Kate Gosselin, best known from the reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, is now on TikTok — and she’s bringing her dogs, her kids, and some sweet throwbacks along with her.
The former reality star and nurse, now 50, has entered what she calls her “German shepherd dog mom era” and is enjoying connecting with fans online once again.
A New Beginning on TikTok
Kate joined TikTok in July 2025, and her page @kate.gosselin quickly started gaining attention. In her first few videos, Kate introduced her two German shepherd dogs and shared everyday moments with them.
She later posted a video confirming her identity and said that her account was real, even though it’s still waiting for the blue verification check.
In her own words, she said, “There’s gonna be a lot of dogs on it. And kids, but mostly dogs and me,” while joking about how people these days describe their current phase in life. Her fans seem to be loving this more relaxed and personal side of her.
Sharing Old Memories and Updates on Her Children
Kate, who has eight children with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin, also shares some nostalgic content. She’s the mother of 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara, and 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel.
The Gosselin family rose to fame through their hit show Jon & Kate Plus 8, which later became Kate Plus 8 after the couple’s divorce in 2009.
In one of her TikToks, Kate revealed something heartwarming: her now-adult kids are watching their old reality show episodes with their friends and partners. She commented, “Yes! My adult kids are now watching our show with their friends/bf and gfs! Isn’t that cute?”
Healing and Growth After Reality TV
Fans have noticed that Kate seems calmer and more open than during her earlier TV days. In a “Get Ready With Me” video, posted before heading to work as a nurse, she chatted casually while applying makeup and talking about her dogs.
When one viewer commented on her growth, Kate replied, “Your observations are correct. And yes, I am healing and growing every day. Thank goodness :).”
This shows that Kate is in a new phase of her life, focused on healing, family, and peace.
Looking Back on the Good Times
Kate also took fans on a trip down memory lane by posting old photos from a Disneyland vacation in 2010. That was during her time on Dancing with the Stars.
The photos showed her kids enjoying rides and meeting Disney characters. She captioned the post, “Ah the good old days,” and added, “We had a great time! Enjoy these old gems ❤️.”
Her Daughter Speaks Out
Earlier this year, her daughter Hannah spoke to Teen Vogue about growing up in the spotlight. She mentioned that filming brought the siblings closer but also made their parents more distant. She admitted it’s tough to watch the old episodes where her parents argued, but the experience still holds many memories.
Kate Gosselin’s new journey on TikTok offers fans a peek into her current life, filled with dogs, laughter, and growth. Her videos reflect a softer, more grounded version of the once-busy reality star. While she continues to post fun updates, she also shows she’s cherishing her past and embracing what’s ahead.
With her kids now grown and watching old episodes of their family’s show, it’s a full-circle moment for Kate and her followers.
