How Did Jon Gosselin and Stephanie Lebo Meet?
Gosselin and Lebo met at a backyard barbecue in August 2021. However, they kept their relationship under wraps for two years before finally going public in an interview with The Sun in August 2023.
We met at a backyard barbecue at a mutual friend Dean’s house,” Gosselin explained at the time. “It was a hillbilly thing we let fireworks off, it was fun. I had been single for a few months after Colleen [Conrad] and I broke up.”
The couple started messaging each other after the party and “never stopped talking.” After their first date, Gosselin asked his friend if it would be OK for him and Lebo to make their relationship official.
“I called Dean because he is like Steph’s brother and I said, ‘Did you ever hook up with Stephanie?’ and he said, ‘No, man, she’s like my sister,’ and then I called Stephanie and asked her the same she said, ‘No way, he’s like my brother,’” Gosselin continued. “So I called Dean back and said, ‘Do you mind if I ask Steph out?’ And he said, ‘No, I don’t mind, but if you hurt her, I’ll kill you, I’ll snap you in half.’ And he’s a big guy!”
Gosselin and Lebo dated for three years before getting engaged at Willoughby’s on Park in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, in November 2024.
Jon Gosselin Says Ex-Wife Kate and Estranged Kids Speak to His Girlfriend
Has Stephanie Lebo Met Jon Gosselin’s Estranged Kids?
In addition to Hannah and Collin, Jon shares kids Aaden, Joel, Leah, Alexis, Mady and Cara with ex-wife Kate Gosselin. However, Jon became estranged from many of his children following his and Kate’s messy divorce in 2009. Despite the estrangement, Jon revealed on The Domenick Nati Show in July 2024 that Lebo has met all of his children and even Kate.
“I know that Steph has talked to Kate, and I know that Steph has talked to my other kids. Just, like, through FaceTime and Hannah’s phone and stuff. Everything seems copacetic,” he explained. “My other kids haven’t talked to me though. Maybe it’s just easier to talk with someone who is with me but not me. I feel like I’m a pretty open person since I do eight million interviews and people always ask me stuff, but I just feel that maybe under the scrutiny of everything that transpired, that it might just be easier for them to talk to a third party individual that’s totally integrated into my life.”
Jon then clarified that Lebo and Kate only said “hi.”
“I think Kate sees this as a long-term relationship and, you know, a marriage,” he explained. “Maybe she just wanted to know the woman that’s influencing her children. I don’t know, maybe she’s just concerned, but it happened and transpired.”
