The TLC Reality Star Who Worked At Amazon After His Stint On TV

Jon Gosselin and his then-wife Kate Gosselin became household names as the bickering parents of eight children on TLC's smash hit reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8." The Gosselins eventually divorced and went through a nasty custody battle, and getting a regular job was part of Jon’s attempt to regain custody of his children.
Jon had a career in IT before starring in "Jon & Kate Plus 8," so it was only natural that he returned to tech work, bouncing around in a variety of IT-related jobs before finally becoming an IT Support Associate at Amazon in 2020. His position at a Pennsylvania facility allowed him to stay in his hometown and remain close to his children.
Jon has also been working on a hip-hop album for the past five years, and on May 20, 2022, he dropped the single “Voicemail” with DJ Casper. The album will be a self-proclaimed musical version of a tell-all: Jon's version of the "Jon & Kate" story that was (and still is) slanted in favor of his ex-wife, who accused him of cheating on her.
