Jon Gosselin has expanded his family once again, almost a year after proposing to Stephanie Lebo, 36, in an intimate ceremony on November 23rd. The 47-year-old, best known for his time on "Jon & Kate Plus 8," shared with Entertainment Tonight that on their big day, he told his now-wife, "Before I met you, I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason. I feel like the luckiest man in the world, because I get to grow old with my best friend and the love of my life."
Joined by his children, Collin and Hannah, 21—who he shares with ex-wife Kate Gosselin—Jon's family was complete on their special day. (He remains estranged from the former couple's twins, Mady and Cara, 25, as well as their sextuplets, Alexis, Leah, Aaden, and Joel, all 21.)
After 10 years of marriage and rumors of infidelity that led to a public squabble and custody battle, Jon and Kate finalized their divorce in 2009. Since then, the Gosselin patriarch publicly dated Liz Jannetta from 2012 to 2014 and nurse practitioner Colleen Conrad for seven years until August 2021. Two years after the end of that relationship, Jon debuted his relationship with Stephanie.
Earlier this year, the reality TV star joined Stephanie during her bridal shower, where she celebrated by wearing a white dress and veil and posing in Jon's arms. She captioned the Instagram post of the event, "From Miss to Mrs!" Weeks before the wedding, Stephanie enjoyed a beachside bachelorette weekend with friends in Atlantic City, N.J., reminiscing about her upcoming wedding day. "I waited many years for this love," she wrote on Instagram alongside pictures from the weekend. "And I can't wait to marry my greatest best friend, and to be Mrs. Gosselin. Coming this November."
Before their engagement in November 2024, Jon had been vocal about his intention to propose to Stephanie within a year, stating that "without a doubt" she was "the one." He told People in April 2024 that he was with "my girl," who "really supports me," while also noting her preference for privacy. "But she doesn't really want to be in the public eye so she doesn't come to red carpet events and those kinds of things."
As for having more kids together, Jon added that "We're both fixed so it's not happening." He explained that he "wasn't getting a reversal" and that "it was annoying enough to get it fixed so I'm not going down that road." He concluded, "We just want to enjoy life."
