Jon Gosselin has taken a significant step in his relationship with Stephanie Lebo, proposing to her after three years of dating. The star of Jon & Kate Plus 8, now 47, popped the question on Saturday, November 23. The proposal took place in a private dining area at Willoughby’s on Park in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where the couple enjoyed a special moment surrounded by loved ones, including Lebo’s emotional father.
According to reports, Gosselin and Lebo’s relationship became public in August 2023, when Gosselin revealed they had been dating for two years. The couple first met at a casual backyard barbecue organized by a mutual friend. Gosselin recounted the fun atmosphere, mentioning the fireworks and the carefree vibe that sparked their connection.
The engagement ring was proudly displayed in an Instagram post by Lebo, who shared her excitement with the caption, “Of course I said yes.” Gosselin’s journey to this moment comes after his previous relationship with Colleen Conrad ended in 2021, following a significant 20-year marriage to Kate Gosselin, with whom he shares eight children.
Lebo’s father expressed his joy during the proposal, stating that he had waited a long time to see his daughter reach this milestone. He emphasized the importance of love, advising the couple to prioritize their feelings for each other.
Looking ahead, Gosselin shared that they plan to keep their wedding intimate initially, with the possibility of a larger celebration later. Despite complicated relationships with some of his children, he confirmed that everyone would be invited, stating he hopes they choose to attend as adults capable of making their own decisions.
