The two fought over the kids once featured on the show Jon & Kate Plus Eight. As RadarOnline.com reported in August 2018, Jon had claimed that daughter Hannah now lives with him “permanently.”
Kate then lost custodyof son Collin to Jon, while their other six children live with her. RadarOnline.com exclusively learned that in court documents, Jon, who won temporary primary custody of Collin, 14, on December 4, 2018, had claimed Kate had not “cooperated” with the troubled boy's treatment.
In fact, Jon's legal eagles contended in Pennsylvania court papers that Kate is a "trigger for the minor child." While Kate hasn't commented on the legal battle, Jon claimed on Instagram that his ex had "zero" interest in spending time with Collin. The boy now lives with Jon and his sister Hannah in their native Pennsylvania. Jon is thoroughly enjoying working as a DJ, raising his two kids, and spending time with girlfriend Colleen.
As Jon wrote on his recent birthday, "I love Colleen and my family and all my close friends." On Wednesday, July 3, Jon posted a selfie with Colleen and captioned it, "Had a fabulous time in NYC with Colleen!!!!"
