 On Tuesday, America’s ‘favorite dad’ and reality TV star had a heavily anticipated sit-down with ABC News. During the interview, Jon Gosselin revealed a lot, including a claim that his soon to be ex-wife stole his wedding ring. He even went as far as to say he “despised” Kate. Regarding the allegedly stolen wedding ring, Jon told ABC News' Chris Cuomo on ‘Good Morning America’ that “I don't wear my ring because she took my ring. I don't have it. So I laid it down one night. It was gone. Who else would take it? I checked underneath my kids' pillows. That's where everything ends up in the house anyway. So it wasn't there.” He also argued that Kate “still wears the ring for public perception.” He also accused Kate of verbally abusing him during their marriage. When asked about his reputation as a father, Jon responded: “Tomorrow I could be maybe . . . America's favorite dad again. It could be after this interview. I don't know. Whatever they want to write, let them write it. They're going to write it anyway. I've learned that lesson.” Explaining how the estranged couple manages to film ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ despite their apparent animosity, Jon offered: “We film it separately. She has her film crew. And I have my film crew. But I can't sit on the sofa with that woman. I can't sit [with] someone right now that I despise.” Gosselin also spent a bit of time talked about his 22-year-old girlfriend, Hailey Glassman. "I didn't leave Kate for Hailey," explained Gosselin, "You can't control who you love. I strongly believe that. You cannot control that. It's two people joined together." He went as far as to say that Hailey is the “polar opposite of Kate. I feel like I love her more than I did Kate.”
