Kate Gosselin: Former ‘Kate Plus 8’ Star Spotted in North Carolina
Kate Gosselin hasn’t been seen much since Kate Plus 8 has been off the air. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been living her life. The erstwhile reality star was recently spotted in North Carolina after it was revealed she’d moved there from her old home in Pennsylvania.
Kate Gosselin looked ‘unrecognizable,’ according to reports
InTouch confirmed that Kate Gosselin recently moved to North Carolina. The outlet reports that the former reality star purchased a home in the town of Troutman, and the lakefront home has about 3500 sq. ft., with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Gosselin reportedly paid $750,000 for the house.
While the report claimed that Gosselin was “unrecognizable,” a source close to the Kate Plus 8 star confirmed that the move had to do with her financial issues. It is also unclear how much the former reality star earns as a nurse today.
“Kate had been living a relatively normal life in Pennsylvania for years after her reality show fame began to fizzle out. The kids were in school and they kept her busy,” the source said to the outlet. “Finances were always an issue, though. Kate had been living way above her means for years. She had sporadic deals. … It was not enough income to cover their way of life. Her bills were high [with] private school tuition, out-of-state college, a huge house and property.”
She’d moved to North Carolina after selling her home
In October 2020, People revealed that Kate Gosselin had put her Pennsylvania mansion up for sale. The home, which is where many episodes of her popular reality show were filmed, was located in Wernersville.
The home boasted six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and more than 7000 sq. ft. What’s more, the home also was nestled on more than 20 acres of private land, and it featured lush landscaping everywhere.
Although the home was initially listed for $1.3 million, InTouch (via The Sun) revealed that the home was ultimately sold for only $1.1 million, which is what the Gosselins paid for the property when they first bought it back in 2008.
Gosselin is now staying out of the limelight
A source close to Kate Gosselin revealed to InTouch that the former reality show star prefers to live her life outside of the limelight now. The source revealed that Gosselin had received a “multi-state” nursing license in 2021. And the outlet confirmed that the license is valid until 2023.
But as fans of the popular reality show are aware, Gosselin was a labor and delivery nurse in Pennsylvania before she achieved reality TV fame. So, this news doesn’t come as too much of a shock to those who have been following her career. It’s not clear, however, if she’s going back to her former specialty or if she has a new one altogether.
Hopefully, Kate Gosselin is much happier now than she had been in the past.
