According to The Hollywood Reporter last Monday, the cable network has ordered additional hours from the reality star and her eight children, although it's not clear how many specials will be released in the next several months.

The site says that this summer's revival of her show earned a strong 2.1 million viewers when it premiered back in June, although that number is small compared to the nearly 10 million viewers she received back during the peak of her popularity in 2009.

Just recently it's also been rumored that Kate's former bodyguard and boyfriend has reunited with the star and her kids. Steve Neild was caught vacationing with her and her eight kids after reports that said he had gone back to his wife and family.

Earlier this week, Gosselin and Neild were reportedly spotted visiting Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Mass.
