Looks like 158 or so miles for Kate, 131 for Jon, though I bet his drive would be longer in hours. Been both places.. I'd choose Rockville. But if my kids were in PA, I'd be there, I think. Maybe best not to be so close in this situation, especially when Jon starts bringing his girls around (seems inevitable). As for the bodyguard, would be easier to guard someone who does live close to where you do. and who would fly in and out of the same airport.

except the bodyguard hasn't been seen for a while. There are new bodyguards, maybe Kate is in damage control over the rumours, and put him on the backburner till all the hoopla cools a bit.

Bodyguard Steve is so "fione" that he would make anyone who was on his arm look nice. If Kate is in fact dating him my only comment would be that her taste in men has certainly improved. Fine = he alright while Fione = dayummmmmmmm he looks yummy

Well there ya go. I had a feeling there was going to be no way Kate would just stay home when it was Jon's time with the kids, if even to be the martyr.

did she ever say she was going to stay in the house when it was Jon's turn to have the kids.

No, she didn't say it. But a large part of the viewing audience thought she would stay.

If she really is dating her bodyguard, who is in contact with those children so often, it's a terrible decision. Talk about boundary issues.

Where did you see that? I don't think people in this thread thought she would stay in the house, nor play the martyr.

Talk about boundary issues. --------------------------------------- most telling line in the Just Jared piece: Of note: Bodyguard Steve Neild also lives in Maryland. There haven't been any stories or photos out there of Kate and this bodyguard doing anything, at least not that I've seen. As far as I know, only Jon has been dating

There have been stories about Kate and the bodyguard going around for a while. No pics, but reports.

What a strange life for those kids. Mommy lives in Maryland. Daddy lives in NYC. And we all live in Pennsylvania! I guess having never been to those parts, I have no concept of how close they are to each other, but it just seems odd to me!

Too strange that she choses to live where the bodyguard lives, especially when he's no longer seen "bodyguarding" her. Also, re all the reports about them having a thing, where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

That's what I thought, Brenda1966. Seems like it would feel more like double abandonment to the kids with both mom and dad having a separate life away from them.

http://www.hollywoodgrind.com/kate-gosselin-rehires-steve-neild/ Now that Jon Gosselin has moved on, Kate Gosselin has rehired Steve Neild, who is the bodyguard Kate was accused of cheating on Jon with. Unless Neild and his wife are already preparing for their own divorce, it’s hard to imagine he would cheat with tummy tuck Kate publicly.

living in TX, i have absolutely no concept of how living in another state would work. heck, half way to Colorado from my house you are still in TX!LOL but, I agree Naja, I think it would be weird for the kids.

Holly, there was only one report of Kate and the bodyguard and the media outlet that reported it has since said that the rumour came directly from Jon. There has never been one single confirmation or accusation from anyone/any source other then Jon. I don't know if Kate is with anyone or not (including the bodyguard) but the bodyguard rumour seems totally bogus, especially considering that he was also Jon's bodyguard up until he quit when this rumour started. Also I love the wording.... Kate is moving to a specific neighborhood and the bodyguard's family lives in the SAME STATE. Not the same neighborhood, not even the same city just the same state. I know Maryland isn't that big compared to other states but geez... that's the link? LOL

Luckily we don't convict people in court on smoke... And yes, Tisha, "stories" but even the bottom of the barrel tabloid claiming that they had been seen holding hands had NO pictures and you know the paparazzi have dogged Kate's every step for months.. If someone is your bodyguard, that is certainly going to create the smoke because a bodyguard stays close to a person. ========== But of course, I wasn't willing to conclude that Jon was partying with the teacher when the first reports came in, even the first pictures where he was just posing with people at the bar. Some later pictures did make me think that the Jon smoke was a real fire. And I certainly cannot dismiss any possibility with Kate.. time will tell. Kind of lost faith when Jon proved me wrong. ========== As for the separate lives, I guess that comes when the kids don't live with one parent or the other. I'm of mixed feelings about what is best.. living with a primary parent, usually the mom, with steady, consistent time with the other parent, or this kids stay one place, parents switch off thing. I guess with this manykids it does make some sense since it doesn't involve 8 of them having to pack up to visit one parent. I do think the NY and MD locations.. well it isn't that they are out of state, but that they are approx 3 hours away from the kids. Really think or wish both of them would be closer because they'd be more available for school events and for those emergencies that will crop up.

I was thinking the same thing about the distance, Sea. Theres' no way I'd want to be a couple hundred miles away from my kids if there were an emergency. It's not like they have to be. They are choosing to be. There are apartments closer than NY and MD

WHy doesn't the parent who is "off" just live in the apartment above the garage? Oh, nevermind, that would be putting the kids first.

Kate Gosselin doesn't hire the bodyguard. TLC does. Nield has done security for Discovery Communications, TLC's parent company, for years. The Gosselins are but one of the clients he has provided security for. TLC is based in Silver Spring, Maryland, 2 miles from Rockville.

<TLC is based in Silver Spring, Maryland, 2 miles from Rockville.> Rissa, see, 2 miles! heh Doubt that he'd live across the state from where he works. It still smells like a rat to me that Kate chose this particular place to rent an apartment. Who else does she know there besides the bodyguard? Did she live in MD before Pennsylvania?

RFLOL Holly! Like I said, I have no idea whether or not Kate has one boyfriend or a hundred, whether it's the bodyguard or the entire executive board at TLC... just that as far as rumours go, this one is a dud. It's based on a single statement made by Jon many months ago and then never repeated (even though it would benefit his agenda to damage Kate's reputation) and with all the media attention, no-one has been able to get one iota of support for it. Not even subtle innuendo from frenemies. I find it much more likely that Kate picked Rockville because it's 2 miles from TLC headquarters and she is still after a media career after all. Where is it that the bodyguard lives specifically?

ALso, if there was any possible truth to the relationship why on earth would TLC reassign him to Kate? It would be a massive business mistake.

2 miles from TLC headquarters explains a lot! She's making herself very available to them it would appear. Maybe she can get something going without involving the kids?
