What is Kate Gosselin's net worth? Former 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' star 'borrowed' $100K from her children's trust fund 'to survive'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: According to celebritynetworth.com Former 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' star Kate Gosselin who has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars is now residing in North Carolina with some of her children, while others live in Pennsylvania with their father, Jon Gosselin.
Kate, 48, has experienced a significant transition from her days as a major reality TV personality to a more quiet and challenging life.
After the conclusion of 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' in 2009, a spin-off series titled 'Kate Plus 8' aired from 2010 to 2017, and Kate authored several books while also making an appearance on 'Dancing With the Stars.'
However, when the media attention waned, Kate found herself in a rather different situation.
From reality stardom to a 'quiet life in North Carolina'
According to a report by In Touch Weekly, insiders revealed that Kate has gone from being a top reality star to living a secluded life.
The publication's source stated, "She's fallen quite a ways from being one of the country's top reality stars."
At present, Kate leads a quiet life in North Carolina, refrains from dating, and has very few friends, with her children essentially being her closest companions.
After the reality show ended, Kate relocated to Troutman, North Carolina, and pursued a multi-state nursing degree in hopes of returning to her pre-television career.
However, according to an insider cited by In Touch, Kate is currently living paycheck to paycheck, and she had to "borrow" $100,000 from a trust set up for her children just to make ends meet.
The source also noted the absence of a glam squad for quite some time, mentioning that Kate looks markedly different these days, staying home and watching a lot of TV.
The Gosselin family's children have been growing up, and Kate, once a TV personality, is now facing the prospect of being on her own.
Twins Cara and Mady, both 23, have already left home and graduated from college, with Cara working as a financial analyst in New York City, while Mady is employed at Bubble Skincare in the Big Apple.
Navigating family dynamics and estranged relationships
As for the sextuplets, they have graduated from high school and are preparing to embark on their own journeys. Notably, Kate has no relationship with her children Hannah and Collin, as their father Jon has custody of them.
This family dynamic has faced its share of drama, and Kate's interactions with Hannah have been a source of contention.
An insider previously shared that Hannah has made efforts to maintain a relationship with her mother, but their interactions have been strained since Hannah moved to live with her father.
The situation was exacerbated when Kate appeared on Vice's 'Dark Side of the 2000s Jon & Kate Plus 8: Family Circus.'
Despite the challenges, Hannah is determined to build healthy relationships with her siblings, and it is hoped that with some distance from Kate, they will have a better chance to thrive as brothers and sisters.
Kate and Collin, on the other hand, are reported to have "no relationship" at this time.
