After giving up his reality TV life on Jon and Kate Plus 8, and the income that came with it, he’s been living a normal life in Pennsylvania as a part-time DJ and as an Amazon employee.
While working in the fulfillment center, Jon shared that he became really close with his team there but is now getting ready to change locations.
Commemorating his time with his current co-workers, the father of eight posted a photo of him and three others wearing their yellow warehouse vests and smiling for the camera.
In the caption, he wrote: “This is my work family that I’m leaving to transfer to another facility next week.
“We are the original OPSTech IT @amazon_ten1 me, Darnell, Jose & Tony.
“Gonna miss my team!!! ✌🏻guys it’s been real, I’ll Chime you when I’m at the delivery stations!!! 🤙🏼 @amazonvestlife”
Jon, who recently split from his longtime girlfriend Colleen Conrad, revealed to The Sun that he had previously considered putting in for a transfer.
In February this year, the worn-down couple decided to call it quits, and Jon made plans to move from his home in Reading, Pennsylvania to Florida for a fresh start.
“We decided to terminate our relationship, we were both ready,” he recalled.
“I made plans to ask Amazon for a transfer and I talked to the kids about moving, but in the end Hannah and Collin decided they wanted to stay in Pennsylvania for school, so ultimately we stuck around.
“Then we got to April and that’s when Colleen was diagnosed with cancer.”
During a routine mammogram doctors discovered a mass and diagnosed breast cancer.
“When she was first diagnosed, I mean, it was a huge shock,” explained Jon.
“It was heart-breaking and scary. I love Colleen so I decided to stand by her and do the best I can, I cared for her regardless of the state of our relationship.
“I wanted to see it through and support her through her treatment and work through it all.”
Jon says another deciding factor was the medical insurance he has through his IT job at Amazon.
“I have very good medical insurance, it covers the whole family, so I knew that would be the best option for her,” he said.
Last week, Colleen revealed her battle with cancer on her Instagram account, admitting she’d “been putting off” telling everyone but realized it was a good opportunity to remind her followers to get checked.
The nurse shared that she had to put off getting a mammogram for more than two years because of scheduling issues and the COVID pandemic.
When she finally was able to be seen by a doctor this past April, they found a mass in her right breast, which was later confirmed to be “stage 2, triple-negative breast cancer.”
In the post, Colleen thanked those around her who have been most supportive, but notably missed Jon from the list.
The omission sent fans into a frenzy with many speculating online that the two had broken up.
Ex TV star Jon, who was previously married to Kate Gosselin with whom he has eight children, described Colleen’s post as “different” but says he doesn’t harbor any ill-feeling for his now ex.
