Reality TV Stars Who Now Lead Boring Lives

For a number of years, Jon Gosselin and his (now ex-)wife, Kate, dominated the reality TV scene thanks to their hit show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. Kate rebounded just fine after their divorce, landing other reality shows and a spin on Dancing With the Stars, but Jon basically hit rock bottom.

In 2013, it was reported that the father of eight was waiting tables at a cafe and living in a cabin in the woods without TV or internet access in Pennsylvania. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight (via People) about his new job, Gosselin said, "At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?' But then I'm thinking, 'Well, it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me—they're like 'Are you the guy?'" The following year, RadarOnline reported that Gosselin had been fired by the restaurant for "blowing off shifts and coming in late."

In 2016, Gosselin appeared on The Steve Harvey Show, claiming he'd "lost everything" in the divorce and saying he hadn't seen all his kids together in three years. That appears to have at least somewhat changed as of August 2017, but that doesn't mean it's gotten any less messy, per reports from TMZ.
