They suggested she enjoy a variety of playful experiences with her dates.

Kate took that advice to heart, inviting the men to try grape-stomping, archery, and racquetball.

In one of the episodes, she shared a kiss with a man she was spending time with.

Jon also labeled Kate as a “trigger” for Collin, who was struggling with mental health issues.

I have always been closer with my dad and we’ve always had a strong, good relationship."

And there’s not really a one-on-one relationship, for attention, that you have with your parent.

I felt like my dad gave me that attention."

Hannah did mention that she still stays in touch with Kate through texts.

For this reason, a lot of people might assume Kate has a hefty net worth.

According toCelebrity Net Worth, though, it currently stands at only $500,000.

Her long divorce battle with Jon might have something to do with where her finances stand.

As the show continued to grow more popular, Jon and Kate began receiving other opportunities for financial gain.

However, all of the income came to a halt when Jon and Kate’s marriage fell apart.

Soap Dirtreported that without Jon’s approval, the kids weren’t allowed to appear on television.

She decided to continue filming anyway, and the judge ultimately banned her from taping new episodes.

Kate was never able to get approval from Jon because he wasn’t willing to cooperate with her.

Kate Gosselin speaking on show

Kate’s connection to TLC is a thing of the past.

According toParade, producers thought she was too controversial a figure to work alongside an icon like Paula Deen.

Paula is known to be a beloved chef, TV personality, and cookbook author from Georgia.

She owns and operates multiple restaurants in different states throughout the country and has published 15 cookbooks.

News, Kate was never actually considered to become a permanent panelist on a talk show with Paula.

According toIn Touch Weekly, she returned to her nursing career in North Carolina.

Still, the medical field is a great route for people looking for stable incomes.

According toSalary.com, registered nurses in North Carolina earn between $51,000 and $81,000 per year.

She’s been very vocal about her struggles as a mom in the past.

According toThe Daily Mail, becoming a single mom was more difficult for Kate.

Our lives have been such a roller coaster.

She said: “Am I a mom with high expectations?

Am I a mom who wants the absolute best for my kids at all costs?

Do I drive a hard bargain?

But, the truth is that, within that, my kids know that it’s out of love.

Literally, from day one, wanting the best for them and I don’t apologize for it.

My life is for my kids and I really want the best for them.”

For her part, Kate says she has been “overzealous” with her children out of love.

“It comes from a place of love.

I do think that I care so deeply that I have been, at times, overzealous.”

Many people wonder if Kate, like many other reality stars, has had plastic surgery.

Yes, but maybe not the surgeries you’re thinking.

Some stars go for breast implants, face lifts, or “Mommy Makeovers” to enhance their appearances.

Others opt for smaller cosmetic procedures like lip filler and Botox.

However, Kate says she has done none of those things.

The only plastic surgery the reality star has had is a tummy tuck.

I got a good bra!"

But for all its infamy, the hairstyle was never really intended to make waves.

“I got up and it looked the same as when I went to sleep!”

Kate was also a bit controlling in other ways, according to Krall.

“Kate flipped,” Krall said.

“She thought it was cross-contamination.”

Kate, for her part, is aware of her public image and the difficult aspects of her personality.

However, what has been shared suggests that Kate is not on great terms with her parents or siblings.

Kate evidently refused her parents' and siblings' invitations to get together.

“Kate does not speak to her family at all,” Wilber said.

“It is very painful.”

“She wants a big life and we don’t fit in.

“Things like that caused a rift,” the source said.

And while the cookbook ultimately received good reviews overall, there was also some backlash.

(Would it be a Kate Gosselin cookbook without a little drama?)

These claims were never officially verified, and eventually, the backlash settled down.

She was on Dancing with the Stars

Kate Gosselin tried her hand (feet?)

at “Dancing with the Stars” in 2010 … but the experience wasn’t quite a success.

Dance partner drama aside, it seems that dancing just isn’t Kate’s calling.

Despite the difficulties, Kate reflects on the experience in a positive way.
