Jon Gosselin Has A New Girlfriend: Realitytvmagazine.com: Kate Gosselin may be too busy for love these days, but that is not the case for her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. The former star of
Jon & Kate Plus 8 has a new lady love in his life, but who is she? Read on to find out!
Since Jon and Kate Gosselin split back in 2009 after 10 years of marriage, Jon Gosselin has been romantically linked to several other gals, including Hailey Glassman, reporter Kate Major, and his most recent girlfriend, Erin Ross. Jon and Erin ended their relationship earlier this year after almost 2 years together, and apparently, Jon Gosselin has already moved on – big shocker, huh?
So, who is Jon Gosselin’s new lady love? According to
Life & Style Magazine, she is Liz Jannetta, a single mother who happens to work at the company as Jon. An insider told the gossip magazine: “She has three kids and yes, all the kids have met Jon’s kids. He’s taking things very slow with her, but she’s closer to his age than his previous girlfriends.” All of Jon’s previous girlfriends were in their 20′s, so this is a change for him.
And Liz Jannetta is not holding back about her new relationship, as the friend also revealed that she has been taking to social media to post pictures of the couples, including a kiss – on the cheek! Can’t say that I am the least bit surprised that Jon has a new gal pal – are you?What do you think about Jon Gosselin dating again? Could this new gal be “the one” for him? Comment and share your thoughts with us!

LearnVest sat down with the reality mom to get her take on allowances,
budgets and how she affords groceries for herself and eight mouths (plus a dog!). Not to mention the three questions she always asks before making any purchase.
What would you say are the most financially challenging aspects of parenthood?
With eight kids, I can’t think of any aspects that aren’t challenging! It’s very unnerving to know that I am the major breadwinner for a family of nine and one dog. If I had to list some of the
most challenging aspects, it would be saving for college, which is still a few years away. But it’s tough that even clothing, shoes, food, shelter and recreation are always multiplied by eight. For example, a few weeks ago I had to buy clown wigs for each of my 7-year-olds
for a school program, and it cost me $65. Nothing is a small purchase in our home.
What are some ways you stick to your grocery budget, especially when you’re tempted by impulse purchases?
An impulse purchase is okay once in a while for everyone. I just ask myself three questions. First, is this a good buy? Second, if I leave the store without this purchase, will I be sorry? Third, is this a need or a want? It should be a “need.” If I pass the test on all three, chances are, it fits my budget and I’ll buy it.
As a mom, you probably understand that it can be tough to make ends meet. What are some strategies you rely on to make shopping and financial decisions?
I try to buy for the long run. In other words, I can buy cheap backpacks and lunch boxes for school each year, or I can buy a better brand for $10 more each and use them for two consecutive school years. In the end, if I do that I’ve saved. I use that strategy with winter coats and boots, too. I buy a bigger size and use them for two years each. I also have coats and snow boot purchases scheduled on alternating years so that I don’t go into debt when winter comes.
