So much for my theory that Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard boyfriend ditched her. There may be a very good reason why we didn’t see Kate’s not-so-undercover lover in the most recent set of photos of her on vacation in Australia – he was taking the pictures. Hollybaby points out that Steve was sitting on a balcony overlooking Kate when she was sunbathing and showing off her spraytan abs. (You can see those photos at Hollywood Tuna and Hollybaby has more.) Hollybaby posits the theory that it was none other than Steve who took the photos of Kate sucking in her gut and sold them to the photo agencies.
Uh-oh! Has Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard and rumored lover Steve Nield overstepped the boundaries of his position? It’s his job to protect Kate and her eight kids against intruders, including paparazzi, but could he actually be the one who took the photos of Kate in a bikini in Australia and sold them to photo agencies? And did he do it with Kate’s approval?
Just looking at the railing in these photos, and you can see that the pics were taken from the same balcony that Steve was sitting on. Either he is a lousy bodyguard who can’t chase a way a paparazzo, or he is the one who took the photos! And does it seem weird that Kate was sucking in her stomach while she lay out in her bikini — maybe she knew she was being photographed!
According to a fan site, the resort that Kate and her kids stayed at has very expensive rates and a pretty exclusive list. “There’s no way REAL paps would ever be able to afford it,” The Grapevine notes. Rooms at the Mooloolaba Beach Resort (located about an hour away from Brisbane) start at $550 a night for a two-bedroom suite during off-season, but it’s the middle of summer in Australia now, so it’s even more pricey, and weekend rates reach as high as $2,200 a night!
“I bet all along Steve has been taking photos of Kate with her permission and selling the photos and splitting the proceeds with Kate,” a reader of The Grapevine shares.
Wow, doesn’t this whole scenario seem a bit off? And it appears that guests at the resort were not happy with Kate and her crew being there. “Thanks to an Aussie who’s family stayed at the resort at the same time, we learned that Kate acted like a total bitch/diva,” the site claims. “The kids are cute, and the TLC crew wrecked havoc on the property traipsing about, filming, without a care for the experience of the other guests!”

We saw firsthand what a diva Kate Gosselin was when she was in Alaska visiting Sarah Palin and knew she was being filmed. I’m sure this story about her acting like a mean bitch is true.
But here’s a potential wrench in that theory – Hollybaby also has a photo of Steve sitting on the balcony overlooking Kate. So who took that picture? If Steve was taking the photos, you’d think there wouldn’t be any pictures of him at all. Maybe someone threw that photo in there to throw off the scent of Joe Simpson, but it sounds too complicated. I’ve already thought too hard about this, and that means having to look through those photos of Kate in a bikini again. There’s nothing that woman could do to look sexy short of getting a personality transplant.
