Jon minus Kate adds an Emory grad
It is with great regret that we report an Atlanta connection to the couple famous for little more than splitting up.
Jon Gosselin, formerly one-half of the defunct TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," is dating 25-year-old Emory University grad Morgan Christie, according to People magazine.
Christie, a Connecticut native now living in California, met the 32-year-old divorcee -- and father of eight -- while skiing in Utah, the magazine reports.
"She grew up very privileged, tons of money," a source told People. Gosselin, a former IT analyst, is currently jobless. "Our life is the show and the show is our life," the Gosselins once said. The show ended last November, but their fame inexplicably lingers.
Kate Gosselin is on the cover of this week's People, presumably because of her new $5,000 hair extensions.
