Jon Gosselin Marries Stephanie in Pennsylvania Wedding

Jon Gosselin has tied the knot!

The former reality star and father of eight, 48, married girlfriend Stephanie Lebo on Sunday, Nov. 23, according to Entertainment Tonight, which shared a video on YouTube of the nuptials.

The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at The Barn at Silverstone in Lancaster, Pa., surrounded by 180 loved ones, including two of Jon’s eight children, Hannah and Collin, both 21, and Lebo’s daughter, Juliana. Collin served as one of his dad’s groomsmen.

“Before I met you, I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason,” Jon told Lebo during the ceremony, per ET. “I feel like the luckiest man in the world, because I get to grow old with my best friend and the love of my life.”

The bride wore Eddy K’s Tasha wedding gown for her walk down the aisle.

According to ET, the newlyweds are planning to take a Caribbean cruise for their honeymoon next year.

The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum first met Lebo at a mutual friend’s backyard barbecue in August 2021 shortly after he split from ex Colleen Conrad. The pair began quietly dating soon after, and went public with their relationship in August 2023, sharing the origins of their romance in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun.

After their meet-cute at the gathering, Lebo, a former beautician and research analyst, said she “got tagged in a post about it on Instagram and Jon wrote, ‘That was a super cool candle’ and I wrote, ‘It was super cool to meet you.’ ”

That was “basically” all it took for the pair to couple up, she told the outlet. “We started DMing each other and after that we just never stopped talking.”

At the time, the now-married couple also opened up about how their past experiences brought them closer. “We have so much in common because we have both been with people who are not the best for us,” Lebo told The Sun, “but we wouldn’t appreciate what we have together if it wasn’t for those experiences.”

Lebo also said she “knew about his past” but didn’t treat him any differently because of it — and Gosselin recalled the moment they talked about their children for the first time.

“She said to me, ‘I have a kid’ and I just said, ‘a kid? Who cares, I have eight!’ ” he told the outlet. “We are really happy and in love. We are very comfortable with each other, it just fits.”

“I feel it’s taken 19 years to find Steph,” he added. “All the trials and tribulations, the heartbreak, the fighting, and worrying about who is going to talk about me to the press, then finally I meet Steph.”

Gosselin proposed to Lebo in November 2024, but he began eyeing an engagement to the research analyst months earlier.

In April 2024, the former reality star revealed to PEOPLE that she was “the one,” and shared that, “without a doubt,” he would pop the question within a year.

“I’m with my girl, she really supports me,” he said, explaining how Lebo has been there for him outside of the spotlight. “She doesn’t really want to be in the public eye, so she doesn’t come to red carpet events and those kinds of things.”

And, though Gosselin tied the knot again — he was previously married to his Jon & Kate Plus 8 costar Kate Gosselin for 10 years from 1999 to 2009 — he nixed the idea of having more kids. (The former couple shares twins Mady and Cara and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, and Lebo has a daughter.)

“We’re both fixed, so it’s not happening,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “I’m not getting a reversal. It was annoying enough to get it fixed so I’m not going to go down that road.”

“I’m 47. She’s 36,” he added. “We just want to enjoy life.”
