Wedding photos of Jon Gosselin, 48, and his wife, Stephanie Lebo, 38, have been released.

Entertainment Tonight published photos from the wedding in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which happened a year after the couple got engaged.

The couple got married at The Barn at Silverstone on Sunday, with around 180 friends and family there to celebrate. Only their children, Hannah and Collin, were able to attend.

Collin, a groomsman in his father’s wedding, shared with Entertainment Tonight that he wished his siblings – Madelyn, Cara, Leah, Alexis, Joel, and Aaden – could have been there too.

He expressed his love for the couple and shared his regret that they couldn’t be with them at the wedding, saying, ‘We would have loved to have them here.’

‘I love them and I hope they know that we would have loved to see them here,’ he added.

Collin was thrilled for his father’s wedding, saying everything his dad had overcome made the occasion even more meaningful and showed how much he deserved this happiness.

Collin also expressed his support for Lebo, noting her genuine and unwavering love for his father, a connection he described as natural and unforced.

Lebo’s daughter, Juliana, was there too.

Jon told his wife, ‘Before I met you, I didn’t know it was possible to just look at someone and feel instantly happy.’ He continued, ‘I feel incredibly lucky to spend my life with my best friend and the person I love most.’

The bride looked beautiful in her Eddy K. Tasha wedding dress. The couple plans to celebrate their marriage with a Caribbean cruise next year.

Collin, the son of Kate and Jon, recently told Entertainment Tonight that he believes his mother is a narcissist and disapproves of her relationship with her former bodyguard, Steve Neild.

Jon and Kate Gosselin were married from 1999 to 2009 and became well-known as the stars of the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8. After their divorce, Kate continued the show under the name Kate Plus 8.

Their divorce was finalized in 2009.

Hannah and Collin both went to live with Jon in the wake of his split with Kate; .

Jon and Stephanie started dating after they met, and they publicly announced their relationship in August 2023, two years later.

Jon met Stephanie over four years ago, in August 2021, at a summer barbecue hosted by a friend they both knew. Jon had recently ended a relationship with Colleen Conrad at the time. Stephanie brings experience from both research and the beauty world to the relationship.

‘We met at a backyard barbecue at a mutual friend Dean’s house,’ Jon told The US Sun in 2023. 

We were just having some good old-fashioned fun with fireworks. It had been a few months since Colleen and I split up.

Stephanie remembered that it was a combined graduation and birthday party for a friend’s nephew. He knew it was also her birthday, so he thoughtfully got her a unique lotus candle that bloomed as it spun.

Someone tagged me in an Instagram post about it, and Jon commented, “That was a super cool candle.” I replied, “It was super cool to meet you!” We started messaging each other privately, and we’ve been talking ever since.

After Jon and Kate Gosselin divorced, the show continued as “Kate Plus 8” for six more seasons, ultimately ending in 2017.

In a 2025 interview with E News!, Jon revealed he hadn’t talked to his former wife for about seven years.

He explained that they hadn’t been speaking to each other. He believes the last time he actually heard her voice was around 2018.

In a recent TikTok post, Kate talked about her approach to parenting. She explained that she makes decisions based on how she herself would like to be treated, regardless of whether someone is a parent or not.

I refused to participate in the negativity and conflict, especially because my children were involved, and I wanted to create a calm environment for them.
