Kate Gosselin Working 12-Hr Shifts For Money, Says Divorce and Legal Battle Cost ‘a Lot’

Fans were shocked to learn that reality vet Kate Gosselin has been working 12-hour shifts in pediatric home health care, per Daily Mail. The 50-year-old rose to fame on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 and continued her TV career with Kate Plus 8 after her 2009 divorce from Jon Gosselin, as well as stints on The View, Dancing With the Stars, Celebrity Wife Swap, a dating show and Special Forces, among others. But now she says she needs to work for the money.

The mom to twins Cara and Madelyn, 24, and 21-year-old sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Joel, Aaden, Alexis and Leah recently posted a TikTok where she responded to viewers’ questions. Asked why she wasn’t “set for life” from her many TV gigs, the Pennsylvania native, replied, “I wish. I spent sooooooo much money on attorneys. That killed us!”

Kate blamed her rancorous divorce from Jon and subsequent custody battle (Jon got sole custody of Hannah and Collin in 2018; both are estranged from their mother). “Sickening, but I was drug into court constantly and that costs a TON,” she griped. “Sad because my kids could have a lot more saved, I could have a retirement [fund].”
