Kate Gosselin's kids might be growing up, but the reality TV mom continues to turn back time!
The mother-of-8 looks better than ever in a sneak peek at "Kate Plus 8," which returns in December with family fun, vacations and even first dates.
After a rocky divorce, Kate is more than ready to jump back into the dating scene. However, she seems a little nervous about putting herself out there. "Since being divorced I can't even say I'm in the world of dating because I don't get it,” Kate explains in clip from the upcoming premiere. Kate's straightforward parenting style translates to her dating life as well. “I make it very clear, if it's not happening, it's not happening,” she says.
However, after what seems like a great first date -- which included a sunset helicopter ride over the New York City skyline -- Kate gushes, "He piqued my interest.”
"What is the proper end-of-date goodnight? I don't know," she adds as she's shown awkwardly ending the evening by hopping into a car.
The preview also gives us a good glimpse at the family's summer trip to Florida, where the 40-year-old mother proudly flaunts her bikini body at the beach. The hot mama is definitely in amazing shape -- it's hard to believe she's had eight kids!
Also this season: Teenagers Mady and Cara are about to start high school, as 11-year-old Leah, Hannah, Alexis, Collin, Joel, and Aidan really start developing their own unique personalities.
"Kate Plus 8" returns to TLC on December 8.
