Problem is, it's costing him.
His legal battle with his ex seems to grow exponentially every day, which, of course, sends the media frenzy on Jon-dom into the stratosphere. We called Jon for a quick chat to catch up on how this is impacting his parenting and ended up talking about everything else.
ParentDish: So, what's going on?
Jon Gosselin: I'm just trying to be as cordial as possible. I messed up at the beginning and now I want to be a nice guy, make better decisions and do the right thing.
PD: Why? What did you do that you consider bad moves.
JG: Meeting Kate Major [former reporter for Star magazine] and Stephanie [Santoro], the nanny. Those were two things.
PD: What's with you and family friend Hailey Glassman?
JG: Me and Hailey are still together. It was hard for her in the beginning. We are going to stay together. She talks to people. She's so friendly. She just goes up to people and says, 'I love your shoes.'
PD: Are you two going to get married?
JG: We don't talk about getting married. She's seen how messy my divorce has been and she says it makes her not want to get married. She laughs about it. It's so different than it was with Kate. It's so comfortable with Hailey and her family. They are so nice. They gave Kate a free tummy tuck, worth $20 grand. I mean, hello? It's free surgery.
PD: How is Hailey adjusting?
JG: I apologized to Hailey that I shouldn't have been hanging out with anyone else. I love her to death and she could've walked away.

j finley said...Oh Yeah, Kate's gottum. She's got the upper hand, and I think she knows it. He's floundering, and it's very obvious from this ugly interview.

d said...Shabbat Shalom Jon,
Maybe you and your "Jewish" girlfriend should
read the Torah. Especially where it says
not to commit adultry.
Being from the tribe of Judah means
more than Challah bread and Hanakkah!
Read the Torah and obey it!

se said...I find his embracing of the Jewish religion insulting and demeaning.
Yon Kippur YOU DO NOT GO SHOPPING or comment about the lack of traffic in the street. Is NYC nothing more to you than J=wTown? You are a disgraceful excuse for a man.

Kathleen Hamilton said...Jon:
This is what you should be doing:
!. No girlfriends! Sorry, they just get in the way of thinking properly. You cannot properly heal from a bad relationship by jumping into another one. Never works, and your back down the divorce road again.
2. Marriage counseling from someone not associated with your present girlfriend. Get help for yourself, even if your WIFE does not join you.
3. Keep in mind, you promised your WIFE that you would stay with her in good times and in bad. It's your job to work things out with her. Everything.
4. Spend lots of time with your kids. All the time you would spend with another woman, dedicate it to your kids. Totally.
5. Apologize to your WIFE. I'm sorry I left and did not talk to you about our problems. I'm sorry I messed up. Love is about forgiving Love is dedicating yourself to your family. Make the time to talk to your WIFE. Stop getting mad, listen, then talk quietly.
6. Learn to love. Love takes time, even in a damaged relationship. Nothing is impossible with God. Changing your religion does nothing. It is your relationship with God that will affect your life. Now. Pray now. Open up to God.

ravenhawke4 said...When are these 2 going to grow up get jobs,Instead of acting like total Jackasses nationally with their children sitting front row center, what kinda of message is this giving them, these children must feel shame when they go to school. It is time for the Kate and Jon show to end. Start helping your kids to feel secure and loved by both parents.

sharon said...I too had the impression at first that Kate was a pain. Then, I watched the reruns again, and lo and behold I saw another picture!
I saw how Jon always seemed removed somehow from all the action, and saw how he said "I love you" to the kids...very monotone and without feeling whatsoever. I also saw how Kate was in there, trying to take care of all of them, and he was just there. Jon is thinking about doing a documentary on reality television? Well, isn't that interesting how he doesn't want Kate to do any television, but he can. Also, how he is "building websites"....haven't seen any of those, have you? I DO see Kate out there, trying to sell her books, and with her children during her free time. Hello? She has eight children to support, while Jon is out buying Christmas Stockings for Hailey and spending time with all of his Jewish friends. Very telling, that ALL of his inner circle is Jewish....how about his children? Aren't they part of his inner circle? Notice how every answer is about Hailey and their lives, and not how he will make life better for his kids?
Jon thinks Kate is in her own world? Well, maybe...but at least her world includes her children.
Jeez, you need a reality check Jon. GROW UP....act your age.

Latosha said...I think Jon was a good man to put up with Kate as long as he did. She just let the cameras just go to her head. She use to dog poor little Jon up, now it's coming back on her and she wants to cry about it to the media.

Divina said...Wake Up! Wake Up! This is so sad, Jon - a real gentleman and a real MAN would not even mention the types of relationships he's had with his ex ladies. Nor his emotional turmoils; this is done Out of R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the person that at one point and time in your life meant something - Let us not forget the most importan reason in this case "because Kate is the mother of your children." I think you are very immature specially for saying and I quote "It's so different than it was with Kate. It's so comfortable with Hailey and her family." BECAUSE at one point and time you felt the same about your other ex the one before Kate and at one point you felt it was different with Kate also. Meaning you felt COMFORTABLE. SO WHAT if you are "the most photographed person on the planet." Big Deal. You should work on making peace and not war and stop mentioning KATE so much - you are making it sound as if you are angry at her for not taking you back.

Maggie said...They once did an episode where they talked about life before the sextuplets. They both said that they videotaped what they were doing constantly and showed clips from their engagement and honeymoon. Kate's giddy, head over heels in love with Jon, and hanging on his every word. If that's what he needs to feel "comfortable", then the whole Hailey thing makes sense in a sick way. However, giddy twenty somethings almost never stay that way, especially after they have even one child much less having to deal, after 10 weeks in a hospital bed culminating with a C-section, with twin toddlers and six preemies fresh out of extended NICU stays.

cathy said...This guy is from another planet. He can only talk to Jews? He acts like it is a cult. And this wasn't even any hard-hitting interview she was pretty nice to him and he still ended up sounding like an idiot.

j finley said...He is such a follower, this is why Kate treated him like a child! Because he's so weak. Last year he was letting Kate boss him around, and now he's becoming Jewish because his new girl friend is Jewish. The next girl friend will be into politics, so then he'll start doing that, and then the next girl friend will be a scientologist, so he'll be scientologist. He has to have a woman TELL him what he should be doing, because he has no clue of who he is, and what he wants. This interview made me nauseated. He's such a pig.
