Jon Jones marries in private ceremony after surviving pulmonary embolisms

Jon Jones married Stephanie Lebo on 23 November 2025, with only two of his eight children in attendance. The ceremony came weeks after he suffered two life-threatening pulmonary embolisms. His son Collin later shared mixed feelings about the absence of his siblings.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Jon Jones faced a serious health scare. He developed intense leg pain that spread to his shoulder and coughed up a blood clot. Doctors later confirmed two bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Despite the risk of collapse, he drove himself to hospital after midnight.

Jon and his ex-wife Kate Gosselin divorced in 2009 after a decade of marriage. Together, they have twins Mady and Cara, as well as sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis, Leah, Hannah, and Collin. Only Hannah, 21, and Collin, also 21, attended the wedding to Lebo.

Collin later admitted he wished his other siblings had been there. He also expressed hope they would understand the significance of marriage and his father's happiness. Jon is now on heart medication, blood pressure pills, aspirin, and Eliquis to prevent further clots.

The wedding marked a new chapter for Jon Jones, though not all his children were present. His ongoing treatment follows a near-fatal health crisis just weeks earlier. The event highlighted both personal joy and lingering family divisions.
