Kate Gosselin Talks Boyfriend’s Support
Gosselin recently underwent knee surgery and opened up on social media about how Neild is supporting her recovery.
“My boyfriend threw the ball and she came running for it and she was running at the absolute speed of light and I stepped the wrong way,” she explained of obtaining an injury while playing fetch with her pup at the park, during a TikTok Live on September 30, according to People. “I tried to get out of the way, and she ran into the side of my leg, my knee, at top speed. The only way I can describe it, it was like a concrete wall running at the speed of light.”
In a follow-up video of “a day in the life” of her recovery, Gosselin included a snap of her breakfast in bed.
“Breakfast made with extra love…by you know who,” she wrote, seemingly referring to her beau.
Gosselin first hinted at her relationship during a TikTok Q&A with fans on September 22.
“I am dating somebody for the past year—little over a year,” she said, according to E! News, adding that they had been together for “14, 15 months.” “It’s somebody that I’ve known for a really long time.”
