After Gosselin popped the question, Lebo’s father shared an emotional sentiment with his daughter, “You don’t know how long I waited for this day for you, and there was a time where I thought it was never going to happen. I’m so very happy for you and Jon. My best advice is never stop being in love. Love comes first.”
Gosselin and Lebo first crossed paths at a backyard barbecue hosted by a mutual friend in August 2021. At the time, Gosselin had just ended his relationship with Colleen Conrad. Sparks flew between the two and they began dating soon after.
For nearly two years, the couple kept their relationship private, opting to step out publicly only in their local Pennsylvania town. However, as Gosselin’s DJ career took him to major cities like Los Angeles and New York, the pair decided to go public in August 2023.
In an exclusive interview, Gosselin shared the decision to reveal their romance, “Instead of jumping the shark, we pretty much said, ‘You know what, let’s just organize something and come out publicly.’”

"I'm with my girl, and she really supports me," he shared, highlighting how Lebo has stood by him during his recent career achievements though she prefers to stay out of the spotlight
"She doesn't really want to be in the public eye, so she doesn't come to red carpet events and those kinds of things," he added.
By April 2024, Gosselin revealed he was already planning to propose. Calling Lebo “the one,” he told People he was determined to pop the question within the year.
