Kate Gosselin Takes Off Her Wedding Band

As her estranged husband gallivants around New York City and the Hamptons with other women, Kate Gosselin has taken a more subtle step toward a new life: She’s removed her wedding band.

The reality star was photographed Friday for the first time without her ring during a coffee run near her Pennsylvania home.

Just last month, removing the ring seemed like a symbolic gesture that the mother of eight was not yet ready to make. “I haven’t taken off my ring,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “It would devastate my kids. It’s not necessary. I was looking at it while I was in the shower this morning, and I thought, I’m not taking it off. I’m not ready.”
