People.com: Three years after his headline making,acrominious divorce, Jon Gosselin says he and Kate are getting along now – and he's sorry for the way he behaved post-split, he tells PEOPLE in a new interview. 

"I am sorry, because I did stuff I wouldn't want done to me," he says, referring to the steady stream of women he dated after their split. 

He also accepts his share of responsibility for the divorce. "I was passive-aggressive," he says. "Then I'd get mad, but I was the one who wasn't communicating." Now, he says, times have changed. 

"I'll call [Kate] up and say, 'Mady's sick. What do I do?' And she'll tell me," he says. "She's a great Mom. We just have different parenting styles." 

Gosselin, 35, moved back to Berks County, Pa., in 2011 after two years of bouncing around the country. He recently took a new job as director of sales and promotions for Gameface Int. and started dating single mom Liz Jannetta, 27. Time – and therapy – has given him a different perspective on things, he says. 

"I used to talk Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Michael Jackson's rabbi) a lot when I lived in New York," he says. "He said, 'There are two things you can do with your fame – sell out or take it and use it for good.' I didn't grasp that at the time." 

Now he does. Which is why he says he'd consider a return to the entertainment world, but only for the right gig. 

"I've been offered a lot of stuff," he says. "Crazy stuff. It wasn't the right fit, then or now. I don't want [my kids] thinking I take every show just to make a buck."

The "G8Kate" By Kellie at PeaPod.com

The crowd of runners in this race is huge (1,700!), and they all kind of blend together at certain points, but I was able to pick out Kate. God bless that woman for the sheer fact she has the stamina to do this race. It's on the top 10 list of hardest small town races in the country, with a killer hill at the end. She was holding her own in that race -- not just using her celebrity, she was using her muscles and sweat.

Kate waves to me & my twins-plus-one!
On her left is NYC marathon champ Rod Dixon, who invited her to the race.
Kate appeared at Dixon's KidsMarathon children's race event 
on the previous day with her brood.

We cheered her on twice, on her way by and then later on her way back as she headed toward that final evil point called Gallows Hill. She didn't just blindly wave, but totally made a point to seek out our faces when she heard our cheering, and smiled and waved both times. And here in small town Connecticut where celebrities are commonplace and this race is really about running -- not reality TV -- those sitting nearby didn't even give her a second glance. 

Big Girl was thrilled to see someone who she has watched on TV for a while, which made the adventure worth it. And I was inspired to see her run, believe it or not -- as someone who would like to get in shape, it's always good to find a little inspiration somewhere, especially from Kate, who once said that moms "get a pass" on their appearances until all their young children are in school. That one statement took a lot of my "the twins are 2 and I still have baby weight and feel unfashionable" guilt away when I read it last year. Thank you, Kate!

Gosselin Fan Site Still loyal Than Ever! Kate's San Diego Marathon, Can Kate Get A New Reality Show? Jon's Inside Edition Interview

Hello Gosselin fans! Yes Baby Mama is back on the eve of her 21st birthday. ;) I have been MIA for a bit as I enjoyed an amazing well-needed vacation. This is on the heels of a very busy 2 weeks of graduations, dance recitals, and of course work. The latter has been giving me some great opportunities but has also completely wiped me of any energy by the end of the day. But I am nothing if not loyal and dedicated, and I missed you all. I continue to love all things Kate, still support strong women, and still detest jealous haters. I'm thrilled to see as of late most of the vicious ones have faded into obscurity, and the those last few sites basically babbling about the same garbage with the same 10 people for years now. I want you know I will keep my promise to continue to be here, so come back and say hi will ya? xo BM

CELEBRITY-GOSSIP.NET: Testing her endurance all for a good cause, Kate Gosselin strapped on her running shoes in San Diego, CA on Sunday morning (June 3). The former TLC reality star was accompanied by her bodyguard Steve Neild as she embarked on the 13.1 mile the San Diego Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Dr. Andy Baldwin among the 30,000 participants, Miss Gosselin ended up completing the arduous trek with a personal best time of 1:56:40.

Tweeting her excitement over the improved mark, he mother of eight wrote, "I did it!!My official finish X was 1:56:40...A PR for me for sure!I wanted to finish the 1/2 marathon in under 2 hrs...&I blew it away! YAY!"

USMAGAZINE.COM:  Kate Gosselin: My Kids Want Another Reality Show

Kate Gosselin says her eight kids--11 year old twins Cara and Mady, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, now 8--aren't shy when it comes to sharing how much they miss the limelight. In a Today show appearance Monday morning, Gosselin, 37, opened up about what her family's been up to since TLC's Kate Plus 8 went off the air last September.

The former reality star says she's been keeping busy compiling recipes ("I have eight testers at home!" she boasted), running (she ran her first marathon in December), and blogging for money-saving site Coupon Cabin. As for the kids. "Everyone is excelling school across the board," the proud mom told anchor Ann Curry. "We've had a great school year." Still, "They really honestly miss filming," Gosselin shared. "They've been saying, 'When are we going to go here or there? We miss the crew.'" Though their TLC contract is over, "We're hoping to move forward and do more projects," Gosselin explained. "Fans are begging [to see more]. 'They've grown up, they turned eight. What are you doing [now]?'"

The family wouldn't mind more time in the spotlight, but for now, Gosselin says, they're all pretty content with life at home. Even things with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin are on the upswing, she revealed. "He's really been positive and more available," Gosselin said of her former spouse, from whom she filed for divorce in 2009. "[Jon] is working with me and the kids notice it. I've always wanted that peace for them . . .and we're finally to a point where it's happening."
