Kate Gosselin's Shocking Health Update: Surgery After Dog Incident
EXCLUSIVE: Kate Gosselin's Secret Health Crisis Revealed - and It's a Doozy!
The plot thickens for reality TV star Kate Gosselin, who has been keeping fans on their toes with her latest health scare. The 50-year-old mom of eight has been hospitalized due to a "life-altering" injury that left her in agony.
In a shocking revelation, Kate spilled the beans on her TikTok Live about the incident that landed her in the hospital bed. It all started when her adorable pup Meika (yes, you read that right - her dog!) ran into her full-speed ahead, leaving her with a nasty tibial plateau fracture and a surgery that's considered one of the most painful procedures ever.
But what exactly is a tibial plateau fracture? According to WebMD, it's a severe break in the shin bone or tibia, which is critical to the knee's operation. In other words, Kate's got some serious damage that will require plates and pins to fix.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum revealed on Monday that she was hospitalized for an emergency procedure, but refused to share any details - until now. "Meika, my puppy, ran into me full-speed ahead and I ended up with a tibial plateau fracture and surgery with plates and pins in my leg," Kate confessed while resting in her hospital bed.
The new mom of eight took to TikTok to ask for prayers from her devoted fans, sharing a pic of herself hooked up to an IV. "Please pray for me tonight and tomorrow. I will be fine, but I'm scared and would appreciate your prayers! Thanks, guys," she wrote.
But what's really got everyone talking is Kate's cryptic comment about the surgeon saying it was a "life-altering event." Uh-oh, sounds like this injury is going to have some serious long-term effects!
As if that weren't enough drama for one week, news broke of her secret romance with former bodyguard Steve Neild. Yes, you read that right - she's been keeping company with her ex-bodyguard, who just happens to be 17 years older than her.
But here's the juicy part: in a recent post on his Instagram Story, Kate's son Collin hinted that his mom had an affair with Neild during their marriage. Whoa, that's some serious family drama right there!
When asked for comment, Kate gushed about being "actually, finally" dating again and was "super happy" with her new beau. An insider even claimed they've been living together for over a year and are allegedly discussing wedding plans.
But don't count on getting any more updates from Kate just yet - she's got a long recovery ahead of her, and it looks like she'll be taking some serious pain meds to get through this rough patch. Stay tuned for more updates on the mom of eight's secret health crisis and those juicy romance rumors!
A Word About Kate's Health Issues
In a recent TikTok post, Kate opened up about the health problems she's been dealing with since her last pregnancy. "My stomach was squished up here, like one inch," she explained, describing how her bladder was compressed by the baby weight during her C-section.
