Star Magazine has an hilarious story about the depths to which Kate Gosselin has sunk. She took a TLC-sponsored trip to Australia and New Zealand last month with her brood and her Kiwi bodyguard, Steve Neild. After Kate posed for bikini photos, Steve and Kate’s eight kids headed to New Zealand to meet his family. Diva Kate was very late and made Steve’s parents wait (excuse the rhyme) but what’s more is that she gave them a photo of Steve and her kids as a gift! Steve is still married to his wife back in Maryland and I’m sure his parents were thrilled to see this bitch and her tons of kids as their daughter-in-law’s replacement.
With Steve’s wife, Gina, at home in North Potomac, MD, divorcee Kate, 35, invited herself and the kids along when he visited his folks in his native New Zeland. The gang arrived there from Australia on Jan. 8…
But Kate’s plan to ingratiate herself with Kurt and Judith Neild was a bust. “Kate made them wait for over an hour, which they thought was rude,” says the source. “Also, her outfit showed way too much cleavage, and she tried to be engaging but kept forgetting his relatives’ names. It wasn’t a good impression.
Kate further tripped up by giving them a silver Tiffany & Co. frame – containing a photo of Steve with her kids! – as a gift. But Steve’s family wasn’t exactly fond of her even before they came face to face. “Kate’s aware that they’ve thought she treats her kids like her accessories, that her relationship with Steve isn’t right and she wants to take him from Gina,” said an insider

That’s a smooth move right there – “Meet your new grandkids! Too bad your son’s still married to what’s her face. How do my new boobs look? Steve helped me pick ’em out!” Someone mentioned this in a comment – I’d love to get Steve’s wife’s take on his relationship with Kate. Like does she believe her husband when he swears up and down that nothing is going on despite the fact that he sleeps in Kate’s basement and regularly goes on vacation with her? Steve has the perfect excuse “Honey, she pays me to protect her.” Only it looks like Steve is giving Kate a hell of a lot more for her money. Does that make him like a male prostitute, or more like a secretary sleeping with the boss?

Is she really 25? She looks like 45. A washed up diva. OMG, what WILL she look like in 20 yrs?
So, is Kate paying for Kiwi’s divorce?
The only thing worse would be if she autographed the picture.
They have the age wrong… she is 35.
I still don’t understand WHY she ever gets any press.
It’s Kevin Costner and Whitney all over again.
There’s no way she’s 25. That age is wrong. I googled it and she was born in 1975. That makes her 35.
The 25 is a typo and I’ve fixed it, sorry about that!
she is disgusting. end of story.
Such a vile nasty creature.
Can someone tell me why she needs a bodyguard? WTH?
Remind me again of why this disgusting, narcissistic, fame whore needs a body guard?!
Someone please explain why this no talent child pimp needs a bodyguard?
@ Vanessa: JINX! Buy me a coke 😀
Does she really need a bodyguard? Really? Why would anyone be interested enough in her to be a threat? You ask me it’s just all part of her celeb-wannabe persona.
I have no respect for Steve Neild and am fast losing respect for Gina. In a way, she too is leeching off the backs of the Gosselin kids. In case your readers haven’t noticed, those kids are depressed and if you look up the court records…Kate’s PR doesn’t tell the truth either. While Jon has made major mistakes, I seriously think this Kate is a female sociopath, that TLC has only encouraged for $$$/ratings. Jon is trying to help those kids in the background, but he doesn’t have TLC’s lawyers either who are helping to keep them on camera. Another thing, Kate and Steve got caught playing pap and selling pics of her and the kids from NZ/Australia to the States via their cell phones. Those “fans” in some pics with Kate..turns out they are paps themselves. I hope Steve’s parents did see through Kate’s BS and advise their son to wake up, so should Gina. Gina gave her dignity away a long time ago, I imagine her sons must get ribbed at school too. 10 children deserve better then their parent$ think is important in life. At least one parent learned the hard way and sees what is happening to 8 of those kids. View the court records before you decide, Kate is notorious liar.
@brin…lol. surprised she didn’t’.
That whole situation with the bodyguard (why?) being married to a woman who lives in another state while he pretty much likes with Grosslin is just really strange.
In real life he looks like Peterman from Seinfeld. I went to a book signing back before she was a dragon lady… ashamed to say.
She really is insufferable. Good write-up CB!
I’m betting that in her mind. He was bought and paid for the first time she showed him her lady bits. Now he belongs to her as does his wife. After all, it is because of her and her alone that the Neild’s bills get paid and that means she can do what-ever, when-ever she wants. Lol. And yes she exhibits mucho Socio-pathic behavior.
wow, another weird relationship..you can kinda look at them and tell..
you know Kate likes her way, I guess he was hired to keep folks from kicking her butt..her being such a nice person and all.
who knows she may get death threats from his wife, smdh!
I am confused.. Why is Gina still with him?
i’ve said it before, but this bitch really gives the name “kate” a bad name. as a fellow kate i resent that.
*thinks of kate hepburn to feel better*
Maybe Gina like it here in the US and is holding out for her greencard or citzenship? I thought it odd that she and the kids did not make the trip to their homeland.
Does anyone know what the stats of her show currently are? It seems like her popularity is really waning, especially in the press.
She’s gross.
They’so so having an affair. And the poor wife is clueless. Kate acts like her friend. Sad.
He’s not a bodyguard. He’s her handler, paid by TLC to keep her under control.
And I doubt very seriously they’re having an affair. She probably likes people thinking so.
My guess is Gina puts up with all the speculation, etc because TLC is paying her husband handsomely.
@ Rita – LOL!!! Now I’ve got “I’ll Always Love You” stuck in my head!!
what a waste of news. this woman is so stupid.!! i cant believe having sextuplets makes you famous. she danced like a horse. why is this woman getting press.??? she has no talent. give praise to the real stars… like sandra bullock, jen anstion, all the rest of them with talent. this woman has had a boob job, teeth done. hair weaved. stomach done. she is so fake. get her off t.v.
To the person who suggested Gina may want a green card . . . she may well want one but if she and Steve are here on a work visa, it’s not going to get her a green card. THey’d have to apply for permanent residency.
I believe that TLC pays for this good looking body guard to keep Kate Gosselin “in line.” She is known to be very demanding, rude, offensive, and just plain mean. And not to mention the obvious Bi-Polar behaviors. She is a walking and talking train wreck and ticking time bomb. TLC needs to have their Kate Gosselin under control.
@anon: Great comment. I knew Kate was a notorious liar ages ago. She never seemed sincere or down to earth. I have a pretty good judge of character and I have to say Kate is a phony as they come.
If indeed Steve’s relationship with Kate is purely professional (as her handler, bodyguard, whatever) why on earth would he introduce her to his parents?
@Barbara: “If indeed Steve’s relationship with Kate is purely professional (as her handler, bodyguard, whatever) why on earth would he introduce her to his parents?”
________________________________________
EXACTLY Barbara…he’s a helluva lot more than her handler. The only time she shows joy or smiles is when she’s w/ him. And if he were just a paid handler, he wouldn’t be spending every single UNPAID holiday with her, either. It’s blatantly obvious.
THANK YOU, CB for another awesome, unflattering photo — in that picture at the top she looks like the raving maniac that I think she is!
I don’t like her but she is giving me a big wave of un-ease over dislike these days, she looks like she could go over the edge at any time. Sometimes she looks like she is sleep-walking, other times she looks crazed, I hope she does actually have tons of “help” working around the clock to call 911 when she cracks.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well if this is what Steve is paid to take care of, he SUCKS at it, because she is still very demanding, rude, offensive, and just plain mean. I resent the fact that my intelligence (and everyone else’s) is being insulted. TLC, please cut your losses and move on. There is NOTHING to see here with KHATE.
On another note….he is Effing handsome! Unfortunately, his *ahem* “association” with KHATE taints him.
As usual, a negative story by a “source”. Why do you people believe stories by a “source”. Why is the name not used? Could it be the tabloid is making it up or the person selling the story is? If it was true they would own their words.
Come on Steve …get a grip. This woman has absolutely no class.
Everything out there about this woman is “according to the source.” LMAO We can’t even believe Kate herself because she has been known to lie to the media to put herself in a better light.
I don’t think TLC is paying for Steve at all. I believe they have paid for bodyguards in the past as we have seen them in photos but Steve is like Kate’s boy toy and companion . Why would TLC do that ? Can you say Paid Escort.
He wants to add TLC/kate gosselin to his resume’ !!! Talk about “bottom of the barrel”.
There is no way in hell. That this man is hiding his salami on that poisonous trap. No way, unless… he is a sadomasochist.
Of course she needs a body guard, just think of how many people want to bitch slap her.
@Johnny Depp’s Girl@(21)- I am confused.. Why is Gina still with him?
This is what I don’t understand. It’s been so obviously publicized that there’s no way she isn’t aware of this. (It would have to be complete denial for her to think otherwise). I too, have no respect for someone who tolerates cheating…for any reason. It just shows that she has no respect for herself… or that said ‘respect’ has an ‘asking price’.
Just when I think Kate’s audacity couldn’t shock me more than it already had… She takes her children on a trip to meet her married live-in bodyguard-in-disguise gigolo’s parents while his wife & children remain home in the states.
To answer the FAQ of ‘Why the hell does she need a bodyguard?”
Because she’s a celebrity television star famous for her incredible talents: Giving birth to an obscene amount of children at once after undergoing fertility treatment with multiple implantation, & being an amazing dancer.
She needs to be protected from the paparazzi she calls to come take pictures (& advantage) of her children at every opportunity…As well as keeping her massive amount of fans at bay for the safety of said children.
It must be nice to live in her world. It’s too bad she’s not sharing whatever she’s smoking with us.
I think the reason kate and her man havent gone public is because TLC knows that would be the end of any tolerance for her and her show. I don’t get why people at TLC think she is a meal tickets….no one watches her show and usually tries to avoid anything she has her hands on…. she is money hungry and greedy and eventually it will dry up and she will be dipping into the kids college funds to support her hair and nail habits.
does anyone even watch this annoying show anymore?? i dont think so
jrt, somebody must. I think it’s people who care about those children who watch.
Well, her ratings continue to decline. Once they get below a million viewers TLC will pull the plug.
Poor Kate, poor Kate, we watch the carrier of two
and then of six
as she dances off to get her fix.
No womb for more, no time for eight.
Poor Kate, poor Kate she took the bait.
Poor Kate, bit the apple of fame and cash.
She’s barely time for a hug and a quick tongue lash.
Poor Kate, nipped and tucked, glitzed and glammed.
She smiles for pictures, she is such a ham.
Just hurry up and take them quick,
she’s got no time for kiddy shtick.
Poor Kate, she’s here, she’s there, she’s everywhere . . .
no time for tending her chicks to spare.
Poor, poor Kate, how will it end?
She’s passed them off for others to tend.
Poor Kate is off to please her vanity.
The cost . . . her childrens’ sanity.
Poor Kate, poor Kate is so very poor.
She’s missing the gold at her own front door.
@Lady D@(46)- I think it’s people who care about those children who watch.
I’d think the people who care about the children are the ones who shouldn’t watch… Ratings just make the network keep this show going, which gives Kate more reason to trot them out like a circus attraction.
Great Poem… Just Me.
Those poor kids.
It’s actually a nice and helpful piece of information. I’m satisfied that you just shared this helpful info with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
I have been browsing online more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It’s beautiful worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
