Who is Kate Gosselin?
Born on March 28, 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kate Gosselin is an American reality TV star and television personality.
She rose to fame when she starred in the hit series Jon & Kate Plus 8 along with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin, and their eight kids, which comprises twin girls, Cara and Mady, and sextuplets, Aaden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah, and Leah.
Because of the unique nature of their family, they were featured on a string of programs, including NBC’s Home Delivery, as well as two Discovery Health specials, Surviving Sextuplets, and Twins and Surviving Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later.
Thanks to high ratings, the Gosselins were offered their own reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, which ran from 2007 to 2017.
However, the show changed to Kate Plus 8 when Kate and Jon divorced in 2009.

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate said in a statement at the time.
“While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.”
Jon also issued a statement of his own, saying: “This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that.”
After Kate Plus 8 ended, Kate went on to guest star in a handful of reality shows, including Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Wife Swap, and The Apprentice.
In 2019, she even had her own reality dating show, Kate Plus Date, which had her going on dates with bachelors. It only had a single-season run.

Where is Kate Gosselin now?
Kate chose to step away from the limelight for a couple of years when Kate Plus Date ended.
Along with four of the sextuplets, Aeden, Joel, Alexis, and Leah, she moved from their home in Pennsylvania, which she sold, to North Carolina.
Meanwhile, Cara and Mady are away at college, and Collin and Hannah reside with Jon.
An insider told InTouch that part of the reason for the move was the family’s dwindling finances: “She’s not working, so there are no checks coming in. It costs a lot of money to care for the kids and the lifestyle she’s been accustomed to. Having a hit TV show had a lot of perks. Things have definitely changed.”

She also returned to the medical field to work as a nurse, just like she used to before she became a reality star.
“Returning to nursing isn’t easy for Kate because of her fame. It really went to her head,” another insider told the outlet.
“She hadn’t worked as a nurse since she began filming the show 15 years ago! But she has to do what she has to do.”
Fast forward to 2023, Kate starred in the competition reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, but had to withdraw early due to an injury.
What is Kate Gosselin’s net worth?
Kate reportedly earned $250,000 per episode at the height of her reality TV stardom, but now, her net worth is down to $500,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
It’s likely that most of Kate’s money had gone to her kids. She once said that her priority will always be her children’s well-being.
“The majority of what we made, I personally took and put in a college fund for [the kids] because they will go to college,” she noted.
“College, school and their house, where they live [are] important.”
