Kate Gosselin denied she’s married after fans spotted her wearing a sparkling diamond ring in a recent TikTok video with boyfriend Steve Neild.
The reality TV personality shared a video of herself shopping for clothing during which the multi-tiered ring — on her left finger — noticeably glittered.
“Whooaaaa. Did you get married? I am so happy that you are happy. And how have you kept the weight off over your recovery?” one person queried, referencing the star’s recovery from a tibial plateau fracture that she sustained in September.
Another wrote, “Wedding ring perhaps!???”
Gosselin, 50, quickly denied she tied the knot, commenting, “No lol that’s just my regular jewelry. I didn’t — I gained 15 pounds but hope now that I’m moving around it’ll go 😩”
In the clip, the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” alum rifled through racks of skirts and swimwear while enjoying a vacation with partner Neild in New Zealand, captioning the video on Wednesday, “Go shopping on Waiheke Island with us!”
She was also seen navigating the island shop on crutches due to her injury — a doctor gave her permission to gradually start walking again in December.
The “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” personality went Instagram official with her former bodyguard back in November, after years of speculation they’d had an affair.
Page Six exclusively reported in September that the mom of eight, who shares her children with ex-husband Jon Gosselin, was living with Neild and that they’d been together “for a long time.”
“They have wedding plans, it’s that serious,” an insider divulged at the time.
“There’s no doubt that Kate is crazy about him … they have discussed wedding plans and moving on that next stage.”
Neild began working for the famous family back in 2008, and Kate vehemently denied accusations of an affair a year later.
“The scary thing for me is [the tabloids] are going to take information and create a story. It’s a matter of, ‘When will they stop?’ They’re going to keep going, and they’ll make up stuff to connect the dots,” she told People in May 2009 — the same year she split from Jon.
Rumors resurfaced in September when she shared a love life update on social media that month, noting that she’s been in a romantic relationship for “a little over a year, maybe 14 [or] 15 months.”
Collin and Jon — who married Stephanie Lebo in November — blasted Kate on social media after her romance with Neild emerged.
“Guess who really ruined the marriage,” Jon, 48, wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing a screenshot of Page Six’s coverage of the pair’s relationship. “Read for yourself.”
Collin took to Instagram Stories with a lengthy statement of his own, writing in part, “Now everyone thinks her being with him is some cute novel romance.”
Kate sometimes provides updates on her grown kids — Madelyn, Cara, Aaden, Alexis, Leah and Joel — on social media, as well.
Two of the eight children, Colin and Hannah, sided with their father following the family’s tumultuous custody battle, while the remainder landed in Kate’s care.
Collin, 21, subsequently accused his mom of abuse before he was transferred to his father’s care — an allegation she denied.
In August, he also accused Kate of being complicit in his estrangement from his siblings in a TikTok clip of his own.
“I will always love them more than anything,” the reality star wrote, seemingly accusing Kate of “pitt[ing]” them “against each other.”
Kate, for her part, seemingly denied being responsible for the famous siblings’ estrangement. A fan posted a screenshot of Collin’s TikTok under an August TikTok by Kate, to which she replied, “He knows why..😢”
