A 15-second shopping video posted to TikTok has reignited speculation about Kate Gosselin‘s relationship status, but the mother of eight quickly shut down any wedding talk.
Ring Finger Frenzy
In the clip-filmed by Steve Neild-Gosselin models a woven bracelet while a delicate band glints on her ring finger. Viewers flooded the comments:
- “Wedding ring perhaps!???”
- “Ma’am that ring is gorgeous!! 👀👀”
- “Whooaaaa. Did you get married?”
Kate Gosselin answered the last question directly: “No lol. That’s just my regular jewelry.”
Relationship Timeline
| Milestone | Date |
|---|---|
| Revealed “super, super happy” relationship | September 2023 |
| Went Instagram-official with Neild | November 2023 |
| Current joint trip to New Zealand | January 2024 |
Gosselin told followers Neild paid roughly $170 for souvenirs, joking that her “GoFundMe, Steve” rarely buys himself clothes.
Family Accusations
Her ex-husband Jon Gosselin and 21-year-old son Collin have long alleged Neild was more than a bodyguard during the marriage. Collin’s 2023 Instagram Story claimed:
> “My mom had an affair with our bodyguard way back in 2009 and for years would share hotel rooms with him while we went on family vacations.”
Jon posted, “Guess who really ruined the marriage,” while Collin urged his mom to “come forward and be truthful.”
Key Takeaways
- Gosselin wears the ring on her left hand by habit, not as a wedding band.
- She and Neild have been a confirmed couple for roughly four months.
- Past family tensions continue to surface publicly.
For now, Gosselin’s focus remains on vacation fun, not wedding planning.
