Kate Gosselin’s millionaire boyfriend, Jeff Prescott, has reportedly broken off their relationship, and is now dating a 26-year-old blonde.

The reason they split wasn’t entirely because of his new, young girlfriend, however. It was for a reason that may shock you … yet not at all:

According to ET, the pair started fighting over Labor Day weekend, and called it quits when Jeff Prescott backed out of filming Kate Plus 8.

It always comes back to Kate’s reality TV “career.”

The divorced dad of three was also reportedly MIA while traveling the world, which put a strain on their romance … and then he met someone.

Somewhere in his travels, he met his new girlfriend, a business major who is fluent in five languages and developing her own cosmetics line.

Gosselin is, understandably, “devastated,” by this.

Jon’s ex-wife had known Prescott for some time, and began dating him in January 2015 before they gradually went public as a couple.

Insiders say Prescott was “very respectful of Kate and her family,” while another source added that “Jeff [was] a really, really good guy.”

In May, the now-exes were spotted laughing and enjoying each other’s company during a dinner at an upscale eatery in Philadelphia.

Kate and Jon share twins Cara and Maddy and sextuplets Collin, Aaden, Joel, Leah, Hannah and Alexis; they couple divorced in 2009.

Their relations this year have been frosty – even more so than usual – after Kate ditched the kids for four days without leaving a number.

That led Jon, who’s reportedly in a relationship with Colleen Conrad, to seek increased custody of the kids; that legal situation is ongoing.
