Kate Gosselin's plan to move out of Pennsylvania had been in the works for a few years, according to the New York Post. The reality star reportedly purchased the home she currently lives in back in 2018 — the same year that Jon Gosselin got full custody of Collin and Hannah Gosselin. The mom of eight officially sold her home in Pennsylvania in 2021, after originally listing the home for sale in 2020.
As for why Kate decided it was time to downsize, a source told InTouch weekly that it was due to financial issues. "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. Finances were always an issue, though. Kate had been living way above her means for years," the source explained. "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," the source added.
Kate and Jon's kids are all out of high school and are preparing for the next steps in life — for many of them, that means college, which can be costly. As for what Kate does to earn money these days, a report from InTouch claims that she's gone back to nursing. And, in 2022, she took part in a new reality series to boost the family's cash flow.
