The 4 Biggest Relationship and Career Shocks of 2025

The biggest headlines surrounding the former *Jon & Kate Plus 8* stars this year revolve around their love lives and surprising career pivots. The years of bitter custody battles and public feuds seem to have given way to new chapters for both parents.

1. Jon Gosselin is a Married Man (Again)

In a surprise to many fans, Jon Gosselin tied the knot with his girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo, in November 2024. The couple, who had been dating for over four years, celebrated their wedding in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, surrounded by 180 loved ones. Crucially, two of his eight children, Hannah and Collin Gosselin, were by his side at the ceremony, marking a significant moment of family unity for Jon. The news of his marriage comes after a long period of maintaining a lower profile, focusing on his new life outside of reality television.

2. Kate Gosselin Confirms New Boyfriend, Steve Neild

After years of speculation, Kate Gosselin has finally confirmed she is in a relationship with her former bodyguard, Steve Neild. Neild was a familiar face in the late 2000s, providing security for the family during their rise to fame. The relationship was inadvertently confirmed during a recent TikTok Live, where Kate named her "new boyfriend" while he was helping her recover from a broken leg surgery. This revelation has brought the former reality star back into the spotlight, with her ex-husband, Jon, even commenting on the long-rumored affair.

3. DJ Jon Gosselin is Making Waves in the Music Scene

Jon has completely shed his reality TV persona to embrace a new career as a professional DJ. Known as DJ Jon Gosselin, he is frequently booked for performances at nightclubs and events, including a recent appearance at the Americus Hotel in downtown Allentown in March 2025. He also continues to work in the IT field, balancing a technical career with his passion for music. This dual-career path shows his dedication to a life far removed from the constant scrutiny of the TLC cameras.

4. Kate Returns to Nursing and TikTok Stardom

Kate Gosselin, who was a labor and delivery nurse before the reality show, has returned to her healthcare roots. She is reportedly working as a pediatric nurse and has also found a surprising new platform on social media. Her "surprising TikTok comeback" has allowed her to connect with fans in a new way, often sharing updates and glimpses into her life. This return to nursing, combined with her social media activity, demonstrates a blend of private professional life and public engagement.

Where Are the 8 Gosselin Children Now? The Custody and College Update

The biggest question for long-time viewers of *Jon & Kate Plus 8* is the status of the eight children, who are all now young adults or well into their teenage years. The family remains divided, with a complex custody arrangement that has separated the sextuplets.

The Twins: Mady and Cara Gosselin

Mady and Cara, the eldest twins, were born in 2000 and are now fully independent young adults. They have largely stayed out of the public eye. Both have been pursuing their higher education, with Mady occasionally using social media to share brief glimpses into her life and Cara maintaining a very private profile. The twins have expressed a desire for privacy after growing up on television.

The Sextuplets: Hannah and Collin's Life with Jon

The sextuplets—Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel—were born in 2004. Two of the sextuplets, Hannah Gosselin and Collin Gosselin, have lived with their father, Jon, for several years.
  • Hannah Gosselin: Hannah has been the most vocal of the children who live with Jon, often appearing in his social media posts and supporting his new endeavors. She recently celebrated turning 21, a major milestone.
  • Collin Gosselin: Collin's journey has been the most public and complex, involving a period in a treatment facility. He now lives with Jon, and the two have a close relationship. Collin and Hannah's presence at Jon's wedding in late 2024 underscored their strong bond.

The Other Sextuplets: Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel

The remaining four sextuplets—Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel—have chosen to remain with their mother, Kate Gosselin. Like their older twin sisters, these four have largely stepped away from the media spotlight, focusing on finishing high school and preparing for their futures. Their decision to stay with Kate has maintained the family's fractured dynamic, a source of ongoing tension between the former spouses.

The Lingering Topical Authority: Divorce and Custody Drama

While Jon and Kate are trying to move forward, the shadow of their tumultuous past and the subsequent custody battle continues to define their narrative. The intense public interest in their divorce drama stems from the groundbreaking nature of their TLC reality show, *Jon & Kate Plus 8*, which later became *Kate Plus 8*. The public fascination is fueled by the fact that the two parents have virtually no communication, with Jon confirming in recent interviews that their relationship is non-existent. The stark difference in their current lives—a DJ/IT specialist married man versus a pediatric nurse with a former bodyguard boyfriend—only adds to the compelling, ongoing story of a family that broke apart under the weight of reality TV fame. The current updates in late 2025 prove that the Gosselin family remains one of the most talked-about and complex reality TV legacies.
