Kate Gosselin goes Instagram-official with boyfriend Steve Neild after cheating claims

Kate Gosselin has publicly confirmed her romance with her ex-bodyguard, Steve Neild, after years of rumors that they had an affair.

The reality star, 50, declared her love for Neild in an Instagram video reading, “One girl. 10 Things I’m OBSESSED With.” The No. 1 spot belonged to her eight kids with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, with Neild listed as No. 2.

On top of photos of her and Neild, Kate wrote, “2. My Boyfriend” with a heart eyes emoji.

Intimate pictures included one of the couple posing on the beach, and another shot of them during what appeared to be a tropical getaway. The two showed off their fit physiques, with Kate sporting a hot pink bikini and Neild going shirtless.

Page Six exclusively reported in September that Kate was dating Neild and that he was living with her

“They have wedding plans, it’s that serious,” an insider told us.

“There’s no doubt that Kate is crazy about him … they have discussed wedding plans and moving on that next stage.”

Neild began working for the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” alum in 2008. He’s been photographed many times with the reality star over the years while working as her bodyguard.

He was married when he first began working with the family, and is now divorced. Rumors that he and Kate had an affair had been swirling for years, which she vehemently denied it in 2009.

“The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family,” Kate told People at the time. “Already the allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified.”

But her ex-husband slammed her and Neild’s relationship shortly after Page Six broke the news.

“Guess who really ruined the marriage,” Jon, 48, wrote via Instagram, sharing a screenshot of Page Six’s coverage of Kate and Neild. “Read for yourself.”

“Maybe when I speak people will listen now!!!” he captioned the post.

He also linked to Page Six’s coverage in an Instagram Story, adding atop the slide, “I told you all.” He followed it up with another Instagram Story reading, “No one believed me I guess I was right.”

Kate and Jon’s son Colin — who’s been estranged from his mother for years — also accused her and Neild of having an affair.

“What really upsets me is that 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, while I was in a connected room!” Colin claimed in an Instagram Story.

“Now everyone thinks her being with him is some cute novel romance,’ he continued, noting that his dad “received death threats” and “got shunned by the public for years for ‘having an affair’ and ‘leaving his kids.’”

Colin added, “I hope she doesn’t try to play this one off. Just come forward and be truthful.”

Kate and Jon divorced in December 2009 after 10 years of marriage. They share 25-year-old twins Mady and Cara, and 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel.
