Jon Gosselin has filed papers to delay the divorce and issued a statement through his attorney.
“He woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and didn’t like the reflection,” Jon’s attorney, Mark Jay Heller, tells In Touch. “He realized he’d made some bad choices.” Jon and Kate were due to be officially divorced by the end of November – but now he claims he’s had a serious change of heart. “I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated [on June 22],” Jon tells In Touch exclusively. “I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon.”
I can’t help but point out that this delay was announced when Jon’s first attorney dropped him, so it seems that a new attorney would need time to get up to speed no matter what, but I hope his sentiments are still sincere. What do you think?

I can’t even believe girls talk to this guy…Is he good looking? NO!! OMG like so not good I’m guessing he flashes the $ he shouldn’t have to get girls attention. Girls beware this guy is a real big loser literlly. Blonde bimbo’s watch out he is still on the loose
Kate deserves sooo much better if you watch the show he does things with the kids that HE wants to do. Kate does things she knows the kids will want to do. He is a selfish man who really needs to check himself. His poor children. wow
DOUCHEBAG
I still think Kathy Griffin said it best: He’s a tool.
Some people get caught up in the celebrity factor. I can imagine some people thinking, “OMG! I watch your show!” or “You’re on TV! WOW!”
My guess is that he realized that nobody else is going to want to put up with his foolishness in any meaningful way and that he’s on the fast track to being alone with no one to care about him.
he ‘s a boy that got married before he could live his bachelor life (i’m guessing) so when he had the chance to “live the life ” he grab it…so he made mistakes ,everybody does, so just sign the freakin’ paper and move on with your life
He is such a piece of shit wow! Douche bag…he is really going to say he realizes now!?! IT’s all about $$. He got fired from the show and is now worried. This guy is the lowest of low. I feel sorry for his kids they are going to grow up and realize their Dad didn’t put them first and only thought with the wrong head. I feel so sorry for Kate.
I have been so sad anput this whole situation…i hope that they can work things out…kate dont let him take advantage of u and jon grow a pair…with forgiveness and time they can work thru it team kate
The attorney needs time to sort thru all the divorce stuff he just got involved in,
I hope he gets the 90 day delay and the court orders them to go to counceling/mediation so they can stop the media circus, take deep breaths and see that they have to get along to do what is best the kids.
If this entire things turns out to be a publicity stunt I wil NEVER watch the show again.
Also, if it is a real divorse and he honestly thinks he can just waltz back into his old life… HELLO!!!!
Kate better not have a change of heart!!!
HAHA!! He sees him livin’ in the fast lane days flash before his eyes!!! Kate can do better ALOT better.
I still maintain that she was controlling because the behavior we’ve seen of Jon these past few months is his standard MO: thoughtless, selfish and immature. Of course she’d have to overcompensate by being a control freak. If he didn’t like that, then he should have gotten out earlier. As for the same being said of her, there’s a chance she didn’t realize how bad it was until after the kids came along. It’s easier to overlook certain behaviors when you’re not counting on somebody to help you with something as big as parenthood.
My ex is a lot like this guy. And yeah, you tend to get all rigid and pi$$y when you have to be the one who makes all the decisions, and do all the not fun stuff with the kids.
bout time jon woke up and got rid of the trash… team kate
She was controling? Sorry but you no one can control you. You have to let it happen to you. He is lazy and wants to do bare minimum but he has 8 kids. If she didn’t step up and take charge those kids would be in serious trouble. Jon is a kid himself so she has to treat him like a kid to get him to help her or do the right thing or stop being selfish for a second. Suddenly he hates and despises her? Maybe he should examin his own actions and why she had to treat him the way she did. He chose to be controled for 10 years now he wants to whine? Then to further punctuate this mans immaturity he parades girls in front of his estranged wife and children and then publicly destroyed Kate for all the world to hear saying he loved his new girlfriend more than he ever loved Kate. Maybe the 5 year olds dont watch tv but im sure the 8 years olds did and if they saw that…. scaring jon.
Then a breath of fresh air… Kate is doing the show alone. its wonderful shes the only one who cares about what happens to those kids and that they be raised as respectful healthy and bright not selfish little snots like they would be if laid back lazy jon was parenting. kids need structure and schedule and jon doesnt seem to get that. he doesnt seem to understand hey why are you yelling at me to get off my butt and help you care for 8 screaming kids?
Suddenly hours later Jon files for a delay. He should be dropped the network realized kate handled the divorce with dignity and jon didnt. should he benefit from his bad behavior anymore? NO. Kate divorce him loose the lazy ball and chain and see how fast his new girlfriend dumps him when he isnt bringing the money in like he use to. Kate is beautiful smart in control wise woman who a good heart who loves her kids and wanted to love her husband but you cant love someone who doesnt fully love you back. its clear from how she behaved after her divorce how much this hurt her. Jon never even wanted to talk about it he just left for a tight ass, a harley and freedom. Grow up jon you have kids who will some day dispise YOU for how you acted through all this.
TEAM KATE
Who in their right mind would watch that?
I think Im sick of both of them and would not be surprised if this was a publicity stunt…from start to finish. If they get back together not only will it prove Regis right but me.
Cancel the show no matter what happens for the sake of all involved… I say this even tho I’m a watcher. Get some therapy and work on your marriage.
He didn’t say he had a change of heart about their divorce. He just said he regretted how quick he was seen in public with women after the separation.
he probably realized no media wants him without the kids and drama.
I’ll tell ya what I think…I think that as soon as the announcement came out that the show is now gonna be called, “Kate Plus 8,” Jon decided that he wanted to “reconsider” getting divorced, so that he could get back in Kate’s good graces and on the show again, and start collecting that cash! Dirt bag!
Whoa did NOT expect this! I can’t wait to see if Kate takes Jon back!!!! Maybe if they go through counseling together and seriously work on their issues. I would totally start tuning into the show again if they reconciled.
I bet he gets a new reality show with that new gf of his
I feel bad for everyone involved in this. It’s a terrible way to wake up, realising that you’ve made some fairly harsh mistakes in the public eye, realising that your worst nightmare of having your mistakes recorded forever so that your children can (and will) Google you is and will continue to haunt you. Even sadder when you’ve disparaged your soon to be ex wife on national television (when you could have not said you despised her), and you now realise oops! I just bit the hand that feeds me. I don’t think in his heart Jon is a bad person. I do feel that after 10 years of marriage to a controlling woman took it’s toll on him, and he used bad judgement in getting shot of her. I still and always will say that this would have happened anyway – he would have woken up one day and realised that Kate has no one’s interest but her own at heart and left. With all this “fame and money”, his head got twisted. He’s human, a bit slow on the up take …. I think there are far worse men out there. It’s all just so sad.
If he truly had a change of heart, he wouldn’t announce it to In Touch magazine. Douchebag.
He only “woke up” because he’s afraid of losing his income.
I ABSOLUTELY hate divorce. I was divorced when I was very young and just wanted to die! So, I think if Jon and Kate can somehow work this out, NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA OR WE THINK, they should go for it and I will be praying for them. Thes little children need a mommy and a daddy. I knowmy ex was absent from my daughter’s life and it made for a lot of bad choices in men, by her in her adult life.
Plus, I take offense to all this bad mouthing of Kate. Did you EVER try to take care of eight little children at once? I cannot EVEN imagine the stress. She probably was a little controlling. If she hadn’t been, it would have been mass chaos!
Everybody is so quick to judge these people in the spotlight but you ought to walk in their shoes before you do.
Thanks. Prisca in OH
I already stopped watching this peace o crap show. Jon is a DOUCHEBAG!!! Yup he realized he’d have to go back to a cubicle (if anyone would have him). He was a loser before the kids and a bigger loser after. Enjoy your 20k a year Jon if you can find anyone to even pay you.
I wonder what Hailey thinks of all this. This is toooo funnnnyyyy. Wow!!!!!!!! Jon is just now apologizing after realizing like all of you guys said, “He is not gonna get paid.” Hopefully Kate will not take him back like some other women who are not strong enough, and let their pathetic loser ex husbands back into their life without any thought of what they did to them. I hope she will be strong and set a good example for her daughters and show them that a man shouldnt treat them that way, and that it is not okay to take them back, if this is what Jon is hinting at!!!!
Please no more Jon and Kate.
PUBLICITY STUNT!! Their ratings are at an all-time low. This will reel viewers back in.
Too true! Too bad his statement didn’t include, “I’ve been a total douche to my wife, my children, my family and my word. I’m sorry and I’m pathetic.”
Won’t happen, but I dare to live the dream. Wonder if his change of heart was in connection to the show’s change of title! Bwahahahahaha!
You took the words right out of my mouth! Th eonly rreason he wants to delay the divorce is so he can milk some more money out the whole situation… Didnt he recently do AN INTERVIEW WHERE HE SAID he HATED her?
I think he’s had a “change of heart” because they dropped his sorry @$$ from the show!!! IDIOT. UGH.
Exactly! I think he’s trying to hitch his wagon to Kate’s gravy train again because his “lifestyle” is about to go down the toilet.
YES! If he can say that she made x amount of $ during their marrriage, he’ll get a piece. Here’s part of the interview that was left off:
It is a little late to realize how badly he screwed up. 3 months won’t change our perception of you Jon. Just end it already!
That shipped has sailed.
he did say he was having a mid life crisis. i give him alot of credit for stopping the divorce. i dont think they will ever get back togeather but hopefully now they can at least work at raising the kids togeather. as much as i love jon i think he has done some questionable things. i think jon and kate need to go somewhere quiet and talk and not let the media knwo where there are. he probely does miss his family. good luck jon. TEAM JON!!
I think he is a media-whoring d-bag
That is hysterical…and so completely expected. I think he expected to “cash in” on his fame, but since he’s been acting like a d-bag, no one wants to associate him. So, how do you keep the money coming in? Make nice with the ex-wife who you’ve bashed up one side and down the other. Go fade away somewhere, Jon. Please.
Bahahahahaha!!!! TLC announces him being dropped and this comes right after……..tooooo OBVIOUS!!!!!
I think he realizes how stupid he has been looking! Maybe he knows now, the parties, the women, the Ed Hardy clothes, allllllll that stuff that he really F’ed up! He’s probably sick of it and misses is family. Dude keep your family together, that’s COOL.
Obviously, it hit home that now he will have to get a real job and his little girlfriend will drop him shortly. Naturally, he’s had a change of heart where the divorce is concerned. I personally think Kate is better off without him.
I can’t wait to see how this develops.
Serious damage control going on here. He is delaying the divorce because he just got a new attorney, not because he wants to get back together with Kate. He’s a piece of garbage
