Collin Gosselin is accusing his estranged mom Kate of lying about her current relationship, insisting that Kate is actually dating Steve Nield– Kate’s former bodyguard and the man she allegedly cheated on while married to husband Jon. Collin, as well as Jon, took to social media on Wednesday to comment on the situation after Page Six broke the news that the man Kate says she’s been dating for “14 or 15 months” is actually Steve, and she’s actually been with him for years.
While Kate has seemingly remained single since divorcing Jon in 2009, she revealed Monday on TikTok that she’s been in a relationship for more than a year with a man she’s known “for a really long time.”
“I am really happy but he doesn’t want to be on TikTok,” she said of her “new” boo. “I can’t blame him really, I guess. But you perhaps will catch a peep of him here and there once in a while [on my TikTok] going forward.”
On Wednesday, Collin took to social media to call out his mom’s allegedly incorrect dating timeline, claiming that the mystery man his mom is now officially “dating” has actually been in the picture since he was a child.
“What about when we’d go on vacation and you made me sleep on the hotel cot while you and Steve were together?” Collin posted to his Instagram Story. “Or when I’d be in a connected room while you shared one with him? What about when you were on [the TLC series] Kate [Plus] Date, but Steve’s home address was the same as yours?”
Collin went on to allege that Kate has not only “been with” Steve for much longer than she’s claiming, but that Kate’s affair with the former bodyguard was what ended her marriage to his dad.
“ … You told me I broke our family when you couldn’t stay true to my dad,” Collin wrote. “I’m not here to shame you. But you don’t understand the fact that dad and I have cried together from all the hurt.”
Collin ended that particular Instagram Story by stating that he was “done staying quiet.”
In two other Instagram Stories he posted on the topic, Collin spoke out about his mom’s alleged cheating as well as how much those alleged actions hurt both him and his dad. Collin also insisted that he doesn’t “feed on” drama, but felt it was necessary to speak out.
“ … I feel very strongly on the matter of cheating and then blaming someone else for your own actions,” he wrote, later adding, “Everyone says my dad and I are hung up on my mom. We are not. We have suffered the damage of a narcissist and cried together.
“So, no, we won’t just go and make TikToks and act reformed when we still feel pain from our past,” Collin continued, before signing off with, “I love you dad.”
According to Page Six, Kate and Steve are currently living together and “have been together for a long time now.” The couple is so serious, in fact, that they are considering marriage.
“There’s no doubt that Kate is crazy about him … things are serious, they have discussed wedding plans and moving on that next stage,” the site reported.
Steve was married when he first began working as a bodyguard for Kate in 2008, and, for years, the pair has been plagued by rumors that they were having an affair. Steve is now divorced, according to Page Six, which may be the reason he and Kate are now open about their relationship. In the past, Jon has also accused Kate of being unfaithful to him and having an affair with Steve.
Speaking of Jon, he jumped on TikTok Live on Wednesday to address the situation, stating that he’s happy that the “true” story of Kate and Steve’s romance has come to light.

“I’m happy now. Can you imagine sitting around for 14 years and everyone’s like, ‘Oh you cheated on your wife. You did this and that,'” he said, wishing Steve “good luck” dealing with Kate, whom he accused of doing “sneaky a** s**t.”
“So the big news today is Kate Gosselin— my ex-wife, or should I say Beetlejuice— has been with her bodyguard the whole time. What do you think about them apples? I’ve kind of been waiting around for this… the media didn’t know. TLC told the media ‘that’s impossible’ and that’s their employee. So that employe[r] interfered with my marriage, my children, everything. So, TLC’s liable. And that’s going to be the next big thing.”

Jon is not the only person who has stated in the past that Kate was with Steve. Way back in 2014, Kenya Moore— Kate’s co-star on The Celebrity Apprentice— claimed that Kate shared a room with Steve while filming the show. At the time, Steve was still married to his wife Gina.
“That bodyguard was very interesting because they actually shared a room — I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that — so he was around a lot,” Kenya said.
Steve and Gina divorced in 2023, according to court records obtained by The Ashley.
Kate has not yet responded to Collin and Jon’s claims.

I’d like to hear from Steve’s Ex wife her side of the story, why they got divorced? P!ain and simple and his children they have no reason to lie!!!!
No, no you all. She’s got a new boyfriend named George Glass!!
@Dogwalker– “He’s new at skuuool.”
i’ve never heard of a george glass at OUR sküle. 😂🤣
or is it ‘skewl’? 🤔
@Garys– I know of a “George…Tropicana” at our skuuul but not a George Glass.” -Marsha
@theashley ~ george tropicana? 🍊
what a nice name…is he cuban? 🇨🇺
People really hate her, it’s so weird. I’ll probably get downvoted but whatever, they both used their children against one another. He is estranged from all his kids but Colin and Hannah. And Kate is estranged from Colin since Hannah does still have contact with her siblings and mom.
They were terrible partners and it’s great they are no longer together. Seems like there was infidelity on each side, just hope all of them are happier now. I remember how silly Jon acted wearing Ed Hardy and partying at pools and Kate just has a personality that is off-putting to most people. At this point who cares. It’s been almost twenty years since the divorce. The rumors of Kate and Steve were around then. But I do love messiness, so I will get the popcorn out and watch this blow up. Jon would have looked classier if he had just been more lowkey instead he just started blasting, so it’s nice to know some things haven’t changed.
‘started blasting’ ~ like frank reynolds and his ‘pieces’? 😂😹🤭🔫

(TOTALLY off topic, but i can’t read that phrase w/out thinking of frank and ‘the gang’ 🤷🏼♀️)
Exactly like Frank Reynolds.
I will likely get a lot of flack for this but I truly feel for Jon (and of course, Colin and really, all the kids)- REGARDLESS of how he behaved after their split. I’m not blind that he acted out like a child- dating everyone and partying. Not being a father anymore (although I am not sure how much opportunity he had, seeing at he was dealing with Kate). However, this wasn’t a long term thing and honestly makes sense as a reaction to him being free from the situation he was in (not only with Kate, but also having his life recorded for years, constantly) and likely trying to distract himself from no longer having his children. I was in a relationship with a real diagnosed man with NPD about 7 years ago now. He’s the father of my youngest. It was beyond perfection for a while, I got hooked to him and then without warning or really, anything happening, it was done. Two weeks after the split I found out I was pregnant and went through my pregnancy alone. I cannot begin to tell you how blindsided I was at the split. How painful the whole thing was. How many lies were told to me and about me. How confused I was- by the entire situation. And yet, he walked away like nothing happened. Devoid of any emotion, calm as could be. Months after the fact and after going through counseling and reading a ton of material on NPD that my counselor recommended, I could see how there were signs. After we split- Oh man. I have seen him spiral and nothing has changed and he keeps bouncing from woman to woman and job to job. Anywho- Kate is absolutely a narcissist. That has been clear for YEARS. She has pitted the children she has with her still, against their father and their own brother. Who TF does that? She doesn’t even try to mend things with Colin which is not just sad, but honestly disgusting. She didn’t even show up for the custody hearing with Jon, when Colin’s custody came into question. People with NPD are not above exploiting their children, but lying (including pathologically to the point she believes her own lies) to everyone to get what they want, they are impulsive, devoid of emotion… That woman truly destroyed her family and still has some convinced she’s a good mom and/or human being, which is comical to me. The people that believe that are easily fooled and naïve. What I will say is they are “professional level” fantastic at lying. How easy for her to claim this relationship is only a little over a year old, when it’s been over a decade- but conveniently worded seeing as his divorce wasn’t finalized until 2023 (which is it was late 2023 makes sense with her version of her timeline). OK, rant over but yeah- NEVER been a fan of Kate even when they first came out with J&K+8.
So what. Jon is OBSESSED with Kate and continues to be the weirdo, man-child that ABANDONED his kids for over a decade. He decides to come back in the picture when they were almost 18 and he thinks that he is qualified to make judgments…after we saw him having a 15-year vacation.
And f that kid, Colin too. He does have behavioral issues and needed to be out of the home with the other kids. His siblings have said that they were scared of him because of physical threats and actual violence against them.
Kate isn’t perfect, but she did the best that she could as a single mother of 8 kids.
Oh, Okay… Kate. If this is NOT Kate, then you are insanely deranged or perhaps a narcissist yourself.
Grow up, crybaby. You better be 14 years old talking about “okay, Kate”. I have a different opinion, deal with it…you know, like actual adults do.
are you an adult yourself .. you sound 12
Colin has “behavioral issues”, but also “F him”? You sound lovely.
The kids said they were scared of him at 11…in that they also cited because he said “racist” things…again, around 11 or 12. Not because he was a 16 year old threatening them with a knife. And most of those quotes are Maddie. Kate’s most manipulative and diabolical child.
The reaction you’re seeing from everyone around Kate is pretty textbook for people in the path of a narcissist. Colin and Jon are angry and the other kids have learned that you’re either with her or against her.
Ohhhh TJ… LMAO looks like the majority of us feel YOU are the child, share my opinion and could also quite possibly be… Kate. But go on… And exactly! “And f that kid, Colin too. He does have behavioral issues and needed to be out of the home with the other kids. ” Are you serious?! He was a literal child… Those were his siblings… and if he was having issues, maybe Kate should have looked inward at her parenting, instead of sending him away. Isolating him from the entire family, not visiting… I am a single mom of three boys and my twins have ADHD- instead of me just blaming them and treating them like shit, I had to change how I was parenting to better support them. It was tough, a process and I was running on empty often, but I would NEVER, EVER send them away, nor separate them from each other. Magically, with age and also me changing the way I was reacting to a lot of the behavior, they ended up growing out of a lot of the negative actions and I was able to help them learn coping skills and really establish a level of trust with them. They are now 13, we are very close and they are very well rounded. You are free to have a different opinion than me- doesn’t mean I have to agree.
Shut the hell up Steve or Kate . I know it’s u . Loser
I get how Kate tried to justify the lie.
“I’ve been dating someone for over a year”
Technically I guess it’s been over a year. Kate Gosselin proving once again what a manipulating liar she is.
She likely can’t say much longer because his divorce wasn’t final until 2023… I see what she did there. Typical Kate BS
A control freak and a cheater, she broke up her family and Jon and kids paid the consequences. Jon lost so much, he should get her for emotional distress, if he’s able to.
Didn’t Jon have a affair with Kate’s plastic surgeons daughter?
yes, but people always have to make it her fault.. mind you, she hasnt mentioned him once but he wont shut up about her. Colin can say what he wants, thats his story. but jon needs to stfu.
She has mentioned him in most of the interviews she does. She talks about Jon and Collin all the time (and uses it as a side gig to get paid because her nursing career isn’t going as swimmingly as she tries to make it sound).
Don’t get me wrong, Jon talks about her too and really should cut back on that crap. Still, Kate pretty much never shuts up and I’m not sure how you’ve missed it, every single time.
I watch her on tik tok and her lives there. Shes never mentioned him (Jon). I havent seen a formal interview from her in YEARS. If you have a recent one, please link and ill watch! I have watched Jons lives and they are depressing and those of a teenage boy. Neither are victims so im not sure why he acts like he is one. The only victims here are the kids.
So glad for her kids finally being able to expose her bs. That woman is a *such* trashy ass control freak. Horrible mother, horrible morals, and horrible liar who just does not get she any silence her kids anymore.
Ok so clearly Steve’s ex-wife never read a tabloid at all between 2008 and 2010 bc….we’ve all known this since then. This isn’t news.
Called it. She thinks it’s still the early 2000s where you can get away with hiding this type of thing and lying. Everyone who paid attention back when this lunatic was still popular knew this. Hint hint Kate: If you want to pull off lies like this, it’s best NOT to abuse and piss off family members who know the truth.
