Jon Gosselin with new woman: Too soon?

Jon Gosselin (of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" fame) was recently seen in Paris holding hands with a new woman - apparently the daughter of the doctor who performed a tummy tuck on Jon's wife, Kate Gosselin. Is it too soon for him to be so public about his new romance? Should he be more discreet for his family's sake? Share your thoughts here.

Yes. The ink on the divorce papers is barely dry!

Even though there have divorce papers filed, that doesn't mean that is will proceed. Both parties need to think about the kids first.

I don't care that he wants to move on but do it the right way and wait til the divorce is final. For the kids sake.

    How can he be so stupid. Take a moment and be with your children. They have to swallow this whole idea first!

      He is just a flat out loser. Kate is better off w/out him. Clearly these two were together prior to the divorce.

          She is just fame seeking, he is clearly going through a mid-life crisis. He made 8 kids, he should raise them, not a 22 year old girlfrien

              He should be ashamed. Jon is a person that does not respect his family. Jon is interested in his goals only!

                  I voted yes~ he should have been more considerate of his family.

                      yes it does take 2 to divorce, but it took 2 to create 8! He made a commitment to his wife and kids. For better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poor, till death due us apart(as I like to put it), CLEARLY NOT until YOU FEEL like hanging in there!.It is amazing to me how Divorce now days is viewed as a Normal thing. This man thinks that he is justified for leaving Kate, and it is amazing to me that there's alot of people that think that what he is doing is ok, IT'S NOT OK! JON!!!!!!! YOU PROMESSED TO BE THERE FOR KATE AND YOUR KIDS! YOU COWARD!!!!

                        His first priority should be his children. He should put his social life on hold and take care of all those kids. There are 8 small kids that need him.

                          I think Kate is so greedy that all she wants is the money and could care less about her soon-to-be exhusband and children. She is the best dressed person who has 8 children I know. She should take a page from the book of the Dugger family that has 18 children. They read the bible every day, the children all play a few different instruments, They take care of each other and the parents truly love one another. It shows in their interaction with each other and their children. I understand that the Goslin's children are young, but they should be getting the discipline and training that most families give their children instead of running here and their doing interviews, book signings. Kate is agreedy and self-centered person,

                            Mr. Dugger is not cheating on his wife and the mother of his children with 20 year old year girls! So maybe Jon should take a page from the Dugger family book and stay faithful to his wife and maybe they would not be getting divorced.

                            In our need to be hypocrites and judge these people, let's not loos site of the truth. Their not getting divorced because he cheated, their getting divorced because nether of them trusted in the vows that they made.

                              Yes she is sooo greedy for trying to provide for her 8 kids!!!!!!! Please, Kate what is wrong w/u? Kate, u pushed Jon away because he's so pasive and u were always asking him to move faster to HELP YOU W/THE KIDS! HOw dare YOU KATE! KATE IS It now up to you to take care of these KIDS on YOUR OWN, because you pushed Jon away during the times that you were overwhelmed and tired and stressed and dealing w/ all of us looking into your life! It's ok for us to judge you and side w/ JON, because he's justified and ur NOT. KATE if we see you dating now, we will all know that you were seeing someone behinds our backs and that is the reason why JON did it! (SARCASM)

                                i am sick over Jon. i can't believe he doesn't have any respect for Kate & his kids. I don't care if the divorce is being file have a little respect. I really thought he was the good guy but not anymore. He needs to grow up and behave like a gentlemen. His kids will see what he does and that will hurt them alot in life. GROW UP JON

                                  I think Jon is moving way too fast for his own good. He's in the South of France with a woman 10 years younger than him wearing all of these designer duds and hanging out on yachts. All before the divorce is final. What is it going to look like to his kids? If you ever watch the show, he says that he wasn't diciplined much as a kid and was able to travel across Europe after high school. I think Jon Gosselin is immature and needs to grow up the be able to be a dad for those 8 kids.

                                    Let's face it, neither Jon nor Kate would have what they have without those children. Not trips to Paris, not clothes, nothing. If divorce is what they have to have, then stop and think of the kids. Jon will have plenty of time to bask in his freedom and take trips. Why not take this time to lay low, take care of the kids, and ensure they know there is nothing to worry about.

                                    I think that Kate is overbearing, arrogant, and a horrible mother. More power to him. I hope the kids have a better stepmother than the Hitler they have at home right now!!

                                    you are obviously not a mother. She is an incredible mother and i think your term "overbearing" really means "In control" how on earth else is she supposed to raise 8 kids ALONE! Jon has never helped her out so she has to be the leader.

                                            Actions speak louder than words and I am not impressed with Jon. He's kidding himself. His top priority is obviously NOT his children. He's in France with a new sweetie looking for another way to promote himself by using his children and Kate is the greedy self-centered one??? He makes me sick and gets no words of support from me. Kate is admittedly a strong, organized and opinionated woman (I never thought she came across like Hitler) and Jon is a passive-aggressive adult child.

                                              And she's the typical female. Feeling the victim even though she was a suckubus! She drained that man of every ounce of his dignity and self respect. And now instead of trying figure out how to minimize the damage she's going to continue on with the show and "raise HER kids". Those kids belong to him too!

                                                Really? He''s not acting like they do or that he even cares for their emotional well-being. Divorce is hard enough on children without the addition of 'daddy' being seen out with his girlfriend. Once the divorce is final then it is okay, but to flaunt it so soon shows his true character.

                                                  Give Jon a break! I don't believe that you people have been watching the shows or you would have seen that Jon is a loving dad and Kate has been a very verbally abusive wife for many years. He has been kind to her but she would never stop demeaning him. After 10 years of that kind of constant criticism, Jon needs some kindness and support. I'm glad for him and believe the children will be better off without the unhappiness and tension that had become part of their homelife. Sometimes a person has to leave a relationship that has become so toxic in order to save their own spirit.

                                                    You are someone who watched this show and saw the same things I did between them. So many times I felt embarrassed for Jon by the way Kate treated him. You could clearly see how much he did to help take care of those kids..with Kate constantly snapping at him about it..come on Kate stop making it look as though it was all Jon when you made this choice for your family. I am no longer watching the show...but I do wish the best for all of them.

                                                      Seriously, most people with half a brain couldn't care less about Jon and Kate. Please stop making celebrities out of nobodies!! Really, ENOUGH coverage already!!! There are far more important things going on in the world!!!

                                                        I personally think someone is having a midlife crisis. He had children young and now he's trying to recapture his youth by dating someone 10 years younger and galavanting around France in "cool" clothes. He needs to remember he has eight children and what he does now will affect them in the future. Yes he may have had kids young but that was his choice too and he needs to think about them first and not himself.

                                                        I think that it's sad that the only people who haven't moved on in this are the children. Kate's bitter and has moved on buy shutting down, Jon's moved on with his younger girlfriend but the Kids lives will never be the same and neither parent seems to care. I don't know if it's too early or time enough for Jon to be dating but how about keeping it on the down low for awhile. Do your kids need to be watching the Today Show in order to find out that you've moved on from Mommy? How about Kate keeping her distain to herself and her theropist. Goodness knows that when the Kids get old enough to read and Google all of their laundry will be aired (to them because we'll have know it for years at that point and will be watching the reruns on Hulu). The thing that's most sad to me is that yet again the answer is divorce and not counseling. What has happened to the meaning of Marriage? What happend during the time when you promised before GOD and witnesses to love, honor and cherish till DEATH do us part not a controling attitued, or eight kids or an unavailable emotional atomoton? Why wasn't the Promise made to GOD the most important thing in that marriage? More important than the kids (because that's not keeping them together) or more important that the personas (because I'm more than sure that's part of the reason their getting divorced in the first place). Neither Jon or Kate put the right things first. He let her do to much and because of that she didn't respect him. Neither of them knew their places in the marriage. He's the head and he's to love her but she's his partner and she's to respect him. Didn't they even try??? Those kids will suffer needlessly because both of those people cared more about their hurts than the pains of their children. Have the though about what it's going to be like the first time they have to get the kids ready to go to Daddy's house or the introduction of Mommy's "Friend"? Have they thought about the conversation that needs to happen about what divorce is and how that's going to affect, forever, their family structrue? I pray for them and my biggest prayer is that if THEY can't come back together that at least have this national audiance, they'll change the what we all believe divorce is. I plead with you Jon and Kate, you have the perfect venue to show American and the World, what healing, and true Love looks like. Be bigger than your selves, your hurts and resentments and show us that even if you have to divorce is doesn't have to be seemly, angry or bitter.

                                                            They are living the big life because so many people watch them. If we all stopped commenting and watching, they would just go away. I feel so sorry for the kids, they have a control freak mother and a big baby for a father. I don't care how controlling Kate is, if Jon would have put his foot down over her abusive behavior they would have realized marriage is a compromise not a dictatorship and fixed this years ago. It's a trainwreck that we all are watching. Jon looks so douchey trying to be 18 again, and Kate's gonna need a lot of botox to erase the permanent frown lines on her face under her mullet. Jeez, I can't believe I'm commenting on these reality whores, I'm just feeding the frenzy.

                                                                Why do you feel like he's the one that needs to grow up and not Kate? Is it because he's moved on first? Do you think that if she'd been the one to find Love first she wouldn't be the one flaunting it? She's as much to blame for the failure of their marriage as he is!

I mean come on he's going to be designing childrens clothes and having his children model them.......sounds like he was just making up excueses to leave. I think he needs to be a father to his kids. It's not their fault he had all ot them by the time he was 28, to bad he didn't get to enjoy his youth....should have thought about that in the beginning.

He needs a the spot light to stroke his ego! He NEEDS to GROW UP for the sake of his kids! Both Jon & Kate NEED to see themselves through thier childrens eyes and remember their childrens friends are watching this mess too!
