Gosselin: 'Meeting Hailey changed my life'

Jon Gosselin has claimed that meeting on-off girlfriend Hailey Glassman was a "turning point" in his life.

The father-of-eight, who split from wife Kate in June, recently announced that he and Glassman were taking a break in their relationship to focus on their own lives.

Speaking to ET Online, he said: "She's been very supportive of me... She's taught me how to be honest and trustworthy. It really changed my life.

"Whether we're together or not, it doesn't matter. We're always good friends, best friends. I just talked to her a little while ago."

The 32-year-old went on to say that they both needed time to "relax and regroup" and that they would "take things day-by-day".
