Jon Gosselin talked to In Touch magazine to set the record straight on how his marriage ended. I thought they were taking a 45-day break from talking about each other to the media? Oh, he’s such a man of his word.
I tried to parse the most important parts of the interview from this week’s edition, but it’s all truly so good. He wanted to work on his relationship with Kate (the original Kate) and she wanted no part of it. That’s when he decided to start dating multiple women. You know, I’m calling bullshit on that. All Kate does is sit in their front yard — and by the way, don’t they have a back yard? — looking sullen while he works on his suntan in St. Tropez. I’m sure the reason she decided to be done with their marriage is because she learned of his wayward dick.
But you know, it’s not his fault, guys! It’s not his fault!
Okay, here’s the interview:
What is the biggest difference in your life now, compared to a year ago?
Let’s go back to October of last year — that’s when all of this happened. Kate basically came to me out of the blue and said, “I am done. You are going to live your life, and I am going to live my life.” I was like, “What?” I didn’t really know what was going on. When she said that, I was really upset and nervous.
Why did she want to break up?
I think she initiated the split because she wanted a career. Maybe I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and she was going to move on regardless. I said, “Are you sure about this?”
Did you want to work it out?
Yes, I asked, “What do I have to do to mend the relationship? What did I do wrong?” I was beating myself up about it. So I read a lot of books about personalities, like The Five Love Languages. Throughout the marriage, I felt like my personality had changed a lot. In December, I went to therapy. I asked Kate to come, but she didn’t want to. She said, “If you have a problem, go fix it.”
When did you and Kate start living separate lives?
We went to Utah on January 1. On January 12, she flew back with security and I stayed. That’s when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free. Not too many girls, just with my guy friends. I couldn’t do that for nine years. When I came back on the 17th, Kate and I weren’t talking. So I just said, “I’m moving out of the house,” and that was it.
What was your first relationship?
Hailey — it started around May. She is the polar opposite of Kate. It’s really different. I feel good about myself and people see my good qualities. I’m not being put down. If I want to go out with my friends, Hailey says, “Oh, go out.” I’m not used to that. I was used to, “No, no, it’s your fault.” Sometimes I ask Hailey permission, like I used to do with Kate, and she says, “You don’t have to ask permission.” I was used to living like that, and now it’s like a breath of fresh air. You can have a balanced relationship but also spend time with your friends.
How did you fall in love with Hailey?
We started talking and got along well. I started getting really attracted to her, like, on the phone. She really listened to me and took in what I was saying. Then she came back to her parents’ house in May and I went up to see her. We hit it off. It was great. She is amazing.
Kate Major said she was dating you.
I felt like, “Okay, I have a cool new person in New York and we can just go out for dinner.” Then it was a conflict of interest with her work. I have always been true to Hailey.
How are the kids handling the split and all of the drama?
Even though they are young, it still hurts them. They can’t figure it out. They’re like, “Why aren’t they together? Why can’t you hug her?” The other day, Alexis said, “I want you and Mommy to be home together.” And it hurts because it’s not going to happen — and how do you explain that? I just let them know we love them no matter what. It’s hard. I feel like I failed them.
When will you introduce Hailey as your girlfriend to the kids?
I think it would have to be after the divorce is finalized. I can’t just show up with Hailey. I think we all need a little routine in our lives. Right now, it’s helter-skelter. Once there is a routine, we’ll start off slowly, like going out to dinner. We are dealing with eight different personalities, and they will each handle it in different ways. They may never be comfortable.
Don’t trust this guy. When his eyes squint, he’s lying.
On one of the last shows from jon and Kate Plus 8. I could tell that Jon soo wanted the divorce. I dont know… I think he was totally seeing Hailey while he was married. I don’t like Jon anymore, it seems he is doing so much more harm then Kate ever did.
duh, he is dating openly…and still married…
Duh, Wendie, if she sat in the backyard the paps couldn’t take her picture.
There might be some truth to his story in the beginning but we all have problems. And he is not being any more true to Hailey than he was to Kate. He just started getting mad because people kept catching him “hanging out with his friends”… If he was such a man he would have admitted he was screwing around the first time he got caught.
I think since he and Kate split, people are seeing his true nature. If he had just gotten out of a 10 year relationship, I would think he would have a rougher time getting readjusted to single life. But he didn’t waste any time!

completely agree!!!
Kate is, simply, not a very nice person. I hate, hate people that cheat, but who could live with that woman? She had less than 0 respect for Jon and made sure that millions of viewers knew it, every week.
He should not have cheated. Period.
She should have ended it a long time ago, rather than treat him like less than human. Period.
Well said!
//////////////
agreed. period.
wow who would have ever thought this guy was going through so much with that bitch i mean i was on her side for a while until i read this it’s just not fair, wow i fell sorry for those children, and it’s 8 of them ,damn
He’s so airbrushed in this he looks like a painting.
If he’s trying to look like the good guy in this, he shouldn’t be running around in St. Tropez head to toe in Ed Hardy and definitely shouldn’t be hanging with Michael Lohan.
I was just going to say something about the airbrushing too… it’s pretty hilarious that they’ll get all the sun-baked shit off his face, but they’ll leave that lovely double chin he’s got goin on.
Pssh, InTouch Magazine? How about REtouch Magazine? What the hell is with his face!?
I am so sorry you guys, I could not help myself. Haha :)
REtouch Mag ahhhhhahahahahaha that’s awesome…and SO true! It looks like a painting more than a picture!
I cannot help myself, I’m still on his side. You know what, poop on that! I’m on Aadens side. I love those little glasses.
I love the little glasses too! He’s like a pint-sized Asian Harry Potter
“That’s when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free. Not too many girls, just with my guy friends. I couldn’t do that for nine years.”
No, you couldn’t hang out with your guy friends all the time for nine years.
Because you decided to get married and have a family.
You supposedly chose to hang out with one “girl” and eight little “girls and guys”. What did you expect?
The sad part is the kids are now here and not going away just because you changed your mind.
I personally think Kate treated John like crap, but his behavior since the split has made me wonder if he didn’t deserve it even just a little.
!! Yep. How old is he??
the kids made them famous. blame the kids!
is he wearing lipgloss?
His lipgloss is poppin :) Seriously, I hate them both. Poor kids.
So he was supposed to just keep taking her shit? Please! He should have left that bitch a LONG time ago. I don’t understand why everyone is turning on him.
Yeah, that picture isn’t airbrushed or anything is it?
I don’t believe him. Just based on their mannerisms. They even explained on the show TOGETHER that Jon was the one having problems. Kate probably just got so sick of dealing with his back and forth that she was like, “It’s over.”
He was unhappy. They split. He partied it up and carried on like a newly single guy who doesn’t have 8 kids. Then he remembered that he was a “celebrity” and now he’s trying to do damage control.
She’s a cold sanctimonious bitch who is staying above the fray because that’s what cold sanctimonious bitches do. But I do believe she’s far more concerned about their children than he is.
Really their marriage should have been ideal: douche marries bitch, they cant get preggo naturally so they went artificial and had twins. Douche and bitch weren’t satisfied with 2 so they went in and had more and guess what? They ended up with 6 more. They marketed their life as a Christian reality show to pay the bills and had to do a lot of pretending to keep up the charade. Except they fell into the trap of believing they really were celebrities and on par with Hollywood actors and actress.
How old is this guy??…. and we are supposed to believe he has NOOO wrinkles/creases/age lines of any kind..pshh.
maybe this mag should get “in touch” with their audiences and realise they arent ignorant morons.
I am wondering why Shiloh is sad. Wendie, will you check into it?
I was wondering the same thing.
I’m guessing it’s because she’s three and people she doesn’t know keep yelling her name and taking her picture.
You know, I just hope he uses condoms. God knows we do not need anymore Gosselins running around. And the numerous and varied places his weiner has been lately…he definitely needs some protection.
He is absoluely repulsive.
Hahahahah weiner
Laughed out loud at your weiner usage, thats awesome
bs, Kate was cheating too. How much longer are they going to drag out this train wreck? Poor kids,. How about another book tour. Must be hard raising 8 kids. But hey just “write” a book, then leave!
Jon is such an annoying fucktard. If I had married him I probably would end up treating him like shit. I know that’s harsh but he is just soooo unmotivated. I would not have ever made the mistake of having one, two or 8 kids with him.
SAD SHILOH.
WHAT’S WRONG
LOL! Life sucks.
My kids get sick of the camera and refuse to have a photo taken at times. Shiloh is sad because every time she steps out of her house someone is taking a picture of her! :)
did anyone else notice just how much they airbrushed his hair? dude does notttt have that much hair, even after the plugs lmao
This doesnt ring true to me. If Kate is so into having a career and the show is her life, wouldnt she try to keep a facade of being happily married to further her career??? Even if it is all Kate’s fault, he could be handling the situation so much better. 1. Dont publicly date 2. Stop giving interviews where you air your dirty laundry.
What a fucking douchebag. He had to “ask permission” to go out when he was with Kate because they have !8! goddamn kids!!! I don’t know what kind of servant he wanted – thinking he should’ve expected his wife to just hold down the fort and the litter of kids while he comes and goes as he pleases. Hailey (my cat’s name, btw) is such a “breath of fresh air” *gag* because she’s a college brat who hasn’t had to carry 8 of that dickhole’s offspring. I hope this guy gets crabs so big they wave to the camera right along with him.
Love it! Ha Ha!
Who can blame the guy? His wife is a bitch! And why do we still care?
i’m kind of more interested in why shiloh is sad!!
I could hardly finish reading this guy’s crap. Oh my god–I don’t know about what her problems are but he is obviously very juvenile, insecure, and (most damaging of all) , not very smart. When I was reading, I was talking out loud “oh my god, you are such a loser!”
Talk about a guy who needs the media to give him some justification for his shallow lifestyle. What can you say about a woman and a man who don’t work?
