Jon Gosselin was excited to start a new chapter in his life following the June 22 announcement that he’d separated from his wife of 10 years, Kate Gosselin. And life has changed in one major way since then: He’s become a notorious ladies’ man. In an exclusive tell-all interview, former lover, Kate Major, opened up to Life & Style about her brief affair with the father of twins and sextuplets. “He was a great kisser,” she says. “It was amazing. I said, ‘I’ve never felt like this about anybody else in my life,’ and he said, ‘Me too.’”

Sparks first flew when the reporter was sent to Wernersville, Pa., on July 17 to cover the breakdown of Jon’s marriage. That was followed by whirlwind trips to New Jersey, NYC and New York’s Hamptons that included three sexual encounters. But by July 29, playboy Jon had brought the budding relationship to a screeching halt, denied it ever happened and gone back to Hailey. Kate explains to Life & Style how Jon managed to seduce her — and why she no longer sees him as a catch. “I’m deeply upset by the turn of events,” she says. “He totally screwed me over and acted like a dirtbag.”

ON INVITING HER OVER — WHILE THE KIDS WERE ASLEEP:

“Jon said he couldn’t be seen having a girlfriend, so he told me to drive to a neighbor’s house after midnight, when the kids were asleep. He said he’d pick me up on his four-wheeler, take me to his house and drop me off again at 6 a.m. I was shocked and said, ‘No, I don’t feel right doing that. What if the kids wake up?’ He was like, ‘They’re not going to notice, they’re not going to see anything.’ He wasn’t nervous about it —I was. Looking back, it was all pretty much sexual. That’s what he had in mind.”

ON JON BREAKING UP WITH HER OVER TEXT MESSAGE:

“Jon told me he needed to go to Massachusetts to meet Hailey and break up with her. Right when he left on July 23, he shut his phone off — and also shut himself off. Once he finally called me, I didn’t know the new person. He sounded upset and said he needed to be single right now. Then he sent me a message saying, ‘Do not contact me again.’”

ON THE FIRST TIME THEY SLEPT TOGETHER:

“Jon never wanted to use his credit card — he was worried that he’d get caught or spotted. On July 20, we went to a hotel in New Jersey. I paid for the room, and he snuck up a back way. That was the first time we slept together. He said he was falling in love with me. He said, ‘I thought Hailey was perfect until I met you.’”

ON JON’S LIES:

“Looking back on it now, he was stringing me along. Even when we were in the Hamptons, we were planning to go to LA together to meet with Christian Audigier about Ed Hardy stuff. We also talked about going to Las Vegas. Now he’s taking Hailey — and that was a trip we had planned together.”
