Former TV personality Jon Gosselin, known for the 2007 reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, has married cosmetologist and chemist Stephanie Lebo. The marriage ceremony took place on November 23. According to Page Six, out of Jon’s eight children, only two were present at their father’s wedding. Besides his daughter Hannah and son Collin, Stephanie’s daughter Juliana was also present.

The couple exchanged the customary vows during their wedding. As seen in a video from the ceremony posted by Entertainment Tonight, Jon Gosselin said:

“From the moment I saw you at that barbecue, my life changed for the better. Today, I'm definitely marrying my best friend in life. If you would have told me four years ago, before I met you that I would be here today, I would have never remotely believed you, but here we are. And I don't want to be anywhere than where I am right now.”

Jon Gosselin was previously married to Kate Gosselin. They tied the knot in 1997 and three years later, the pair became parents to twins Cara and Mady. In 2004, she welcomed her sextuplets; daughters Leah, Hannah and Alexis; and sons Joel, Collin and Aaden. Their show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, ran for almost 10 years.

In 2009, the couple decided to part ways. According to People Magazine, at the time, Kate talked about the separation saying:

“My dream and my hope is that we can share holidays and birthdays and, for the kids, have it be peaceful. All of those times that we can pull together and drop our issues at the door, it just benefits our kids.”

Mady and Cara did not share a close bond with Jon Gosselin. Mady graduated from school in 2019 and then attended Syracuse University. She had previously told People Magazine that she had plans to act and perform.

Cara, on the other hand aspired to become a doctor. She attended Fordham University in New York. Speaking of her parents’ divorce, she told the outlet:

“I feel like it made us more normal in some ways. We realized just because there are more of us doesn't mean that we don't have the same feelings that everyone has. We're not that different than anyone else.”

Alexis is the oldest of the sextuplets. She loves being around animals and once even said that she would like to work with animals. Meanwhile, Hannah lived with Jon Gosselin but despite the arrangement, she once said that she was close to both her parents. She reportedly has her own beauty brand Gosselin Girl Beauty.

Aaden is also an animal lover and has a good bond with the family’s German Shepherd Mak. Collin is a child with special needs. He was sent to a special program where he could develop his learning skills. Kate once said:

“Collin has special needs. There's a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things.”

Leah loves cooking. Being the smallest member in the family in terms of stature, she said it wasn’t always fun because she couldn’t try on her sisters’ shoes. Not much is known about Kate and Jon Gosselin’s son Joel but he is quite reputed for his pranks.
