Jon's New Kate: “I Ended Up Falling for Him”

Star magazine reporter breaks news of her relationship with Jon Gosselin

Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin is dating another Kate.

Blonde beauty Kate Major, a Star magazine reporter, told the gossip rag that the pair are now an item -- and said she fell head over heels for the father of eight who filed for divorce from wife Kate Gosselin less than a month ago. 

"I didn't mean it to happen, it just did," the 26-year-old reporter gushed to Star magazine shortly before resigning, citing a conflict of interest over the relationship. "I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him."

Check out Star magazine's photos of the new couple gallivanting around New York after their romantic dinner at Accademia di Vino over the weekend.

The duo, first photographed together at a New York City eatery six days ago, was hobnobbing in the Hamptons last night and dined out with Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael, the mayor of Southampton and "Real Housewives" star Jill Zarin, according to Usmagazine.com.

The new romance comes less than a month after Jon, 32, was spotted in the French Riviera holding hands with 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, the daughter Kate Gosselin's tummy tuck surgeon.

They reportedly grew close when Jon stayed at her family's home following his split with his wife in late June. 

Glassman said earlier this week she never expected to be romantically involved with the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star but they worked as a couple because she "gave him options."

"I'm a huge believer in not controlling someone," Glassman told People.

That romance is now over, Star reported.

Jon, who recently moved into a swanky Manhattan bachelor pad, has drawn some criticism for dating so soon after his split from Kate Gosselin.

The pair alternate visits with their brood of eight at the family's sprawling Pennsylvania home.  

It remains to be seen how Jon's love life will affect his reality show.
