Kate Gosselin renewed her nursing license in North Carolina, In Touch can confirm.

The former reality star, 49, is now renewed as a registered nurse through March 31, 2027. Kate’s nursing license was set to expire on October 31. She originally received an R.N. License in August 1997, 10 years before shooting to fame on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8.

The U.S. Sun was the first to report the news of Kate renewing her nursing license.

The mom of eight is rarely seen in public anymore, living a quiet life away from the cameras at her home in Troutman, North Carolina.

Kate made headlines in 2024 after one of her sextuplets, Collin, accused his mom of abuse after she allegedly locked him in a basement room of her Pennsylvania home when he was a child.

“My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement,” Collin, 20, alleged to The U.S. Sun in an interview published on September 8, 2024. “She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside.”

While recalling the “containment room” that Kate allegedly set up, Collin claimed, “It had a mattress on the floor, and that was how I lived.”

“When my mother would put me in that room multiple times, she had zip-tied my hands and feet together and bolt-locked the door, turned the lights off and had cameras there just watching me,” the former TLC star continued.

While Kate did not publicly responded to Collin’s claims, her attorney, Richard Puleo, told The U.S. Sun that she never “intentionally” harmed Collin and that she “did what she did to protect herself and her family” from her son’s “troubled behavior.”

Two days after his interview was published, Collin discussed his decision to speak out and thanked his father, Jon Gosselin, for fighting for custody of him.

“It has taken a long time to find the strength needed to speak about my mother’s abuse. I have finally found my voice, and I hope to be the voice for children everywhere facing abuse. It is never OK. Your story can be told, just like mine. As well, I wish to bring attention to the system that failed me as a child, and hopefully, in turn, it will help others,” Collin shared via Instagram on September 10, 2024.

“Seeing pictures of my younger self is still incredibly difficult, but today I feel a small sense of justice by speaking it. I’d like to thank my father for fighting so hard to obtain custody of me, and saving me from the institution where I was wrongfully committed,” he added.

TLC was rocked with scandal when the seemingly perfect couple of the hit show Jon & Kate Plus 8 split in 2009 after 10 years of marriage. Kate filed for divorce in June 2009, and it was finalized that December. Kate was awarded full custody of all eight of the couple’s children and Jon, 47, claimed in 2016 that he hadn’t seen all eight of his kids together at the same time in three years. “Most of the time, I get four. I haven’t seen all my kids together in about three years. I only get what I get,” Jon told Steve Harvey.

Jon was granted legal custody of Collin in 2018, when his son was 14 years old. Another sextuplet, Hannah, moved in with her dad and brother the following year. Their siblings and fellow sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis and Leah continued to live with Kate, along with the former couple’s now 24-year-old twins, Mady and Cara.

Jon and Collin previously spoke out about Kate in Vice TV’s Dark Side of the 2000s in 2023.

After the show aired, Kate reflected on her estranged relationship with Collin. She called her son a “very trouble young man” with a “history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies,” in a statement to People in July 2023.

“[He] has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. … Collin’s distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with,” she added about her son.

Jon revealed the last time he talked to his ex-wife during an interview with E! News published on January 31.

He told the outlet that the two “don’t communicate” adding, “I think the last time I heard her voice in person was, like, 2018.”
