Kate Gosselin Announces Devastating Family Loss & Social Media Break

Kate Gosselin just announced a devastating family loss and a subsequent social media break.

On Thursday, December 25, the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality star, 50, took to Instagram and TikTok with sad Christmas Day news.

“We suffered an unimaginable loss on Friday night. My soul girl, the rest of me passed away quickly in the car on our way home for Christmas,” Gosselin captioned a photo slideshow of her beloved German shepherd. “I am taking a break from TikTok because I am hurting so deeply. But I know you guys loved her too, so I needed to let you know.”

In the caption of her update, she wrote, “I have no words. One minute, she was here and healthy. The next, she was gone. Her last gift to me was when she got into the truck to leave, she poked her head forward to where I was sitting in the passenger seat and licked my left cheek, twice.”

The mom of sextuplets and twins continued, “I’m trying to replace the traumatic memories and things I can never unsee with that memory. My sweet girl kissing me, saying ‘thank you for taking me on a ‘long bye bye,’ which was her favorite thing in the world. Then, a little over 3 hours later, she was gone. I will never understand it. When I can, I’ll talk about details. For now, I cannot. #souldog #loss #heartbroken.”
