The couple met at a blind date at a backyard barbeque and Ellen claims they are a ‘regular couple’ and ‘have a lot in common’.
Despite rumors that Jon’s new dragon tattoo was Ellen’s idea, she set the record straight saying, “Those were some words taken out of context. The tattoo artist is my friend and has done work on me. I suggested when Jon wanted to get a tattoo that he go to my friend. That’s how that came up.
“I’m completely happy with him, and I have no complaints and we always have a great time,” Ellen, 23, told Pop On The Pop of her romance with Jon. “Everyone close to me has met Jon and everyone’s supportive and totally understanding about everything.”
Shockingly, Ellen says she wasn’t a huge fan of Jon & Kate Plus 8 and rarely watched the show. “I would watch it occasionally if it was on. I wasn’t into it at the time. I was always out.”
