Kate Gosselin’s “bodyguard” Steve advised her on her breast implants

So, the general consensus is that Kate Gosselin is boning her bodyguard Steve Neild, right? That’s how it’s always struck me, and I just asked CB, and she thinks it’s on between Kate and Steve too. Why do we think this? Probably because he spends way more time with Kate than with his wife. And because he and Kate are literally always together. And because he advises her on things like her breast implants.

Bosom buddy, indeed! Mom of eight Kate Gosselin, 35, is rarely seen without her trusted bodyguard of three years, Steve Neild. During her recent run on Dancing with the Stars, a show source says, the New Zealander was “omnipresent on the set — at rehearsals, on the press line, everywhere!”

And now a source says in the new Us Weekly the married father of two not only drove Gosselin to the doctor when she got breast enhancements March 30, 2009, but even weighed in on what the result should be: “Kate was going to have one kind of breast augmentation, but she changed her mind after talking to Steve about what would look best.”

(Multiple sources tell Us Weekkly the procedure — which can cost $10,000 — took place. Gosselin went from a size 4 shirt to a size 6 shirt.)

Asked about a boob job earlier this year, Gosselin responded, “Plastic surgery? Please. Who has time to even think about it, let alone do it?”

Well, she did: The TLC star’s tummy tuck was documented on a 2007 episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8!

Could this all be innocent? Sure. If I was considering implants (HA, I’m a DD-cup), I would consult various men (not necessarily lovers), just to get their take on what kind of size and stuff they prefer, in general. I’ve actually considered breast reduction, and I’ve already asked various men what they think about that (a resounding “HELL NO”). So is Us Weekly twisting something innocent? Eh. I still think she and Steve are getting it on.
