More recently, Jon Gosselin spent some quality time in Las Vegas with companions before his upcoming wedding to his fiancee, Stephanie Lebo.

48-year-old ex-star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 was spotted without a shirt near the pool, wearing gray swim shorts, a reversed black cap, and stylish white sunglasses.

He was seen strolling around the pool area, wearing a pair of white sneakers, while carrying a black backpack-type bag over his shoulder.

The bearded father-of-eight proposed to Stephanie in late November after three years of dating.

His wife-to-be gave him a shoutout on Instagram last week as he partied with his pals.

In a post on Instagram, she expressed, “I absolutely adore you! Enjoy your trip to Las Vegas to the fullest!” while she shared images that were privately sent to her by him.

Gosselin attained notoriety alongside his former spouse, Kate Gosselin (age 50), through their reality series on TLC titled Jon & Kate Plus 8. This program documented their journey raising their eight kids: Mady and Cara (aged 24) and sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel (all aged 21).

In 2009, during the peak of their television fame from reality shows, Kate initiated a divorce proceeding, which subsequently led to a heated dispute over child custody.

In my professional perspective, I’m thrilled to share that I secured sole custody of Hannah and Collin, while my former spouse retains custody of our other children. This new arrangement allows us to navigate our lives in a way that best suits our unique family dynamics.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say, “Having recently gotten engaged, I’ve made a conscious decision to extend invitations to all my kids for the big day, even though our relationships have been challenging at times. This is a momentous occasion, and I believe it’s important to make an effort to include everyone.

‘Oh, yes, I would definitely do that,’ he answered when asked if he would extend an invitation.

He mentioned that he’d absolutely extend invitations to everyone, as he was sitting beside his soon-to-be spouse, Stephanie. “By the way,” he said, “they’re like my children.

At that point, he admitted that apart from Collin and Hannah, his fiancee hadn’t met his other children. He also mentioned it would be pleasant if she got the chance to meet them.

He expressed that he mainly assists children who have become part of the family, and should any others come to understand their situation, his home remains an inviting place for them.

Stephanie excitedly shared that “Hannah and I share mutual affection,” further mentioning that Hannah’s daughter, Jon’s child, has been eagerly awaiting the upcoming wedding for quite some time.

Regarding Collin, she mentioned that he had reached out to her the day following the proposal, and the message he conveyed was, “I am the glue.” This sentiment strongly resonated with her, indicating his sense of pride.

Stephanie’s father expressed his feelings about the engagement by saying: “I’ve longed for this day for you for such a while, and there were moments when I doubted it would ever come true for you. I’m overjoyed for you and Jon. My most heartfelt advice is to always keep the love alive. Always let love lead.

Previously, they discussed their relationship with The Sun newspaper, having first met at a get-together at a common acquaintance’s home BBQ party.

The reality star said he ‘had been single for a few months’ when he and Stephanie crossed paths.
