Who is Jon Gosselin’s girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo?
Jon Gosselin revealed in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun that he was in a relationship with Stephanie Lebo, a former beautician turned research analyst.
At this time, additional information on her personal life is unclear because she often stays out of the spotlight and off social media.
When did Jon Gosselin and Stephanie Lebo start dating?
Jon and Stephanie went public with their relationship in 2023, two years after they began dating.
During their interview with The U.S. Sun, the couple revealed that they fell head over heels in love with each other after meeting at a backyard barbecue.
“We met at a backyard barbecue at a mutual friend Dean’s house. It was a hillbilly thing we let fireworks off, it was fun,” Jon said.
Stephanie added: “It was a graduation party and birthday party for our mutual friend’s nephew’s birthday, but he knew it was my birthday too so he got me a special lotus candle so when it spun around it opened up.
“Afterwards I 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.’

Who are Jon Gosselin’s exes?

“Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate,” Kate, who shares eight kids with Jon, said during an episode of the family’s TLC series, via Us Weekly.
“I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore.”
He then went on to have relationships with Kate Major, Hailey Glassman, Liz Jannetta, and Colleen Conrad before finding Stephanie.
“I feel it’s taken 19 years to find Steph. All the trials and tribulations, the heartbreak, the fighting, and worrying about who is going to talk about me to the press, then finally I meet Steph,” Jon said.
“I never thought relationships were easy. I always thought my relationships were going to be a struggle and people would always have a chip on their shoulder where they’d say, ‘Screw you, you’re famous and I don’t have anything and I’ve had to give up this or that.’ But this time it’s not like that at all. It’s easy.”
