Steve Neild (2007-2014) – Even though the divorce wasn’t, Kate has been rumored to have been dating her bodyguard Steve for years. Steve was married at the time and eventually returned to his wife Gina. An unknown source has confirmed that Kate and Steve have not been in touch since he resigned from the position in 2014.

Known for

A TV reality show with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin called Jon & Kate Plus 8 (2007-2009)

First TV show

She made her television show debut as herself in a home delivery documentary on NBC while her home in Wyomissing was being renovated. In 2005, a special surviving Sextuplets and Twins aired on Discovery Health, which was more prominent.

Personal trainer

It seems that two pregnancies have not left any marks on her body, because her stomach is flat and taut. This is largely due to a tummy tuck surgery she had in 2006. Still, it’s evident that Kate takes pride in her looks and keeps it rock hard with core, glute and hamstring workouts.

She claimed her diet isn’t overly restrictive but consists of healthy foods like grains, peanut butter, salads, cottage cheese, almonds and egg omelettes. She doesn’t have a personal trainer but definitely already knows a lot about nutrition which has led to her being very fit.
