Jon Gosselin was spotted shopping in Park City, Utah, with a pretty blonde woman who resembled his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum, who was in town to DJ a yoga session during the Sundance Film Festival, was seen with his friend and employee, Adriane Schwartz, on Friday, January 24, as they browsed a bookstore and liquor store, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Jon, 47, and Adriane, listed as the media inquiries contact on Jon’s Instagram profile, were bundled up for their snowy outing. Jon sported a navy zip-up jacket paired with khaki pants, while Adriane wore her long blonde locks straight and opted for a black fur coat and leopard-print gloves.
It’s an exciting time for the TLC personality who recently proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo. Jon popped the question with an emerald cut engagement ring on November 23, 2024, following a private dinner at Willoughby’s on Park in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
Weeks after the proposal, Jon teased how Kate, 49, may react to the news of his engagement. “‘I can’t believe it,’ probably that,” Jon joked in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on December 4, 2024. “I have no idea, I haven’t talked to her since 2018 and I wasn’t thinking of her when I was proposing to Steph.”
Jon and Kate split in 2009. The pair welcomed eight children — kids Madelyn and Cara, 23, and sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, Joel and Alexis, 20 — during their 10-year marriage. In 2018, Jon gained primary custody of Collin, with Hannah choosing to live with them as well. Meanwhile, the former couple’s other children — including twins Madelyn and Cara and the other four sextuplets, Leah, Aaden, Joel, and Alexis — have lived with Kate since the split.
Stephanie marked Jon’s second public relationship following his split from Kate, meeting her at a backyard barbeque only a few months after his August 2021 split from Colleen Conrad. Jon and Stephanie began officially dating in September 2021, but they kept their romance a secret for two years.
The DJ said Stephanie has easily integrated into his life and has even met his ex and his estranged kids — Aaden, Alexis, Joel, Leah, Mady and Cara — via FaceTime.
“I know that Steph has talked to Kate, and I know that Steph has talked to my other kids. Just, like, through FaceTime and Hannah’s phone and stuff. Everything seems copacetic,” he said. “My other kids haven’t talked to me though. Maybe it’s just easier to talk with someone who is with me but not me. I feel like I’m a pretty open person since I do eight million interviews and people always ask me stuff, but I just feel that maybe under the scrutiny of everything that transpired, that it might just be easier for them to talk to a third party individual that’s totally integrated into my life.”
Jon then clarified that Stephanie and Kate had only “just said hi.”
“I think Kate sees this as a long-term relationship and, you know, a marriage,” he explained. “Maybe she just wanted to know the woman that’s influencing her children. I don’t know, maybe she’s just concerned, but it happened and transpired.”
