Jon Gosselin is a married man! Again!
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, 48, tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Stephanie Lebo on Sunday, November 23 in a romantic ceremony at The Barn at Silverstone in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Entertainment Tonight reported.
The celebration was relatively intimate with 180 guests in attendance — including two of Jon’s sextuplets, Hannah and Collin, 21. Collin even stood beside his dad as one of the groomsmen, while Stephanie’s daughter, Juliana, was also there to support the couple.
During their vows, Jon couldn’t help but gush over his new bride. “Before I met you, I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason,” he told her, according to ET. “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.” Stephanie stunned in Eddy K’s Tasha gown, looking every bit the glowing bride.
The newly married couple are planning to keep the celebration going into next year, as they’re set to go on a Caribbean cruise honeymoon.
Jon and Stephanie’s relationship first began in August 2021 at a friend’s backyard barbecue. The pair quietly began dating after Jon’s split from ex Colleen Contrad and didn’t go public until two years later, when they shared how it all started in an interview with The U.S. Sun.
Stephanie explained that after the barbecue, she “got tagged in a post about it on Instagram and Jon wrote, ‘That was a super cool candle’ and I wrote, ‘It was super cool to meet you.’” From there, things escalated quickly. “We started DMing each other and after that we just never stopped talking,” she said.
And while Jon is officially a married man again — he was previously wed to his Jon & Kate Plus 8 costar Kate Gosselin from 1999 to 2009 — don’t expect the newlyweds to expand their family. Jon, who shares twins Mady and Cara and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel with Kate, is content with his crew. Stephanie also has a daughter of her own.
“We’re both fixed, so it’s not happening,” he told People in April 2024. “I’m not getting a reversal. It was annoying enough to get it fixed so I’m not going to go down that road.”
“I’m 47. She’s 36,” he added. “We just want to enjoy life.”
