It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 17 years since we were first introduced to Kate Gosselin and her family. Kate was once the go-to reality TV mom and one of reality TV’s earliest villains. After her 2009 divorce from Jon Gosselin, Kate continued to appear in shows such as Dancing with the Stars and Kate Plus 8. But now, it seems like now she’s struggling. In fact, some sources claimed that she’s “living paycheck to paycheck,” and she’s still not in contact with two of her kids, Collin and Hannah.

Kate Gosselin is living a very different life now.
“She’s fallen quite a ways from being one of the country’s top reality stars,” a source told InTouch Weekly in October 2023 about what Kate is doing now. After fading from the spotlight, Kate moved to Troutman, North Carolina, where she now reportedly “lives paycheck to paycheck.” She apparently got a multistate nursing license in 2021, hoping to go back to her pre-fame career.
The insider also said that Kate admitted she “borrowed” $100,000 from her kids’ trust fund to pay her living expenses.
“There hasn’t been a glam squad for a very long time, so Kate looks totally different,” the source added.
Things have become very ‘quiet’ for her.
According to the source, Kate does still occasionally get recognized from her time on reality TV, “but it’s not always positive. Kate continues to get a lot of hate from people. She doesn’t have it so easy.”
“Kate is currently living a very quiet and boring life in North Carolina. She doesn’t date and has very few friends – actually, her best friends are pretty much her kids,” the source claimed, adding that Kate “stays home a lot, watches a lot of TV.”
