Hailey Glassman: I Love, Jon Gosselin!!!

Hailey Glassman is speaking out about her romantic relationship with Jon Gosselin, a 32-year-old dad of eight. Here’s what the 22-year-old daughter of Kate‘s tummy-tuck surgeon had to say:

On dating Jon: “If you had told me a few months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. [Now,] we’re always laughing and joking. We watch movies, play pool and ping pong. We laugh a lot because I beat him at everything.”

On falling in love with Jon after he split with Kate: “He was so strong. I admired him.:” (He stayed at her parents’ New York City home in May.)

On what she likes about Jon, a fellow smoker: “He’s a great cook. He cooks roasted veggies with special seasoning and sauces, and he grills pineapple with a butter concoction.”

On her parents’ approval: “They love him. They think of him as part of the family. They think things happen for a reason. The most important thing is if someone fits in with my family … This is perfect. It just fits.”

On what she thinks Jon likes about her: “I’m a huge believer in not controlling someone. I’ll give my opinion but tell him to do what he wants to do. He said, ‘I’m just not used to having an option.’ I told him life is about options.”

It’s true love!
