Jon Gosselin has gotten engaged, and one of his daughters celebrated the moment.
The former “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star and father of eight proposed to his girlfriend of three years, Stephanie Lebo, who shared the news on Instagram on Nov. 29.
Lebo posted photos of the two sharing a kiss and her showing off her engagement ring with the caption, “Of course I said yes. 🤍.”
One of Jon Gosselin’s daughters, Hannah Gosselin, was among the happy commenters.
“YAYYYY!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️” she wrote.
Jon Gosselin, 47, who is now a DJ, proposed to Lebo on Nov. 23 at her favorite restaurant, Willoughby’s on Park in Wyomissing, Pa., according to an interview the couple did with Entertainment Tonight.
He got down on one knee in a private dining area with both of their parents watching and popped the question, the couple told ET.
They first met at a backyard barbecue in August 2021 but did not go public with their relationship until April 2023, according to ET. The couple marked their three-year anniversary in August 2024.
”Three years…Forever to go 🤍” Lebo wrote on Instagram.
Jon Gosselin was previously married to Kate Gosselin, with whom he shares eight children. The two divorced in 2009.
Since the end of the marriage, Jon Gosselin has been estranged from six of his children.
“The only kids I see and talk to are Hannah and Collin. So I’ve been pretty much estranged from Mady and Cara for nine years,” he told People in June 2023. “At first it was very difficult, but now it’s, you know, you hope for the best, but you don’t dwell on it.”
The former couple starred in the TLC series “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ from 2007 to 2009 about their lives as parents of eight children: twins Cara and Mady, who were born in 2000, and sextuplets Collin, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Leah and Joel, who were born in 2004.
The show continued from 2010 to 2017 as “Kate Plus 8” after they got divorced and Kate Gosselin received full custody of their children.
