  • Kate Gosselin’s Ex-Hubby, Jon, Has A New Flame — Meet Colleen

    Back in May, Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin was seen with rumored boyfriend, millionaire Jeff Prescott at the Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia.

    The reality star’s diamond ring sparked the news that she moved on from ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, whom she had eight children with.

    However, Kate blasted the rumors via a Twitter post and explained she was not engaged and that she only wore the ring in celebration of her 40th birthday.

    And now, it’s Jon’s turn to show he has found love once more.

    Last Friday, the former reality show star was spotted with his new girlfriend, Colleen Conrad in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

    The couple, who knew each other since they were kids, looked happy as they wore big smiles on their faces while walking and holding hands.

    The two reportedly met each other again nine months ago and have already been living under the same roof for eight months.

    Will Colleen Conrad be the last in Jon’s long list of women he has dated since his divorce from Kate in 2009?

    After all, Conrad, who is a registered nurse, has already met the former reality star’s eight children: 14-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and the 10-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel.

    Conrad, who works as case manager at The Reading Hospital and Medical Center, was also observed to be supportive of Jon’s DJ stints.

    Jon’s new girlfriend was present at his gig at the First Annual White Affair in Wyomissing, and onlookers attest to the couple’s sweetness, as they shared intimate moments while in the DJ booth.

    Though Jon claims to earn consistent income as a DJ, he still doesn’t have custody of his children.

    Nevertheless, a person close to Jon has informed Us Weekly that he is working on getting full custody of his daughter Hannah.

  • Colleen Conrad: 5 Things About Jon Gosselin’s New Love Interest

    Colleen Conrad and Jon Gosselin have been dating for about nine months now. They’ve been living together for eight. So who is this new woman in Jon Gosselin’s life? How does she fit with the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star and his eight offspring?

    There’s nothing particularly remarkable about Colleen Conrad. She’s not a reality show star. In fact, she’s not involved in the entertainment industry at all. She’s not a millionaire like Kate Gosselin’s boyfriend Jeff Prescott.

    Here are five things that she is, however.

    1. Colleen Conrad is a registered nurse.

    2. She was a childhood friend. Jon Gosselin and Colleen Conrad grew up together in Wyommissing, Pennsylvania.

    3. She is a divorced mom of two teenagers.

    4. Colleen Conrad supports Jon Gosselin’s work as a DJ.

    5. She has yet to meet Kate Gosselin.

    Jon and Kate Gosselin have been divorced since late in 2009. They are parents to twins Mady and Cara, who are 14, as well as 11-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis, and Hannah. Colleen Conrad has met all of Jon Gosselin’s children.

    Jon Gosselin and Colleen Conrad were spotted in public recently, and unabashedly showed their affection for one another. The two were seen walking down the street holding hands.

    Do you think Jon Gosselin has become responsible enough to maintain a relationship? He was known for a while following his split from Kate Gosselin as a serial dater. He had many girlfriends but none of his relationships lasted for very long.

    Maybe Colleen Conrad has what it takes to convince Jon Gosselin to settle down again.

    Do you remember what line of work Kate Gosselin was in before she had the sextuplets? That’s right. She was a registered nurse.

    Might history soon repeat itself for Jon Gosselin or is Colleen Conrad’s profession nothing but coincidence?

  • Kate Gosselin: Is She Engaged to Jeff Prescott? Diamond Ring Fuels Speculation

    Is Kate Gosselin engaged to Jeff Prescott? The former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star was spotted wearing a diamond engagement ring at a TLC event in Philadelphia this weekend, fueling speculation that Kate Gosselin might not be single for too much longer.

    If she is, in fact, engaged, how will Jon Gosselin take the news? He and Kate Gosselin have been embroiled in a heated battle over care of their eight children ever since they separated several years ago. Jon Gosselin likely won’t react well if he learns there’s about to be a stepdad in his kids’ lives.

    Kate Gosselin was beaming at the TLC block party in Philly, where she signed autographs and chatted with her fans.

    Was her happiness over her work for TLC or a recent marriage proposal from millionaire Jeff Prescott?

    Kate Gosselin has said in recent interviews that she isn’t against settling down if the right man comes along, but that her children would always be her number one priority. Given a recent custody squabble between her and Jon Gosselin over one of their daughters, Hannah, that statement might not ring completely true with everyone.

    Do you think Kate Gosselin has become secretly engaged? And if so, what is she waiting for? Why isn’t she sharing her exciting news with all her fans?

  • Kate Gosselin Claims Only Some of Her Children Visit Dad Jon Gosselin

    Kate Gosselin claims that only some of her eight children visit their father, Jon Gosselin.

    According to a report from E! News, the former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star spoke about her ex-husband recently, and what kind of relationship she and the kids have with him.

    “I don’t have one,” the former Celebrity Apprentice star said of her relationship status with Jon Gosselin. “I keep the peace. Some of the kids visit and some don’t. That’s for the best.”

    Kate Gosselin claims her children are encouraging her to find love again, however.

    “They are encouraging me more and more. I just don’t have a lot of time to be out there to be searching for someone! I would love to date! And I would love for the kids to have that male role model,” she says. What kind of man is the former nurse interested in dating? “He has to be comfortable with the publicity, my eight kids—and all the noise in my house!” she says in an upcoming issue of In Touch.

    Kate has been linked in the past to bodyguard Steve Neild as well as wealthy businessman Jeff Prescott. She insists she never dated either man, however.

    Kate Gosselin does admit to having a crush on actor Patrick Dempsey, who is single these days.

    How do you suppose her eight kids would feel about having another celebrity in the house?

    It’s actually rather sad that Kate Gosselin’s kids don’t all visit their father. Do you think she plays a role in that decision? Even though Kate claims she allows the kids to visit Jon when they want, she has never had much positive to say about him ever since their split.

    Do you think as the Gosselin children grow a bit older and even more independent they will spend more time with their dad? Sometimes kids feel like they’re supposed to pacify one parent or the other when they live in a family of divorce. Hopefully Kate Gosselin isn’t making any of her children feel they shouldn’t be spending time with their father.

  • Kate Gosselin: So Who Is This Millionaire She’s Dating?

    Kate Gosselin is reportedly dating a millionaire. So who is this guy who is brave enough to date a woman (and not just any woman, either–Kate Gosselin–who is known for being very outspoken and wanting things to go her way) with eight children?

    His name is Jeff Prescott. The 51-year-old is COO and co-founder of Dreamstine, a microstock photography agency. He has three children from a previous marriage.

    “Jeff and Kate have known each other for over a year,” a source tells Us Weekly about the new romance. “They like each other.”

    “Jeff is a really, really good guy,” another source adds. “He is very respectful of Kate and her family.”

    Jeff Prescott has yet to meet Kate Gosselin’s kids–14-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and 10-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel–however he reportedly bought them Christmas gifts. Now that’s a way to endear oneself to a group of teens and pre-teens. Who doesn’t enjoy gifts from a millionaire?

    Kate Gosselin was, of course, married to Jon Gosselin for ten years. The couple–and their ample brood–starred in Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. Their split was far from amicable.

    “I don’t have a relationship with Kate. There is no relationship. Text and email. That’s it,” John told ET last fall about Kate Gosselin, when he explained why he wasn’t currently paying any child support for his eight kids. “[Kate and I] both support [the children] financially because she takes care of school and all that stuff, but I take care of the exact same things she takes care of. I buy their own groceries, they have their own groceries at my house, their own bedrooms, their own stuff, it’s doubled.”

    “He lives his own life,” Kate also told ET last September about the current status of their relationship. ” I’m my kids’ sole supporter, and I’m supporting them and concerned about their safety, and he lives his own life.”

    Clearly the way Kate Gosselin talks about her ex hasn’t scared Jeff Prescott away. It will be very interesting to see exactly where this relationship goes. Kate long implied that she didn’t have time for dating, unless the right man was to come along. Has he now arrived?

    Have you been watching Kate Gosselin on Celebrity Apprentice this season? One can only hope she puts more effort into her relationship with this millionaire than she puts into her tasks on the show.

  • Kate Gosselin: Is She Dating A Millionaire?

    Kate Gosselin: Is She Dating A Millionaire?

    Kate Gosselin is reportedly dating a new man, and it’s said that he’s even a millionaire. Might there be any truth to this rumor?

    E! News says yes, there is. They report that the former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star is dating 51-year-old businessman Jeff Prescott–and has been doing so at least as far back as October.

    Prescott is a divorced father of three, and is the CEO and co-founder of Dreamstime, an Internet-based stockpiler and supplier of digital images for media outlets and both corporate and personal clientele. Back in 2007, the Brentwood, Tennessee-based company’s value was heading upward of $15 million—and Prescott told the Nashville Business Journal that year that Dreamstime was worth $25 million to $30 million.

    Has Kate Gosselin found a sugar daddy this time? Or is it the real deal?

    Sources tell E! that Gosselin and Prescott were spotted in public–in New York City, to be exact–in October, when she was there filming Celebrity Apprentice. It seems the two have been careful not to be seen in public too much together, as both would like to evade the paparazzi as much as possible.

    Kate Gosselin has said in the past that she is very particular about what kind of man she would deem worthy of being around her eight children. It seems like Jeff Prescott’s credentials might just meet her strict criteria, however. He’s president of the Deaf Children’s Foundation, Octagon Sports Nutrition and the Nature’s Youth Fit Kids Foundation, as well as director of Nature’s Youth. It sounds like the dad of three might just be worthy of being a stepdad to eight more, should the relationship get that far.

    It was just over three years ago when Kate Gosselin told E! News that she was trying to be “a little more open-minded” when it came to allowing a new man into her life.

    “If there’s anyone out there who wants to deal with us,” she said at the time, referring to the chaos that comes with having eight kids and being a former reality star, “that would be good.”

    Might Jeff Prescott fit the bill for Kate Gosselin? Will the paparazzi soon start filming the two together because they won’t be able to stand being apart?

    How might Kate and Jon Gosselin’s kids take to a new man in Mom’s life? Will they be happy with whatever makes her happy?

    It will be interesting to learn how Jon Gosselin will react if Kate Gosselin is in fact dating this new millionaire exclusively.

    Kudos to Kate. Maybe a new man is the missing link. Perhaps she’ll finally be happy with a steady boyfriend in her life.

  • Kate Gosselin Shares Back-To-School Picture

    Kate Gosselin took to Twitter last week to share a brand new back-to-school photo of her famous brood, saying that the sickness that had infiltrated her house was finally gone.

    The reality star said the first day of school actually got delayed because Leah had to stay home sick after battling strep throat, but everyone looks like they’re feeling good in the photo Gosselin shared, including the family dog, Shoka.

    The 10-year old sextuplets and 13-year old twins will be coming back to TLC later this year with their mother for several specials; three years after their reality show was cancelled, fans are still interested to see what the family is up to. They have all seen a lot of changes in recent years, with Kate and husband Jon getting divorced and battling things out publicly through interviews and over social media.

    The Gosselins made headlines recently when it was reported that Kate is keeping the children from Jon even though he has visitation rights and pays child support.

    “[Jon] would love to take her to court and get total custody of his kids. He doesn’t want them on TV and doesn’t want Kate’s influence on them. He’ll do whatever it takes,” a source told Radar Online.

  • Kate Gosselin Is Allegedly Keeping Kids From Jon

    Jon and Kate Gosselin seemed like a happy couple when their reality show Jon And Kate Plus 8 aired on TLC. After a few episodes, it was obvious that Kate and Jon had very different parenting styles and plans for their children.

    Jon and Kate eventually divorced, and for a while things were pretty nasty between the two of them. Things finally calmed down and Kate was given custody of all of the children, while Jon was ordered to pay child support. Jon was also removed from the television show and it was renamed Kate Plus 8.

    Eventually, Kate Plus 8 was also dropped, but Kate wasn’t about to let that stop her from staying on television.

    She and her children continue to appear on daytime television shows and specials and things between Jon and Kate are once again getting ugly.

    Jon has tried to move on with his life and is allegedly working minimum wage jobs to make ends meet and pay his hefty child support payments.

    Kate has reportedly stopped letting Jon see his children, even though he has court-ordered visitation rights. In the past, Kate has been accused of making visitation almost impossible for Jon and according to past nannies and other sources, has a ridiculous amount of rules for Jon to follow when he picks up, drops off or spends time with the children.

    A source claims that Jon has been looking for a way to get custody of the children, stop them from filming television shows, and allow them to live a normal life. With Kate violating the divorce and custody arrangements, Jon could take her back to court.

    Unfortunately, according to the same source, Jon doesn’t have the money to take Kate to court, which is why she gets away with treating him so badly.

    The source told Life & Style, “[Jon] would love to take her to court and get total custody of his kids. He doesn’t want them on TV and doesn’t want Kate’s influence on them. He’ll do whatever it takes.”

    “Jon feels bad for them. It’s not a normal childhood,” the source explained, adding that, “They love spending time with Jon and wish they could see him more.”

    “Kate knows Jon doesn’t have the finances to fight it, so she just does whatever she wants,” the source added.

    Hopefully Jon and Kate can work things out and get along for the sake of their children.

  • Kate Gosselin and 8 Kids Return to TV

    Kate Gosselin and 8 Kids Return to TV

    Kate Gosselin and her 8 little (or not so little it seems) Gosselins are making their return to TV in a TLC special called Kate Plus Eight: Sextuplets Turn 10. Airing as a two-part series, the first half of the special will be shown on TLC on June 19th, with the second half featured a week later on June 26th.

    According to E!, Kate hasn’t changed a lot since she was last seen on TLC in Kate Plus Eight and previously in Jon & Kate Plus 8. The website reports “she’s still got her no-nonsense, suck-the-fun-out-of-everything, attitude along with a new hairdo.”

    That’s actually a rather pleasant description of the woman that everyone quickly loved to hate. Once she and ex-husband Jon made big bucks on their reality TV show she almost instantly turned into a royal b*tch.

    The special will feature the Gosselin sextuplets turning ten years old. The three girls and three boys were the whole reason for the Gosselin family’s reality show in the first place. When they were born, Jon and Kate Gosselin already had twin girls–Mady and Cara. The addition of six more kids became the ‘plus 8’ in both shows.

    Fans are definitely excited about Kate’s return to the small screen.

    Jon Gosselin wasn’t thrilled when he heard about the upcoming special. He hasn’t wanted his kids on TV ever since he and Kate Gosselin divorced. Some think he is looking out for his kid’s best interests while others think he doesn’t want them on TV because he is jealous of Kate Gosselin and her so-called fame.

    Will you be tuning in to see Kate Plus Eight: Sextuplets Turn 10 when it airs on TLC in June? Do you expect it will do well in the TV ratings?

  • Kate Gosselin: ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Filming Begins

    Kate Gosselin, along with Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore have begun filming segments from their upcoming appearance on Celebrity Apprentice, and in the midst of the competition it seems the two Real Housewives (Brandi is from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Kenya is one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta) aren’t getting along. Will Kate get caught up in a cat fight at some point during the show’?

    Former U.S. Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson and talk show host Leeza Gibbons reportedly round out at least part of the team that Kate Gosselin is part of when season 14 of Celebrity Apprentice airs some time this coming summer.

    The ladies were spotted filming at New York City’s Union Square just over a week ago. They took over a bakery called Pie Face for a few hours and used their business skills and no doubt their sexual prowess–along with their celebrity status–to sell as many pies as possible. Kate shared word of the event via Twitter.

    An observer told Us Magazine that Kate Gosselin and Kendra Moore “weren’t really working at all” during the challenge, and they spent more time chatting with customers, posing for photos and feigning ignorance when asked about the reason behind the event.

    “I know my kids’ names, if you ask me that,” the former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star replied to a curious customer. Her remark drew a seemingly annoyed look from Brandi.

    Do you sense that fingernails will soon emerge and the fur on some cats’ backs will rise as the competition gets underway?

    Kate Gosselin and Brandi Glanville are said to be keeping their distance from one another but that Glanville and Kendra Moore are already at odds.

    Which one of these ladies do you think will hear those infamous words from the host of Celebrity Apprentice–Donald Trump–first?

    Even though the airing of season 7 is yet a while away, hopefully more words about filming Celebrity Apprentice will emerge, so fans can keep tabs on Kate Gosselin, Brandi Glanville and the rest of their Celebrity Apprentice team.

  • Kate Gosselin and Kids Do TLC Special Sans Jon Gosselin

    Kate Gosselin and her eight kids will return to TV on TLC for a one hour special some time this coming summer. Jon Gosselin was interestingly omitted from the TLC press release and it sounds like probably from the TV show, too. After appearing on TLC as a family in Jon & Kate Plus 8, it seems Jon is now considered a has-been–even more so than his ex-wife and eight children.

    Following the cancellation of Jon & Kate Plus 8 the TLC network aired Kate’s show with the kids, called Kate Plus Eight. That show didn’t have the kind of viewership the original show had and it ultimately failed.

    Jon and Kate Gosselin are the parents of 13-year-old twins, Mady and Cara, as well as sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel, who are 9. The special will reportedly get fans “up to speed” on what has been going on with the family (exclusive of Jon it seems) since Jon & Kate Plus 8 ended. The network promises to “reveal how much the kids have grown” and to feature Kate’s “evolving life and career.” They will also take a look back at the “poignant family moments” since the shows both left the air.

    Kate Gosselin tweeted her excitement over the upcoming special.

    Are there really any things about Kate Gosselin and her children that everyone doesn’t already know? Between her incessant tweeting and her website it would seem she has shared just about everything there is to possibly share. Everyone is well aware that Kate is still seeking fame and fortune and obviously will still do so at the expense of her children.

    Jon Gosselin–who really has always been a bit of a loser even when married to Kate–has at least stepped up to the plate and said he doesn’t want his kids on reality TV any more. But you must take into consideration he never said that when he was raking in part of that reality show dough.

    Kate Gosselin will be returning to TV yet again during season 14 of Celebrity Apprentice where she will compete against contestants including Ludacris, Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore. Let’s see–she’s done Dancing With the Stars, and everyone knows how that turned out. Might she win Celebrity Apprentice or will she hear Donald Trump utter those infamous words?

    Will that be Kate’s new claim to fame or will her TLC special take care of that instead–at least for 2014?

  • Octomom Nadya Suleman Enters ‘Not Guilty’ Plea

    Octomom Nadya Suleman says she’s not guilty of the welfare fraud she’s been charged with, and she pleaded as such in a California court room on Tuesday. The mother of 14 children is charged with failing to reveal her earnings–some of which came from starring in a pornographic film during which she masturbated–while continuing to accept and cash welfare checks. Authorities say she owes the state of California around $26,000.

    Suleman agreed to waive her right to a trial. She will return to court again on April 16th for yet another hearing.

    “We’re doing discovery, we’re investigating the case and then we’ll be back to talk to the district attorney to see if this can be resolved,” Suleman’s attorney, Arthur J. LaCilento, said outside of the court room.

    Octomom is dubbed as such because she gave birth to octuplets she conceived after having fertility treatments when she already had six children at home. She was barely able to support the kids she had, but believed she’d be on cashing in once the babies were born. She expected to land a book or movie deal the way Jon and Kate Gosselin did. Their hit show Jon and Kate Plus 8 kept them in diapers and food for their eight children for several years.

    Stardom didn’t pan out for Suleman, however, so she took to making porn films and recently even danced on a stripper’s pole at a bar in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida region in order to earn some income. This is likely also part of the income she failed to tell the state of Calfornia that she earned.

    Many people have questioned of late what kind of job the Octomom is doing in raising those 14 children. It certainly doesn’t sound like she’s setting a very good example for them by working in the porn industry or defrauding state government.

    If convicted she could spend over six years in a state prison. Who will care for those 14 children if that happens?

  • Jon Gosselin Says He Made Sure There Are No More Kids Coming

    Jon Gosselin confirmed in an interview on Tuesday that he won’t be having any more children, and made sure of it with a vasectomy.

    The 36-year old former reality star and father of 8 says that he’s dating a woman with three kids of her own, and that they’ve both taken measures to ensure there are no more kids on the way.

    “We can’t have more kids,” he said. “Yeah, I’m fixed and Liz is fixed.”

    Gosselin, who had a very public divorce and bitter aftermath with ex Kate, says he’s not opposed to the idea of marrying again.

    “I like the thought of marriage,” he said. “Like I do, being committed to each other and vowing to be together and when you see cute old couples through Central Park, it’s like, ‘I want that.’”

    Gosselin hasn’t been shy about expressing his feelings about his ex-wife, saying the two of them only text regarding the kids and have no communication other than that.

    “At this point, there is no cooperation, there is nothing, There’s two different totally parenting styles, two different totally everythings. Which is a shame, because it affects me, but it really affects my children,” he said in an interview with Oprah last year.

  • Gosselin Twins Think Kate Is The Best, Most Annoying Mom

    The Gosselin family was thrust into the spotlight in 2007 when their reality show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8”, debuted on TLC. Mom Kate had recently given birth to sextuplets after having twins, and the brood became a subject of fascination for many while cameras captured their daily lives. Kate was the first to admit that the constant filming caught both the best and the worst moments in her marriage to Jon, but it wasn’t until the kids were older that the real trouble was revealed to the world, and the couple split.

    Since then, the parents have become tabloid fodder and have had some very public battles with one another, complete with Jon accusing Kate of using their children as “props” so that she can stay in the public eye. He told Oprah in an interview that there is almost no communication between the two of them other than what it takes to arrange for a visit, and said he believes his children have “developmental” problems due to their childhoods being spent almost completely on camera.

    But the couple’s twins, Mady and Cara, say they’re actually completely fine. Never better, in fact. And they owe it all to their mother.

    “Honestly? Our mom is the best,” Cara told People Magazine. “She wants us to have everything and she fights for that, and I love her for it.”

    “My mom is fantastic. She’s a better parent than anyone realizes,” Mady said.

    Pretty high praise, coming from a pair of 13-year olds. But they didn’t let her off the hook completely.

    “She is so annoying,” Mady said. Cara added, “But she’s annoying on purpose. She does it to bother us.”

  • Kate Gosselin Responds To Jon’s Oprah Interview

    Jon Gosselin gave Oprah an interview recently wherein he spoke about his eight children, his strained relationship with ex-wife Kate, and what the pressures of being on television will do to both kids and a marriage. Now, Kate has taken the opportunity to speak her mind about the whole thing on her blog and says she wants to set the record straight.

    The Gosselin family gained fame on TLC with “Jon and Kate Plus 8”, which ran from 2007-2011, and the world watched twins Cara and Maddy and sextuplets–Aaden, Joel, Collin, Alexis, Hannah, and Leah–grow up on their television screens. While the show allowed the family to move into a much bigger home and travel the world, Jon says it also had negative effects on their development.

    “It just became stressful on the kids and stressful on me,” Gosselin told Oprah. “You’re trying to keep your marriage together, and you’re trying to keep your family ties together…Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great. But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.”

    Kate says that’s just not true, however, and wrote a lengthy blog post about the interview and Jon’s comments.

    I find it very heart breaking that my children’s father chooses a public forum to discuss his current opinions of the “development” of our children. These opinions are, in reality, value judgements made about our children and they are based on his limited visits (albeit mutually agreed upon) with our children.

    Because he has spoken negatively about our children, I feel I owe it to them to respond on their behalf. Each and every one of our children has met and continues to exceed all physical, mental and emotional developmental milestones throughout their lives. Their normal development is regularly monitored by myself, their pediatrician and school staff, as is usual within any family.

    It is also very normal in a family, especially a large family, to have a full range of personalities, abilities, talents, hobbies and struggles. Ours is no different. However, anyone who has personally met our children all have the same thing to say: they are the most normal, pleasant, polite, loving and well adjusted children they have ever met. Most even go on to say that they are a “a delight” to be around.

    When our kids grow up, they may see their father’s latest interview and wonder why he made untrue and hurtful statements about them. I know that I risk stirring up an unwanted public and private “frenzy” by commenting on this, but, if our children ever stumble upon that interview, I want to be able to point them to this statement so that they know that I publicly set the record 100% straight on this one, for their sake.

    Jon, who is now a waiter at a Pennsylvania restaurant, says he and his ex-wife barely speak anymore and only communicate regarding the children.

    “At this point, there is no cooperation, there is nothing, There’s two different totally parenting styles, two different totally everythings. Which is a shame, because it affects me, but it really affects my children,” he said.

  • Jon Gosselin: Kids Have “Developmental” Problems

    Jon Gosselin rose to fame on the TLC show “Jon and Kate Plus 8”, and the world watched the 8 Gosselin children grow up on their television screens. The show allowed the family to travel the world, ensured that the kids would be able to go to college, and helped pay for a home with plenty of acreage for the kids to run around on. But ultimately, says Jon, it hurt them.

    “It just became stressful on the kids and stressful on me,” Gosselin told Oprah recently. “You’re trying to keep your marriage together, and you’re trying to keep your family ties together…Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great. But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.”

    Gosselin says that after a bitter divorce, he and Kate don’t really have any communication other than the barest essentials regarding their shared guardianship of the kids.

    “At this point, there is no cooperation, there is nothing, There’s two different totally parenting styles, two different totally everythings. Which is a shame, because it affects me, but it really affects my children,” he said.

    Gosselin, who now works as a waiter in rural Pennsylvania, says his reputation became ruined towards the end of the show’s run, when his name was dropped from the title and the tabloids were running rampant with rumors of adultery and partying.

    “The most common misperception [is] that I cheated on my wife, that I left my family, that I’m a party boy,” he told Winfrey. “But my family knows the truth.”

    Do Jon and Kate Gosselin Still Talk?

    After 10 years of marriage, eight children and a hit reality TV show, Jon and Kate Gosselin decided to end their marriage. Jon opens up about co-parenting octuplets and where his relationship stands with his ex-wife. Plus, hear about the effects of raising children in the spotlight.

    Jon Gosselin hasn’t been in the public eye much lately; the father of 8 who rose to fame on the TLC reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” ran from the spotlight following a very messy, very publicized divorce and now lives in a cabin in Pennsylvania, working as a waiter in a local restaurant.

    But Gosselin sat down with Oprah recently for an episode of “Where Are They Now” and speaks pretty candidly about his relationship with Kate now; that is to say, it’s almost non-existent.

    “At this point, there is no cooperation, there is nothing, There’s two different totally parenting styles, two different totally everythings. Which is a shame, because it affects me, but it really affects my children.”

    According to Jon, the two of them barely speak to one another these days.

    “I wish her the best in all that she does, but [we’re] just moving in totally two different directions, just totally not on the same page at all about anything,” he said.

    The Gosselins became world-famous after their story was televised on TLC; after having twin girls, the couple decided to try for another child and ended up becoming pregnant with sextuplets. They eventually landed their own reality series, which became a hit and led to a successful book career for Kate. But as the show progressed, so did the tension between the couple. While they admitted from the beginning that having eight children didn’t always “bring out the best” in the two of them, it was obvious that things were rapidly going downhill. During the last couple of seasons of the show, Jon was often not present, and when their separation and divorce became tabloid fodder, the reality series turned into a show about a celebrity mom who often had to shield her children from paparazzi.

    The new episode of “Where Are They Now” airs on Sunday night at 10 p.m. on OWN.

  • Jon Gosselin is being Sued by Ex-Wife

    Since their split in 2009, the drama has never seemed to end with these two. The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” reality television stars are at it again.

    This time, Kate is suing her ex-husband Jon Gosselin, accusing him of hacking into her personal computer and cell phone and using the information obtained to give her private secrets to an author writing a tell-all book about her life.

    The claim, filed in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania on Monday, August 26, is stating that Jon stole a hard drive from Kate that had all of her personal information and then used to it help his friend and tabloid writer, Robert Hoffman, write a book called, “Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World”, which was released in 2012.

    The suit states that after illegally obtaining her information, “Jon then gave the contents of Kate’s email account and the hard drive, all of which were acquired illegally, to his friend and business partner, tabloid reporter Robert Hoffman. Hoffman used the illegally acquired data to publish a defamatory book about Kate … which was removed from large distributors like Amazon.com because the information was obtained illegally.”

    According to Kate’s lawyer, Jordan Rushie, “The book with Robert Hoffman had certain confidential info that he shouldn’t have and she believes it came from Jon”.

    In an email to Radar Online, Hoffman threatens to release more information about Kate if he is falsely accused of anything by her or her lawyers.

    “The other 90 percent of the material that I possess will not be published, ever, but you can be sure that if I’m falsely accused of anything and drug into court, or called a liar by Kate Gosselin or her lawyers, this information will come out then, including photographs.”

    Jon and Kate showcased their lives on the TLC reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” until their divorce in 2009. The former couple has 8 children, a set of twins and sextuplets.
