Jon Gosselin Reacts to Rumors Ex Kate Gosselin Is Dating Bodyguard

Jon Gosselin is weighing in on his ex Kate Gosselin‘s love life.

Although Kate hasn’t shared who she’s been dating for over a year, her ex-husband thinks it’s Steve Neild, a man who used to work as their family’s bodyguard. Back in 2009, Kate denied having a relationship with Neild when rumors of infidelity surfaced.

Jon shared a screenshot of a *Page Six* article on Instagram Stories on September 24th, claiming it revealed Kate’s secret boyfriend was Steve. He wrote, “I told you all, but no one believed me-guess I was right!”

He added in an Instagram grid post, “Guess who really ruined the marriage.”

As a longtime follower of the Gosselin family, I was really shocked to hear Collin speak out. He claims Steve is the man my mom, Kate, has been dating, and he’s saying she hasn’t been honest about it. It’s just really sad to see this all play out publicly, especially given how strained their relationship already is.

I’m deeply hurt that my mom had an affair with our bodyguard in 2009. For years, she would share hotel rooms with him during family vacations, and I was right next door. It’s upsetting that people now see their relationship as a sweet love story.

TopMob News has contacted Kate for a response, but she hasn’t replied yet. Previously, she strongly denied claims of an affair with Steve, calling them “disgusting, unthinkable, and unfathomable.” Kate and Jon share eight children: twins Mady and Cara, age 24, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, and Joel, who are 21.

Kate described Steve and his family as devoted supporters who were there for her during a difficult time. Speaking to *People* magazine in May 2009, just before she announced her divorce, she explained that they often traveled and spent holidays together. She noted that going through a divorce tends to narrow your close relationships.

Kate explained that it’s completely normal to build friendships with people you work with, like your manager, publicist, or security staff.

She said they were the only people she had left, and explained that tabloids often create stories to fit their own narratives.
