculation about a decades-old alleged affair.
Steve Neild first became known to the public through his work on Jon & Kate Plus 8, where he was often seen accompanying the Gosselin family as Kate’s bodyguard. Over time, his constant presence led to persistent tabloid chatter suggesting there may have been more than a professional relationship, especially during Kate’s marriage to Jon Gosselin. Born in New Zealand, Steve has built a long career in security and now runs a risk management company offering private security and crisis response services.
Rumors of an affair between Kate and Steve have lingered for years, largely fueled by their close proximity during family trips and public appearances. Despite Kate denying these claims multiple times, her recent TikTok confirmation of a long-term relationship has made fans and media revisit the speculation.
Jon Gosselin, Kate’s ex-husband, responded to the news with sarcasm on social media, sharing a Page Six article and writing, “Guess who really ruined the marriage. Read for yourself.” His remarks imply that the alleged affair may have played a role in the breakdown of their marriage.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kate’s son Collin publicly accused her of carrying on a relationship with Steve as far back as 2009. On social media, he claimed that Kate and Steve would “share hotel rooms” during family vacations while he and his siblings were placed in nearby rooms, leaving their father to face the fallout. Collin’s comments suggest a long-standing tension between him and his mother over this alleged secret.
Kate Gosselin has not directly responded to Jon’s or Collin’s remarks, keeping her side of the story private. The situation has once again brought intense scrutiny to her personal life, blending past rumors with current developments.
