Jon Gosselin says marriage fell apart in 2008

Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage fell apart in October 2008, and he was living separate from Kate and the kids as early as January 2009, according to a new interview in In Touch weekly.

“Many people think that everything moved too fast, that I was out partying too quickly. But Kate gave up on the marriage last October, and the divorce will be finalized by Sept. 30,” he said during an Aug. 2 interview in New York.

The episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” that featured the Gosselins renewing their marriage vows in Hawaii aired Nov. 17, 2008; the In Touch interview doesn’t address whether TLC was aware that the Gosselin’s marriage was on the rocks and TLC didn’t comment.

Jon went on to say that he and Kate flew to Utah on Jan. 1, and on Jan. 12, Kate flew home by herself (with security) and Jon stayed behind. “That’s when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free,” he told the magazine. “Not too many girls, just with my guy friends. I couldn’t do that for nine years. When I came back on the 17th, Kate and I weren’t talking. So I just said, ‘I’m moving out of the house,’ and that was it.”

Jon, clearly, has moved on, at least romantically. Although he’s been linked with several different girls, he tells In Touch he’s in love with Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate’s tummy tuck.

“She is a really cool person. We both like snowboarding and sports. She is like the female version of me. She is so caring, kind and open. She is beautiful and glowing, and I love her to death.”
