It looks as though Kate Gosselin isn't as single as she says she is. A new report says that the TLC network desperately tried to hide her relationship from her bodyguard and rumored boyfriend Steve Neild while they were filming specials for the network last year.

According to In Touch Weekly on Wednesday, the network supposedly went even as far as hiding paparazzi photos of the alleged couple together.

An insider close to Gosselin said, "The TLC network bought the photos so the public couldn't see them. The network felt the steamy photos of their alleged romance could have harmed Kate's reputation."

Meanwhile, in a new interview with In Touch Weekly's print edition earlier this month (via E! Online), Gosselin says that the media has it wrong when it comes to her personality and that she's not as "cruel" as some people make her out to be.

Gosselin said in an interview with the magazine, "People think I'm mean and b----y. but I'm actually laidback and I don't have an ego!"

What's more, she also talked about her lack of a love life and how she doesn't meet new people very often. The mother-of-eight also said she wouldn't mind dating again, especially if she happens to meet the right guy in her life.

She said, "The truth is I don't really leave my house very much and that's the truth. I'm just so busy with kids. I don't have a lot of help and it's just so much. I'm really focused on [my kids] right now, but yeah, if the right person presented themselves, absolutely. I've always said that."
