Kate Gosselin Faces Family Distance, Thanksgiving Without Eight Children

Kate Gosselin revealed she will likely spend Thanksgiving alone with her boyfriend Steve Neild, as most of her eight children cannot attend due to college commitments and travel logistics. She explained that some children have limited time off and others have prior plans, highlighting the evolving dynamics as her children become independent adults. Despite past family drama and estrangement, particularly with her son Collin, Kate maintains that preparing her children to be functional adults is a parental goal. She shared that while the transition to an empty nest was initially difficult, especially when her eldest daughters left for college, she has grown to appreciate family moments during holidays when everyone reunites. Recently, Kate underwent surgery following a dog-related injury, which affects her ability to participate in activities like dancing, a suggestion her boyfriend humorously made for Thanksgiving plans. She also noted that her current living situation is tied to her boyfriend's work, and she plans to return to her own home eventually.
