Kate Gosselin opened up about dating again 10 years after her divorce from Jon Gosselin and explained whether or not she can ever see herself walking down the aisle again.

“[The dating show] was my idea so I was definitely on board,” the 44-year-old reality star told Fox News in a piece published Monday when asked about her new show on TLC “Kate Plus Date.” (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)

“I’ve been divorced for 10 years and it felt fun and exciting and it was actually my idea because there is more than, I mean there’s many single parents out there, and a lot of them are too, like me, too tired to date, too exhausted, busy taking care of your kids and that’s how I found myself in that position in the first place,” she added.  (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)

The former “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star then explained that dating online just wasn’t an option because it “creeps me out” and having a film crew with her made her feel “safe.”

“I know it works for people. Not slating it,” Gosselin shared. “But it was that option or not dating at all.”

“It’s real dating. It’s real guys that are really single,” she added.”I was willing, but we found some [men], and the truth is it ended up being so much more than just a dating show. I learned so much about myself, about people’s intentions, about why they do what they do, it got me out of the house and I even got out of the house alive, so that I could go on some date.”

The reality star said dating again 20 years later was “extremely intimidating” and admitted a lot has changed since she and Jon first got together.

“It was completely different. Completely different. I couldn’t even take any [of the] things I had learned from dating back when I was 20-something,” Kate admitted. “I was 20. Single. Social media didn’t even exist. Now I’m a parent of eight kids with all of the social media and technology, and honestly, it was like I didn’t even have times of reflecting back because that information was all but useless to me.”

“It was like two different people dating and that’s what was so scary because it was like completely new and super scary with a lot of pressure on me to get it right this time for the sake of myself and my kids, so it was very intimidating,” she added. “Extremely intimidating.”

And when asked if she thinks marriage will ever be in her future again, she explained that, “I don’t like the ‘M’ word.”

“Everybody keeps saying that and that actually gives me like anxiety and panic honestly,” Gosselin shared. “But I mean, again, that’s a situation we’ll deal with it when we get there and I don’t even think that by the time somebody is talking about getting married if it’s right, I don’t, it’s obviously not going to cause me anxiety and panic.”

Gosselin concluded stating, “So I can’t say yes and I can’t say no.”

Kate and Jon have eight kids together, eighteen year-old twin daughters Madelyn and Cara and 15-year-old sextuplets – Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
