Kate Gosselin is reportedly “desperate” to keep afloat financially, amid her child support battle with ex, Jon. According to In Touch, a source told the outlet, “As the legal battle continues, she doesn’t know how she’s going to make ends meet. She’s desperate at this point.”
Jon allegedly owes Kate $132,875 in back child support, and the mother-of-eight is struggling even though she relocated to North Carolina and required her nursing license. The source stated that the former Kate Plus 8 star has not been looking too hard for a healthcare job because “nursing doesn’t pay great – especially compared to what she gets on TV.” Kate previously appeared in other shows such as Dancing With the Stars, Celebrity Wife Swap, and her TLC series: Kate Plus Date. Notably, her last reality TV gig was on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, though she was eliminated in the first episode.

It was previously reported that Gosselin has been living “paycheck to paycheck” for some time. A source spoke with In Touch about the former reality TV star, and revealed that she’s living a fairly low-key life these days. “She’s fallen quite a ways from being one of the country’s top reality stars,” the source said. “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 outlet reported that Gosselin moved to Troutman, North Carolina, and got a multistate nursing license in the hopes of returning to her former profession. “Kate lives paycheck to paycheck,” the insider said, adding that Gosselin previously admitted that she “borrowed” $100,000 from her children’s trust fund “to survive.” The source continued, “There hasn’t been a glam squad for a very long time, so Kate looks totally different. She stays home a lot, watches a lot of TV.”
According to the source, some people in Gosselin’s community occasionally recognize her in public but “it’s not always positive.” The insider explained, “Kate continues to get a lot of hate from people. She doesn’t have it so easy.” A big part of Gosselin’s retreat from the limelight seems to be due to the controversy surrounding her relationship with 19-year-old son Collin, one of the sextuplets she shares with ex-husband Jon Gosselin. The pair are also parents to 23-year-old twins Cara and Mady.
