Where Are The 'Kate Plus Eight' Stars Now?

It's been quite a few years since Jon and Kate Gosselin first introduced TV viewers to their large brood on Jon & Kate Plus 8. The series followed the young couple as they raised their twins, Mady and Cara, and sextuplets, Leah, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, and Joel. The show ultimately ran for 11 seasons, updated as Kate Plus 8 following their contentious divorce in 2009, and wrapped up in 2017.

Now that the kids are grown up, Kate is returning to TLC tonight with a brand new show all to herself, Kate Plus Date. This time, she will share the spotlight with 10 matchmaker-approved bachelors vying for her heart.

Without a steady stream of reality TV updates, you might be wondering what Kate and the rest of her family are up to now.

While Kate shares photos commemorating childhood milestones on Instagram and gushes about how proud she is of all of her eight children in the captions, there isn't much known about the other siblings.

She will have the chance to date 10 different bachelors during the six-part series. "If I'm going to date someone, I can't just go out on a date-it's creepy to me to think of just going out somewhere with some stranger," the 44-year-old told People .
