Kate Gosselin made it official in November:
Now, however, plenty of observers around the Internet are wondering if she and this man have also made their relationship official.
Which is to say a lot more clearly: Did Kate Gosselin get married?!?
The mom of eight stirred up speculation that she exchanged vows with her boyfriend and former bodyguard, Steve Neild, in a TikTok post on January 7.
In the footage, which Neild recorded, she’s looking through a shop in New Zealand and has a ring that resembles a wedding band on her ring finger.
A bunch of followers took note and came right ask to inquire over the piece of jewelry.
“Whooaaaa. Did you get married?” one person asked very simply.
As it turns out, these same followers were in for a disappointment.
“No lol,” the polarizing personality responded. “That’s just my regular jewelry.”
Gosselin concluded the video by telling her followers that she spent the equivalent of over $170 in the store.
“And my GoFundMe, Steve, treated me to a few items,” she said. “But he also got a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. It’s really rare that he buys himself any clothing, so I’m really happy and proud of him.”
“Now we’re going to the beach!” she said as the video wrapped up.
This past fall, Gosselin revealed that she was in a relationship, as she told fans in a TikTok she was “super, super happy” and had been dating the mystery man for “a little over a year.”
Her son, Collin, and ex-husband, Jon, fired back shortly after this announcement, though, claiming that Kate has cheated on Jon way back in the day with this same person.
“Guess who really ruined the marriage,” Jon wrote in response at the time.
Collin, for his part, alleged that his mom “had an affair with our bodyguard way back in 2009 and for years would share hotel rooms with him while we went on family vacations” via his Instagram Stories.
“I feel very strongly on the matter of cheating and then blaming someone else for your own actions,” the 21-year old wrote. “Everyone says my dad and I are hung up on my mom. We are not. We have suffered the damage of a narcissist and cried together.”
Jon, meanwhile, remarried in November 2025, saying “I do” to Stephanie Lebo in Pennsylvania. His daughter Hannah, along with Collin, were in attendance.
Collin told Entertainment Tonight he was “very happy,” adding to this outlet:
“With everything he’s been through, it just highlighted even more for me that he’s really deserving of this.”

An 80th birthday celebration is a monumental occasion.
It is truly unfortunate that Dolly Parton will not get to see hers.
Several months ago, the national treasure revealed health challenges while canceling shows.
But this, unfortunately, is a bigger deal than having to postpone a Vegas residency.
Where is Dolly?
On Wednesday, January 7, living legend Dolly Parton appeared on the Instagram page of the Grand Ole Opry.
“Well hey there Grand Ole Opry family,” she began the health update video.
“I just wanted to say how much it means to me that you’re all coming together again this year,” she expressed.
Dolly loves that fans are eager “to celebrate my big ol’ birthday with some of my songs.”
The event to which she refers is Saturday, January 17 — though her birthday will be on the following Monday, the 19th.
“Some of my favorite memories happened right here on stage at the Grand Ole Opry,” Dolly gushed in her video.
“And I wish I could be there in person,” she affirmed.
“But,” Dolly assured her fans and followers, “I’ll be sending you all my love, for sure.”
Just because she won’t be there in person doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t celebrate in style, however.
Dolly urged her fans to attend and “have the best night ever.”
2025 was a hard year for her
Late last summer, Dolly postponed her Vegas residency amidst her largely unspecified health issues.
A litany of other canceled public appearances followed in more recent months.
Despite the grim news, Dolly was quick to crack jokes at her own expense.
In particular, she alluded to how much cosmetic surgery she has had over the years.
This time, she told her fans, it wasn’t just a tune-up on her face and body. She’s having health issues.
All along, Dolly has projected an optimistic outlook.
Whatever ails her, she doesn’t believe that it will be terminal.
Instead, she has framed this as “slowing down” for a while so that she can have many more years of fun and laughter.
It is of course important to note that Dolly’s husband died late last winter. That was ten months ago. He was 82.
Sometimes, a spouse passes away and the widow or widower keeps their memory alive for years or decades to come. But, other times, the heartbreak leads one spouse to follow the other sooner than anyone would like.
What’s making her sick?
One of Dolly’s ailments was a kidney stone. We know that much.
However, it’s clear that there is some sort of broader health issue that she and her medical team are addressing.
It would be irresponsible to speculate wildly on what it might be until we have more information.
Instead, we will simply wish her the best.
Happy early 80th birthday, Dolly. You’re a treasure, and we wish you many many more.

It’s been an eventful week for Kate Middleton.
Things got off to a rocky start thanks to an unexpected controversy sparked by a newspaper article.
As you may have heard, The Times of London ruffled with feathers with a headline reading, “Arise, Queen Kate: The princess’ friends and palace insiders on how she will change the royal family.”
“‘Kate will be a queen who really listens’ — by palace insiders,” read the headline on the online version of the article.
The controversy stems from the fact that Kate is not yet queen consort, and many felt that the article was disrespectful toward King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla.
After all, Charles is battling cancer, and eagerly imagining a future in which he’ll be out of the picture is arguably in poor taste.
Anyway, Kate and Prince William countered the bad press with good today by making a surprise appearance at Charing Cross Hospital in West London.
The goal of the visit was to highlight the work of NHS workers amid a historically difficult flu season.
But as a bonus, the event also shifted the focus away from the “Arise” scandal.
We’re sure it wasn’t her intention, but Kate’s brief comments about her own battle with cancer ensured that the visit would make headlines.
One hospital employee explained that chemotherapy patients and visitors remain in the facility “for hours,” to which Princess Kate replied, “I know. We know” (via People).
“Both of us have had different experiences with hospitals. Me working with the air ambulance; Catherine with her recent health journey,” William said during the visit, adding:
“And coming here today and reminding ourselves just how important all the teams are, all the staff, the patients.
“It’s so heartwarming, and it’s so important that we kind of acknowledge and appreciate all that goes on in the NHS and that very strong bond between patient and carer.”
So it might be inappropriate to prematurely imagine Kate as queen — but weeks like this one remind us that she’ll be an expert and handling mini-controversies of this sort by the time she takes the throne.

As Netflix fans know well by now, Stranger Things has come to an end.
Except… many of these same fans have been asking themselves a pressing question ever since the alleged series finale of this beloved drama hit the streaming service:
Wait, has it really?!?
Might creators Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer ever put the show back into production and make new episodes of the thriller?
“I feel like this season really, truly does close the door on this story,” Ross told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published January 2. “On the story of Hawkins, and the story of the Upside Down and the story of these characters.”
Fair enough. Sad, but fair.
Still, the executive producers won’t completely rule revisiting the original characters — including Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Max (Sadie Sink), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) — in some way, form or fashion down the line.
“I guess never say never,” Ross also told ET, not sounding overly confident this will ever transpire.
“[Maybe] in 20 years, if we’re all broke and need some money [and] we’ve all talked about it,” the director added, noting that the idea is his and Matt’s “safety net.”
Stranger things premiered way back in 2016. It has aired a total of 42 episodes, the last few of which were all feature film length.
Some fans out there have believed a viral conspiracy theory that there is a secret ninth episode of the final season of Netflix series dropping on January 7 at 8 p.m. ET.
According to the Duffers, however?
They have made no official comment on the theory amid ongoing post-series-finale press interviews, but the show’s bios on Netflix’s Instagram, TikTok and X accounts stated as of Wednesday: “ALL EPISODES OF STRANGER THINGS ARE NOW PLAYING.”
Sorry, folks.
“The show has just grown so massive,” Matt Duffer previously said, speaking generally about the conspiracy-theory-addled segments of the show’s fandom.
“Online, there’s just so much misinformation. Just tons of it. We would be here for hours trying to bat down the stuff that was not true.”
Overall, meanwhile, Stranger Things has comprised a full decade in the lives of those involved in it. Most sound content with it being over.
“If there’s a story when we’re all in very, very different stages of our lives, maybe,” Finn told Entertainment Tonight of coming back for more installment. “But I think that the whole point of the show ending is because it’s run its course.”
It is worth noting, though, that the Stranger Things’ Universe isn’t completely closed.
In addition to a documentary titled One Last Adventure — chronicling the making of season five and set to be released on Netflix on January 12 — the Duffer siblings said before that there are two more related projects in the works… one of which is a live-action spinoff that will explore what exactly happened to Henry Creel in the cave.
“The spinoff is going to delve into that and explain that, and you’re going to understand it,” Matt told Variety in an interview published January 1. “But it’s a completely different mythology.
“It’s very fresh and very new, but yes, it will answer some of the loose threads that are remaining.”

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, a widowed single mother named Renee Nicole Good was shot to death by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Predictably, the situation quickly became a hot-button political issue, with President Trump claiming that Good “viciously ran over” the agent, “who is now recovering in the hospital.”
Trump added that it is “hard to believe [the agent] is alive,” despite the fact that he was not run over by a car and video of the incident shows him walking to his own car and driving away from the scene.
Local media outlets, including Fox 9, have now identified the agent as Jonathan Ross.
Many details about Ross’ career — including the length of his tenure with ICE and what sort of training he’s received — are still unclear.
However, Newsweek is reporting that Wednesday’s incident was not the first time in recent months that he was involved in a violent incident involving a vehicle.
According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Ross “got his arm stuck in the window of a vehicle” during a June 17 traffic stop in Bloomington, Minnesota.
He was “dragged” 100 feet during the incident, and he fired his Taser during the struggle, striking the driver.
On that occasion, Ross was involved in the apprehension of a Mexico native who had allegedly entered the country illegally.
Wednesday’s altercation was a different matter entirely, as Good was a US citizen who, by most accounts, was passively observing ICE activity in her neighborhood.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alleged that Good was obstructing the officers in their duties, but video from just before the shooting shows her waving her hand out her car window, encouraging federal vehicles to pass her by.
“This is a guy who’s actually done a very, very important job for the United States of America,” Vice President Vance said of Ross. “He’s been assaulted. He’s been attacked. He’s been injured because of it.”
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Jenny McCarthy doesn’t want to revisit a specific former job.
She’s a former Playboy model. She’s one of the world’s most infamous opponents of vaccination.
And, over a decade ago, she was a panelist on The View.
Would she return as a co-host if they invited her? Not a chance.
In case you blissfully forgot, she was once a co-host on ‘The View’
In 2013 and 2014, for some awful reason, The View producers — clearly in the market for a new primary antagonist — elevated a woman whom many have characterized as a horseman of the apocalypse.
That woman was Jenny McCarthy. She’d be Pestilence specifically, by the way.
Her role on the daytime talk show didn’t last.
Her firing was part of a set of sweeping changes that caught some good people (gosh we love Sherri Shepherd).
Now, McCarthy is vowing that she’d never return.
This week, McCarthy sat down as a guest on The Katie Miller podcast.
Yes, that Katie Miller. Wife of far-right white nationalist member of the Trump regime, Stephen Miller.
The Katie Miller who was recently rumored to be having some sort of thing going on with Elon Musk. (She sure can pick ’em, huh?)
“The reason why they wanted to bring me on is because they, quote, said it was too polarizing,” McCarthy claimed about her time on The View a dozen years ago. “They thought it was too polarizing back then, you guys!”
McCarthy shared that her initial role on the show was to offer “light, fluffy, and fun” commentary on nonsense topics like reality TV.
After a while, producers asked her to express her unsavory political beliefs
That light, fluffy drive “only lasted a whole week,” McCarthy claimed.
“And back then, I didn’t consider myself to be a political person,” she admitted.
(Just for the record, in 2013, she was already infamous for the alarming and non-scientific anti-vaccine nonsense that came spewing out of her mouth)
“Which is why I thought I was perfect for the job,” McCarthy claimed.
“After a week, when they said they wanted to get political, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to do?’” she alleged.
According to McCarthy, producers suggested that she might “act Republican” in order to face off with her fellow co-hosts. That shouldn’t really be a challenge, given, you know, everything about her.
At the time, she didn’t believe herself to be political. She admits that she is “much more political” now.
McCarthy gushed that “our latest administration has helped so much.”
Members of the Trump regime have canceled cancer research, altered language on limiting alcohol consumption, and are pushing Americans to consume more red meat.
And, of course, they’re ending a slew of vaccine recommendations that have helped millions of Americans live healthy lives for generations.
McCarthy isn’t the only person who embodies the ‘Pestilence’ horseman, by the way
“But, back then? Ooh, I would not, I would never even,” McCarthy said.
“They’ve asked me to come back for, like, reunion shows,” she claimed.
McCarthy added: “I was like, over my dead body would I ever step foot in that place.”
Well, that sounds like a plan! (Avoiding places that you don’t like, we mean)
The View does need a primary antagonist in order to thrive. Meghan McCain, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and Candace Cameron Bure are all examples.
But while obviously none of those women are good people, they arguably managed to play their roles without endangering children or their families with anti-science bunk. Could McCarthy do the same?
