Kate Gosselin and her bodyguard, Steve Neild - are they, or aren't they?  That is the question, right?  Wonder no more, because an "expert" is revealing the messages the two are sending!

More photos after the jump

From Usmagazine.com:

Kate Gosselin and bodyguard Steve Neild are "in sync," a body language expert tells Usmagazine.com after examining a photo of the two taken Tuesday at an airport in Maryland.

"They're both walking in sync, which sends the message that they are alike," Janine Driver, the author of You Say More Than You Think (out January 2010), tells Us.

"The fact that that they are passing some travel documents to one another without looking at each other is what body language experts call a 'Probing Point' or a 'Hot Spot,'" Driver explains. "We usually look at the person we are handing something to, but to not do that sends the message that they might be trying to convince us of something, i.e. that they have no connection.

"Truthful and transparent people convey information and are natural, but people who are holding something back try to convince us of something," Driver goes on.

(But, she cautions, "it doesn't mean they are having an affair -- if only it were that easy to bust someone!" However, the newest issue of Us Weekly reports that Jon was so suspicious of their "inseparable" relationship, he considered hiring a private investigator.)

Kate and Neild's body language reminds Driver of another couple -- who once tried to downplay their relationship as well.

"We saw similar 'convincing' body language with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt during the promotion of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but we all know there was more to the story there!"

Driver also examined the photo of Jon and Kate that appeared on last week's cover of Us Weekly, which revealed Jon had a three-month affair with a 23-year-old teacher.

"She's walking behind him, and Jon is actually calling the shots there. That facial expression, the way her hand is up and curled -- that shows frustration," the body language expert tells Us "She is looking down [to the] right, which is deep emotion -- she's processing deep emotions there."

Driver points out that "93 percent of what we communicate with others is non verbal -- that's scientifically proven."

So, does this "expert" have the facts?  Well, what about someone who claims to have seen Kate and Steve holding hands?  Yep, someone did.

From TMZ:

According to Detroit radio personality Mojo from Mojo in the Morning, "Jon & Kate Plus 8's" Kate Gosselin is getting hands on with her bodyguard -- and he saw it with his own eyes!

Mojo says he saw Kate and her busted weave last night at the Marriott with her hired protector, Steve Neild... and they were holding hands!

Neild's wife Gina says any talk of an affair between her husband and Kate is "ridiculous."  But friends say Kate confessed that she and Jon are done and neither want to work on their marriage or keeping their family together.

I find that hard to believe - why go forward with their TV show if they're going to split?  Jon & Kate Plus 8 is supposed to show a mom and dad and their daily struggles - and joys - of raising multiples.  Or maybe the show will now focus on how a divorcing couple protects their children during the split?  Talk about a ratings boost!
