Jon and Kate 'Miss Each Other'; Settling Into More Normal Lives

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 22nd 2011 04:42PM

Jon Gosselin is doing everything he can to win back the love of ex-wife, Kate, including getting a real job to impress his ex.

"They both realize how much they miss each other," a friend of the couple's tells me. "Neither one of them have been really happy since their ugly split and would love to turn back time to the point where they were both in love before fame took over."

Jon recently traded his Ed Hardy shirts for a hardhat and scored a job with Green Pointe Energy, a Pennsylvania-based renewable energy company. The former reality star and computer techie spends his days installing solar panels and doing other good-for-the-planet deeds.

"Jon is in a great place," a friend of the father of eight told me last month. "He is happy and knows what a fool he made of himself after his split from Kate."

Of course the rehabilitation of Jon began last October when he publicly acknowledged his bad choices and apologized to his ex-wife and kids.

"I am acutely aware of the mistakes I made in 2009 and I am ashamed of the choices I made," Jon wrote on Twitter. "I have apologized to Kate, my family, and to my friends. Through counseling I have learned to own my actions. My goal is to move forward in a positive direction."

So after the ups and downs of 2010, the couple have found peace again, especially now that the cameras have gone away. As everything has started to return to normal so have Jon and Kate with Jon now working in green construction and Kate turning to being a full-time mom again.

"After the split the both of them were out of control. Kate thought she was going to be dating Brad Pitt, and Jon was sure he was going to be a superstar. Neither one of them found what they were looking for when they were single and have both come to the conclusion that maybe they are right for each other."

Plus, it wouldn't hurt ratings on next season's show! Just saying ...

She looks quite doable but then you think of eight screaming brats. What a turn off. She's a milf but she's not hot enough to get me to watch that low budget reality show.

Get back together, cuz no one else wants either of you, then go away forever.

By Homer

Well aren't you nice!?

Stunt time again...piggy bank needs refilled.

@ KR ~ I'm afraid you may be right. I wish the very best for those 2 if they are considering getting back together. However, I have a feeling this is also a money making decision for both of them. If those 2 got back together, they would gain a heck of a lot more respect if they turned away from the cameras and lived a more normal life. But they stand to make a lot more money if they get back together on camera. Bleh.

Sure Jon wants Kate back - she's the cash cow in the family. How long do you think he'll last installing solar panels on top of roofs? He had it good even when she was mean to him. I'd be surprised if Kate even considered taking him back. He's been with so many skanky women I bet he picked up some sort of STD!

And she didn't? LOL

By Nethie

I would just like them both to disappear and go on to lives out of the public life..that's not going to happen because they both got to enjoy the posh life, living it up, and being around celebrities. The kids HAVE suffered throughout this whole mess.

Really Belle: That the first thing you think of is a S T D . Do you fallow Jon around and know who he beds? I do not think SO. I think your.One these know all woman with a low self esteem,big as a mac truck with facile hair and never been in a real relationship beside with a bucket of ice cream or chicken.

Oh bigo - little do you know. If thinking of me as a hairy faced hag makes you feel good about defending Jon - fine. I can tell you that you are way off... way way off....LOL!

By vcrozas

The KIDS were the cash cow. Kate was and is the media monger always spewing about the paparrazzi.....geeeeeez she is a pimp for her kids.

You have GOT to be kidding! Jon would NEVER take Kate back! She has done nothing short of trying to destroy him, in turn, I hope she gets destroyed. It's what she deserves...I think TLC thinks so too. the TLC website pretends kate doesn't exist! I just hope all the filming they have done goes in the garbage, just where it belongs. Child abuser and exploiter. Can't wait till the kids are old enough to tell the judge what a sorry POS she really is!

Kate is still a C.U.N.T no matter how u slice it. He's a tool, so they're perfect for eachother.
