Kate Gosselin Engaged? Not So Fast, Says Reality TV Mom of 8

By    |   Wednesday, 03 June 2015 10:09 AM EDT

Kate Gosselin sported a new ring this past weekend at the TLC Summer Block Party in Philadelphia, igniting rumors that she is now engaged to millionaire boyfriend Jeff Prescott. Not so fast, she says, the ring was just for her birthday.

The former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star took to Twitter to knock down the engagement rumors, even going so far as to claim she's not even dating at the moment, according to E! News.


Gosselin's ring was a point of curiosity among many fans attending the TLC fan function in Philadelphia last weekend, noted E! News.

And despite Gosselin's insistence that she's not dating, Us Weekly reported that Prescott treated her to a night on the town in Philadelphia last month, including dinner at the pricey restaurant Talula's Garden and gambling at Valley Forge Casino Resort.

"Jeff is a really, really good guy," a source told Us Weekly. "He is very respectful of Kate and her family."

Gosselin was married to her first husband Jon Gosselin from 1999 to 2009, giving birth to a set of twins, and then sextuplets, according to the Daily Mail. Their TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" launched in 2007 and was one of the first hits for the network.


The two were married until 2009. Gosselin's twin daughters, Cara and Madelyn, are now 14, and the sextuplets – Aaden, Collin, and Joel, and their sisters Leah, Alexis, and Hannah – are 11, noted the Daily Mail.

Since the end of the reality series and divorce, Jon Gosselin has struggled to find steady employment, but according to Philly.com, he completed a successful $20,000 gig as a DJ in Atlantic City last month and is considering running for state representative in Pennsylvania.
