Jon Gosselin celebrates holiday with daughter Hannah, 16, and girlfriend Colleen as teen remains estranged from mom Kate
JON Gosselin celebrates the Fourth of July with his 16-year-old daughter Hannah and his girlfriend Colleen.
The teen has been living with her and has remained estranged from her mom Kate after Jon claimed she mentally abused their eight children.
Jon, 43, took to Instagram to wish his fans a happy Fourth of July while giving them a glimpse into his day with his girlfriend and daughter Hannah at the Back Bay Ale House in New Jersey.
Along with a selfie of the three, the father of eight wrote while shading those who start rumors about the family: “Happy Fourth of July to everyone!!!
“Sorry for the late post!!! Collin had other plans with his friends this weekend, that’s why he is not in the picture (shame I have to explain all that, but I just did)!!!!”
Colleen, his girlfriend, also shared another sweet snap of the trio posing in front of a stunning ocean view.
Along with two other photos of Hannah posing with each of them separately, she wrote: “Happy 4th of July!!
“Missing Collin who dissed us for his friends.”
Jon and his ex-wife Kate have been embroiled in a vicious court battle for custody since their 2009 divorce but now their sextuplets, who all starred in TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus Eight, are allowed to decide which parent they wish to live with.
Jon, who has previously claimed Kate “mentally tortured” their sextuplets and secretly had son Collin admitted to an institution – claims she has denied – previously said he’s finally at peace with the situation and will support his children no matter what they decide.
“Leah, Aaden, Joel and Alexis, I love you. You’re welcome to come over, call Hannah, Collin,” he concluded.
What happened to Jon and Kate Gosselin?
Jon and Kate Gosselin were together for nearly a decade before they divorced 11 years ago.
The pair split in December of 2009 after ten years of marriage.
The couple both claimed that the other had been unfaithful during their marriage.
They also claimed that Kate didn’t want to be married anymore because Jon didn’t want to do the show anymore.

Over the last few years, the former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star won custody of Hannah and Collin, after Kate had sent the latter of whom to an inpatient facility and Jon had gotten him out of there.
Kate, who was allegedly fired from TLC last year, has legal guardianship of their other four underage kids – Aaden, Joel, Alexis and Leah.
Mady and her twin Cara are legal adults and choose to stay with Kate when they’re home from college.
