“I’m in a comfortable relationship. I love my girlfriend, Stephanie. We just eat whatever we want, do whatever,” Jon told Entertainment Tonight in February 2024, shortly before deciding to try losing weight with a semaglutide.

By April 2024, the father of eight had dropped 32 pounds and was well on his way to his goal weight of 175 pounds. In July 2024, Jon’s daughter Hannah revealed her dad had lost more than 50 pounds, while she had dropped 20 pounds herself, telling Entertainment Tonight, “I’m really happy.”

Positive Side Effects

In addition to weight loss, the semaglutide helped the former reality star stop drinking.

“It’s really nice because it helped me stop drinking, and it helped me get my appetite under control with less eating. I was able to really refocus my diet that way,” Jon told Page Six. “I just focused on consuming what I need to consume in a healthy manner.”

Feeling Healthy

Jon opened up to Page Six in April 2024, two months after starting his semaglutide journey, saying he wished he had started sooner.

“You know what’s annoying? The regret of not starting it 10 years ago,” Jon said. “I feel amazing! Like, why didn’t I do this sooner? Maybe it wasn’t the right time.”

Sharp Dressed Man

Jon’s slim down was noticeable as he wore a fitted blue jacket, white shirt and shiny aviator glasses in a July 9, 2024, mirror selfie. Stephanie gushed, “How lucky am I?”

Both Jon and daughter Hannah follow a high-protein diet that consists of protein shakes, bars, fiber, lean meats and fish. They also limited such items as pasta and soda they drink, while actively avoiding fast food.

Summertime

Less than a week later, the former reality star proudly showed off his shirtless 50-pound lighter physique while sharing a kiss with Stephanie in a swimming pool.

“I work out at the beach and sometimes I don’t wear a shirt because it’s 100 degrees outside now,” Jon told ET. “Before I would just sweat through it, now [I take it off]. I have these things called abs. They just appeared.”
