Jon Gosselin: 'Girlfriend likes kids'

Jon Gosselin has said that his new girlfriend Ellen Ross gets along well with his eight children.

The 33-year-old told US Weekly that Ross is good at coming up with ideas to entertain the kids and keep them from becoming bored.

"You have to find ways to occupy the time, especially when it rains!" he said.

"One day I was like, 'Oh my goodness, what are we going to do?' So she got Monopoly, board games."

Gosselin described the relationship as "really different" and "like a comfort zone" but said that he was hesitant to discuss details with the press.

"I have a hard time talking about my personal life because of everything that happened last year. I just stray away from it. We just want to be left alone."

He added that he would love to make a return to TV in the future.

"It would be nice to have a job on television again," he admitted.

"I'm not so sure about reality. I'm just exploring my options right now, meeting with certain people about different ideas. I can’t talk about it; you have to stay tuned."

It was recently reported that TLC pays his children and ex Kate Gosselin ten times more than him.
