Having already gone public with new girlfriend Hailey Glassman just weeks after separating from his wife, Jon Gosselin is not the most popular guy right now.
This story is not likely to help his cause.
According to Radar Online, Jon intentionally started the rumors that his now-estranged wife Kate Gosselin was having an affair with her bodyguard Steve Neild.
“Jon wanted a divorce from Kate and he also wanted to throw attention away from himself, so he spread that rumor,” a source close to the couple said.
“Jon doesn’t like Steve Neild so he didn’t care about the repercussions.”
Kate Gosselin ended being the one who filed for divorce on June 22.

“She didn’t want to. In fact, on the day the papers went in, Kate was with her attorney crying and sobbing. She was very upset,” the source added. “Kate did not want the divorce. She did it because she felt she had to protect herself.”
Steve Neild, who is married, hasn’t been seen with Kate for several weeks, although Radar reports he is still a “consultant” on the family’s security issues.
Kate Gosselin has recently been travelling with another bodyguard, including during her business trip to California last week. Speculation is rampant that Kate is now pursuing several options to further her career as a TV personality and author.
New episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 are scheduled to return August 3. Hopefully we'll see Kate and her backwards mullet in action on the dating scene.

What source? Kate? Radar Online also reported that Kate went to Jon last year and said the marriage was over and that Jon could see other people if he kept filming. Should we believe that too?

This is last week's news. BFG is right - Kate ended the marriage first. Jon mentioned to Jodi and Kevin Krieder that he thought Kate was having an affair with Steve Nield. Sorry Hollywood Gossip but you may have been the victim of Kate's PR machine. There is also a rumor that Hailey Glassman is pregnant. I wonder who started THAT rumor...It was most likely Kate's PR team.

U r both wrong. Jon is clearly the douche bag behind the whole demise of their relationship. Because Kate has clearly always been the one in control. And if he has been so turned off by her domineering attitude and personality, he had every opportunity to man up and do something about it. But he didn't, did he? He was using the worlds growing dislike of Kate to his advantage so he could not be the bad guy in appearance he actually is in real life. He's dating a 22 year old, ugly, home-wrecking biotch who is probably tired of her Daddy's allowance cap and is now after the money that Jon claimed he could do without. Here he's already taking her shopping in France, disguised as a business trip. She's after his $, and cuz she clearly is the type to put out, he's dumb enough to give her what she wants. When his kids lose all respect for him, and the $ dries up, and he's not able to get deals hocking cheap clothes, and the new girl loses interest, he will regret he wasn't man enough to keep his marriage and family together. Because although more hoe bags might fall over him, that won't last. When his hair falls all the way out and HIS beer belly continues to grow until HE looks like he's going to give birth to sextuplets, those young "ladies" will find new prey and he will be all alone with eight resentful pairs of little eyes staring at him in loathing.

3:53, totally agree with you! Kate had to be the responsible one, so she came off mean! Like giving an allowance of $5.00 for lunch a day? so, i have to take my lunch to save money - i don't have 8 children! she did talk mean to him - after a while always having the buck stop with you, you're tired, mean, grumpy and lot other stuff! He was playing every one because he has wanted out since kate gave birth to the 6 children - he told, kate he didn't find her attracted anymore! can't image how that hurt!

Jon is a complete tool and douche bag and now the fat eff thinks he's a model and clothing designer? Love the 50 Cent earrings. Let's stop blaming Kate already. What a loser.

As everyone knows,the Gosselins are making scads of money BUT
do they have to use any of this money they're making to buy
all the things they appear to have such as the John Deere tractor, the 4 wheelers, the motorcycle for Jon, the motor scooter for Kate, the playhouses, not to mention the million
dollar plus house with 23 manicured acres & horses, the Nissan sports car, etc. OR are these perks just like all the
trips?? I think its time for them to get off the Super Greed
train and get back to the real world!

I agree with the poster who says Jon's a douchebag and blames it on him. We can't know for sure, but my gut instincts tell me that Jon built up a lot of angry resentment for the way Kate controlled him and put him down; instead of stepping up like a grownup man and talking to her about it, he began acting out passive-aggressively; Kate realizes what a disaster it is for her kids if they divorce, and wanted to work things out--as she said, he wouldn't talk about anything. So, he's doing what divorced guys do, being an asshole, gallivanting around France with a younger woman (about whom I know nothing and don't want to know). It's a tragedy. Kate may have been a difficult wife, but the way things went I blame almost entirely on Jon, who is an immature jerk.

Linda, u r right. I think its been so long since any of them had to pay for anything, they will be completely shocked once the reality show is over and they freebies and bonuses stop. They will all be left confused and bitter once the cameras stop rolling for good and people stop paying attention. Kate has been smarter than Jon in that she has already diversified where her income is coming from. Now Jon is running to catch up. That's why he's agreed to be a "designer" for Ed Hardy's new douche bag children's line. What Jon has failed to realize is he probably won't have ne thing to do with the actual signing. He will just get to add his name to the line so they Might be able to sell more clothes due to the name association. Yeah, since everyone associates Jon with kids. Lots and lots of kids. But even they r trying to use him AND his children since now the kids will supposedly be used as models for the new line. So not only is Jon being used, he's allowed his kids to be too. Hopefully, Kate can put an end to that. Because we all notice how Kate would never dress her kids in those horrible clothes. Even after they sent them a truck load of freebies. Jon is the only one sporting them. I wonder if Kate had a waiting to exhale moment and burned all his good stuff, leaving him with nothing but those ugly Ed Hardy clothes. Its funny how Kate self-proclaimed earlier on that she had no fashion sense and that Jon had better style. Now it is completely reversed because Kate is looking much better (except for that funky hair style), and Jon looks like a messy tub of lard…Ne one else but me think Kate should grow her hair long and pretty again just to stick it to the fat man, I mean, Jon?

Ok - I didn't use spell check on that last post because I was too busy ranting and raving and doing it all from my cell phone. The damn thing changed a few of my words. But u all know what I mean, right? Jon is not fashion designer material. He is simply allowing him and his children to be used by the folks with the Ed Hardy clothing line. I can't believe people actually buy that crap. Maybe if they keep giving their clothes away for free, more people will start wearing them. Or the garbage man will become loaded down with that trash...

I absolutly agree that Jon is a pig. He has sat back for years and let Kate take care of everything and now he wants to be upset about it? Give me a break. This woman has eight children and a dipsh*t for a husband. She found a way to feed clothe and support these kids....oh yeah and him too... He should at least have the decency to man up and get a job and quit riding Kates coat tails. i toon in every week and its not because the incredible proformance of Jon Gosslin. I have to respect Kate even more for her cold demenor cause if it were me, he would have been knocked off his block long ago. As women we put up with a lot of crap and Im glad Kate finally got tired enough to get rid of him. And for Jon I hope you could read this...Kate is not alone because no one wants her but because she wants you. She is a beautiful talented smart woman. Her only fault is she chose you! Quit spending her money on your drunken wh*r*s!
