Jon Gosselin, whose full name is Jonathan Keith Gosselin, gained fame for his appearance on the American reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8.

He is now eager to return to TV without his children’s involvement. On April 25, 2024, the 47-year-old IT analyst attended the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Clinic opening in West Hollywood, California.

While there, he briefly entertained the guests through his DJing skills and then talked with People Magazine about his possible return to the TV screen soon. During his conversation with the outlet, he mentioned that he had recently met with some TV people.

He stated, “I’ve always been open to television, but I was indemnified by TLC, so I couldn’t sign a contract. But that’s all in the wayside now.” Jon also added that he wanted to make this kind of move only after his children were older.

Speaking of his kids, he said he wants his second TV run to be solo and doesn’t want to involve them again. “I’m not going to involve them and stuff like that as well, no. It’s just like, I worked really hard to get them off TV,” he stated.

However, the reality TV star added that his children have grown up, and whether they want to appear on television depends on them. His statement read, “But they’re adults now—if they want to make their own decision, they can.”

As Jon continued, he shared some brief details on his new show, revealing that the series would be about “DJing, clubbing, and all that kind of stuff.” As of now, he has been DJing for almost a decade, and so far, his children haven’t caught one of his club sets.

He said that the sextuplets are still too young for the 21-and-over venues, and he doesn’t work in New York, where his two children – Mady and Cara – currently reside. However, that’s not the only reason Jon’s children haven’t seen their dad work the DJ table live.

He told People, “I don’t think my kids will see me. They don’t want me acting a fool like, ‘Oh, that’s your dad?’ I’m like, nah. It’s so weird. This is my career.”

Jon then moved to his current personal life. He answered if he wanted to welcome children with his present girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo, as he recently revealed that he is planning to propose to her sometime within the following year.

He answered, “No, I’m 47. She’s 36. Yeah, we just want to enjoy life,” adding that Lebo’s 14-year-old daughter lives with them. “It’s really nice. I’ve never had one kid before, so I’m learning as well,” he continued.

“So it’s very different, but it’s cool to see Collin and Hannah be the big brother and big sister, because they never had that. So they’re mentoring her as well, so it’s very interesting,” he concluded his statement.

Before Jon started dating his current girlfriend, he was previously in a marital relationship with his now-former wife, Kate Gosselin (née Kreider). The formerly married duo met on October 5, 1997, during a company picnic.

They eventually began dating and got married on June 12, 1999. A little over a year later, on October 8, 2000, the now-divorced couple welcomed twin daughters: Cara Nicole Gosselin and Madelyn “Mady” Kate Gosselin.

After welcoming twins, the two were initially against having another child but ultimately decided to try again. On May 10, 2004, Jon and Kate’s family of four expanded into a much bigger one as Kate gave birth to sextuplets.

Among Jon and Kate’s sextuplets were sons Aaden Jonathan Gosselin, Collin Thomas Gosselin, Joel Kevin Gosselin, and daughters Alexis Faith Gosselin, Hannah Joy Gosselin, and Leah Hope Gosselin. The sextuplets were born ten weeks premature.

The formerly married couple’s journey was later filmed for two one-hour specials – Surviving Sextuplets and Twins and Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later – and they initially aired on the Discovery Health Channel before being moved to TLC.

After being picked up by TLC, the one-hour specials became a full-fledged TV show titled Jon & Kate Plus 8. Jon and Kate’s split was announced on the June 22, 2009, episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and the divorce proceedings were finalized on December 18, 2009.

The court granted Kate primary custody of their eight children and ownership of the family home. Furthermore, following Jon and Kate’s divorce, TLC renamed the show Kate Plus 8, focusing more on Kate as a divorced mother raising the children.

Savannah Chrisley Secretly Married Jason Galanis in the Cayman Islands Months Before Baby Reveal

The Chrisley Knows Best alum didn’t just get engaged and pregnant—she quietly tied the knot with her businessman beau at a Caribbean church over the summer.

Savannah Chrisley Secretly Married Jason Galanis in the Cayman Islands Months Before Baby Reveal

Savannah Chrisley had one more major secret up her sleeve.

Days after shocking fans by announcing she is both engaged and expecting her first child, it turns out the 29-year-old reality star is already a married woman. According to official marriage records obtained by People, Chrisley and businessman Jason Galanis quietly tied the knot on July 14 at a Baptist church in the Cayman Islands.

The private ceremony took place just months after the pair originally got engaged in the Caribbean paradise—and two days before Galanis celebrated his 56th birthday.

The revelation answers widespread speculation sparked earlier in the week. During the Tuesday episode of her podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, the host revealed she was pregnant and showed off an enormous diamond ring, confirming she had found love with Jason after about a year of dating. While she casually referred to upcoming wedding plans being shifted to May 2027 due to her surprise pregnancy, internet sleuths quickly noticed what appeared to be a diamond wedding band on her finger in newly posted professional photos from jeweler shoots.

Savannah’s father, Todd Chrisley, only added fuel to the fire during a Thursday appearance on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde Podcast. When addressed about rumors claiming his daughter was having a child out of wedlock, Todd coyly pushed back, asking, “Is she? Is she having a child out of wedlock?” While Todd admitted he wasn’t initially thrilled about the couple’s 27-year age gap when they first connected, he praised the relationship for bringing his daughter genuine happiness.

The romance between Savannah and Galanis blossomed quickly following his release from federal custody. Galanis, who previously served time for fraudulent schemes, had his sentence commuted by Donald Trump in March 2025. While serving his time, Galanis was housed at the same federal facility as Todd Chrisley before their respective releases, and he later connected with Savannah in the summer of 2025.

Since then, the newlyweds have settled into their home life in Tennessee. Galanis recently moved into Savannah’s Nashville-area residence, which she purchased earlier this year for $2.2 million.

While the couple still plans to host a larger formal celebration with extended family and friends in May 2027, the marriage records confirm what close observers already suspected: Savannah is stepping into motherhood with a husband by her side.

Porsha Williams’ Ex Simon Guobadia Indicted on Federal Tax Fraud Charges as Arrest Warrant Is Issued

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum’s former spouse is accused of hiding millions in petroleum sales from Uncle Sam—marking his latest legal battle following their turbulent divorce.

Porsha Williams' Ex Simon Guobadia Indicted on Federal Tax Fraud Charges as Arrest Warrant Is Issued

Simon Guobadia is in major hot water with the federal government.

The Nigerian businessman and former Real Housewives of Atlanta personality has been indicted in federal court in Georgia on two felony counts of assisting in the preparation and filing of false federal tax returns, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Federal prosecutors allege that Guobadia intentionally submitted deceptive financial filings to the IRS throughout 2021. In court filings, the feds claim that in March 2021, Guobadia submitted paperwork claiming $0 in taxable income, despite knowing full well that his earnings were substantially higher. Prosecutors also allege that he drastically underreported sales for his company, Simcol Petroleum Limited, which had listed over $45 million in gross sales during that time.

According to the indictment, the pattern allegedly repeated just months later in July 2021. Prosecutors say Guobadia reported a modest $58,231 in taxable personal income, even though his fuel distribution firm showed nearly $31 million in gross sales on the books. Investigators claim that Guobadia was fully aware his actual taxable income and business revenues exceeded what was disclosed on the official paperwork.

Following the indictment, court records confirm an arrest warrant was officially issued for Guobadia. However, it remains unclear whether authorities have taken him into custody. His current legal standing is further complicated by his recent residency history: Guobadia was deported from the United States in 2025 following a protracted battle with immigration authorities.

Guobadia, 62, was thrust into the national reality TV spotlight due to his whirlwind romance with Bravo veteran Porsha Williams. The pair tied the knot in an extravagant ceremony in November 2022, only for Williams to file for divorce in February 2024 after just 15 months of marriage.

The fallout from their split played out bitterly in court, concluding with Williams securing a massive legal victory. The RHOA star walked away with the couple’s multimillion-dollar Atlanta mansion alongside a seven-figure financial settlement.

While Williams has largely moved forward from the marital drama, Guobadia’s troubles with the federal government appear to just be getting started. Neither Williams nor Guobadia’s legal representation has publicly commented on the newly unsealed federal charges.

Eliza Butterworth Celebrates Daughter Lola's 2nd Birthday

Eliza Butterworth is celebrating a major milestone — her baby girl is officially two years old.

The English actress, best known for her role as Lady Aelswith in the hit medieval drama The Last Kingdom (2015–2022) and the BBC miniseries The North Water, took to Instagram on April 22 to mark her daughter Lola Marie’s second birthday with a heartfelt and exuberant tribute.

“Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, fabulous, hilarious, joyous and abundantly amazing baby girl!” Butterworth wrote. “Lola you are my everything!!! You make every single day dazzling and we are so proud of the incredible baby angel you are!”

The actress continued, “Seeing you turning 2 today is just blowing my mind and you are a dream come true!! We love you birthday princess!”

The Last Kingdom star’s post included a carousel of precious moments — from a sweet cake-cutting ceremony to candid snapshots and heartwarming videos of her daughter taken over the last few years. Fans got a glimpse of little Lola’s growing personality as she celebrated her special day.

Who Is Eliza Butterworth’s Partner?

While Butterworth, who holds dual British and American citizenship, is famously tight-lipped about her personal life, she does share glimpses of her longtime partner on social media. In May 2022, she posted a cozy photo of a man with his arms wrapped around her, captioning it: “My Man. You walked right out of my dreams”.

In other moments, she’s affectionately called him her “beautiful boo” and credited him for taking photos of her travels. The couple has also been spotted at family holidays, but the father’s name and details have remained private, as he stays largely out of the public eye.

A Star on the Rise

Before The Last Kingdom ended its five-season run in 2022, Butterworth grew up in Lincoln, England, and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Her career has since flourished with roles in the BBC Two miniseries The North Water, for which she received a National Film Award nomination, and the Sky Max series A Town Called Malice.

But if her Instagram is any indication, her proudest role is clearly “Mama” to Lola.

What’s Next for the Actress?

Though she opted not to join the Last Kingdom follow-up film Seven Kings Must Die, Butterworth has been busy in Tenerife filming A Town Called Malice, a Sky series about a family of criminals in the 1980s Costa del Sol. She’s set to play Carly Lord in the upcoming show.

For now, though, it’s all about cake, candles, and celebrating two years of “magical angel” Lola. As Butterworth put it last Mother’s Day, “Lola is my everything and my best friend”.
