Jon Gosselin Reveals Shocking Last Time He Spoke to Kate Gosselin
Jon Gosselin is providing insight into his relationship with his ex.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum revealed the last time that he spoke to his ex-wife Kate Gosselin—who he finalized his contentious divorce from in 2009—and the date is sure to raise some eyebrows.
"We don't communicate," Jon exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker. "I think the last time I heard her voice in person was, like, 2018."
The DJ—who shares 20-year-old sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, as well as 23-year-old twins Mady and Cara, with Kate—went on to note that his last in-person conversation with the matriarch was in court, when the pair were in a custody battle over their son Collin after he accused Kate of verbally and emotionally abusing him as a child. (Jon was awarded custody in the end, though Kate has denied all of Collin's abuse allegations.)
And while the former couple doesn't keep in touch these days, Jon—who announced his engagement to Stephanie Lebo in November after three years of dating—insisted that his relationship with his former wife has been in worse shape than it is currently.
"It's been calm," Jon added, "very calm, knock on wood, for two years now."
Another part of his life that's going well? Jon's recent weight loss journey. In addition to dropping nearly 50 pounds through a holistic diet, exercise and injections of semaglutide, a generic form of the Type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic, the 47-year-old has partnered with CellSound Aesthetics to help his body bounce back from the major weight change.
In fact, his doctor at the med spa, Dr. Nicholas Nikolov, said he has already seen improvements.
“I have been doing CellSound treatments on Jon during his weight loss journey," the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon told E!. "It has helped to reduce thickness of fat and aid in repair for his skin laxity."

Explaining that CellSound uses an ultrasound device that "improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage," Nicholas added that the procedure hasn't held the reality TV star back from living life to the fullest either, adding, "Jon has had no pain during the procedure and no downtime after the procedures.”
And Jon is just as pleased with the results, saying the treatment helped him firm up his stomach region without having to work out his core.
"CellSound helped me tremendously," he shared, "because it got rid of all that visceral fat. So, like, I still had a little—I call it pudginess—but it tightened up that skin."
He added, "That's the biggest problem, the lower abdomen side. But I hate doing abs."
