“Jon Gosselin recently enjoyed time in Las Vegas with friends ahead of his wedding to fiancée Stephanie Lebo.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The 48-year-old former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star went shirtless at a pool, adding gray swim trunks, a backwards black hat, and sporty white sunglasses.
He was spotted walking poolside in a pair of white sneakers as he carried a black back crossbody-style.
The bearded father-of-eight proposed to Stephanie in late November after three years of dating.
His wife-to-be gave him a shoutout on Instagram last week as he partied with his pals.
She wrote on Instagram, ‘I just love, LOVE YOU. Have the best time in Vegas!’ as she shared photos he personally sent to her.
Gosselin found fame with his ex-wife Kate Gosselin, 50, on the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8, which followed their life raising their eight children: Mady and Cara, 24, and sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, 21.
Kate filed for divorce in 2009 at the height of their reality TV fame, triggering a contentious custody battle.
Ultimately, Jon obtained full custody of Hannah and Collin, while his ex-wife was granted custody the rest of the children.
Following his engagement, he shared that he will invite all of his children to the wedding, despite having a strained relationship with them, according to Entertainment Tonight.
‘Oh, yes, I would definitely do that,’ he answered when asked if he would extend an invitation.
‘I would definitely send an invite to all of them,’ he added, while seated next to future wife Stephanie. ‘You know, they are my kids.’
At the time, he confessed his fiancée had yet to meet his children besides Collin and Hannah, while adding that ‘it would be nice for her’ to be introduced to them.
‘I just kind of support the kids that are integrated into the family, and if other ones wake up and realize what’s going on, the door is always open here,’ he said.
Stephanie gushed that ‘Hannah loves me and I love her,’ adding that Jon’s daughter has ‘waited so long’ for the wedding.
As for Collin, she said he ‘sent me a message’ the day after the proposal. ‘The sentence was that I am the glue. That resonated very well with me, so he’s very proud.’
Stephanie’s dad reacted to news of the engagement by telling her: ‘You don’t know how long I waited for this day for you, and there was a time where I thought it was never going to happen for you. I’m so very happy for you and Jon. My best advice is never stop being in love. Love comes first.’
Last year the pair spoke to The Sun about their romance after meeting at a mutual friend’s backyard barbecue.
The reality star said he ‘had been single for a few months’ when he and Stephanie crossed paths.
