Steve Neild’s hand has entered the chat.
During a recent TikTok Live, Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard-turned-boyfriend gave her a hot latte as she answered fan questions about him.
“Oh, thank you! Oooh, latte!” she exclaimed after Neild handed her the coffee mug.
Some of the comments read, “We saw a hand 😂,” “Big hands 😂!” and “Hi boyfriend,” prompting the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star to confirm, “Yes, he handed me — he made me a latte ’cause I didn’t get time to make one before. He’s very kind.”
Someone else chimed in, “Hello to the boyfriend!!” which Gosselin read aloud before she turned her head to look at Neild off camera.
“He waved,” she informed her followers before reading another question, “Can you do a Live with your boyfriend in the future?”
The former reality personality replied, “He’s not very fond. I won’t rule it out, but he’s not overly crazy about this whole thing.”
When a TikTok user noted that Gosselin, 50, deserves to be “treated like a queen,” she responded, “I agree.”
The mother of eight then noted that “so many want to see him” as she leaned out of frame and asked, “Are you listening to all this?”
She also “agree[d]” that “this is a good Kate era,” adding, “It’s very nice to be happy.”
Last week, Gosselin — who shares twins and sextuplets with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin — announced that she’s “actually, finally” dating again, claiming that she’s been in a relationship for “a little over a year, maybe 14, 15 months.”
During their marriage, which lasted from 1999 to 2009, Kate and Jon welcomed Madelyn and Cara, 24, as well as Aaden, Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Collin and Joel, 21.
The former couple then went through a contentious divorce that divvied up the kids.
Following Kate’s dating admission, Page Six revealed that her new man is Neild, who began working for her in 2008.
Jon — who had previously been accused of cheating on Kate — later took to his Instagram to post a screenshot of our article, writing, “Guess who really ruined the marriage. Read for yourself.”
The DJ went on, “Maybe when I speak people will listen now!!! … I told you all. … No one believed me I guess I was right.”
Collin, who’s been estranged from his mother for years, took to his own account to back up his father’s allegation.
“My 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, while I was in a connected room!” he claimed before urging Kate to “just come forward and be truthful.”
