Gosselin 'loves girlfriend more than Kate'

Jon Gosselin has reportedly suggested that he loves his new girlfriend Hailey Glassman more than he loved his estranged wife Kate.

The TLC reality star began romancing 22-year-old Glassman, the daughter of Kate's cosmetic surgeon, following his marriage breakdown in June.

Speaking to ABC's Chris Cuomo, he said: "I didn't leave Kate for Hailey. People think I left Kate for Hailey... because of the time-frame and what they printed in the tabloids.

"You can't control who you love. I strongly believe that. You cannot control that. It's two people joined together."

The 32-year-old went on to say that Glassman is the "polar opposite" of Kate, adding: "I feel like I love her more than I did Kate. I get encouragement from her, I get respect from her. Two things that a man needs.

"This is someone, I mean, like soul mate - like people joke about that. But I'm not joking about that."

Gosselin also claimed that he is unsure whether he would be joining Michael Lohan and Kevin Federline for a proposed reality show called Divorced Dad's Club.
