Jon Gosselin doesn't want to "get in trouble," so he's keeping mum on the details of his budding romance and what Kate has to say about it.
Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin broke his silence about new gal pal Hailey Glassman after returning stateside from a romantic getaway to France.
The "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star cooperated with photogs who grilled him when he landed at New York's JFK airport -- without girlfriend Glassman -- toting Gucci luggage and carrying $702 in cash, according to USMagazine.
Photogs pressed him on his girlfriend's whereabouts, the magazine reported.
"Did she ditch you in Nice?" one lensman asked.
"Probably," Jon said.
"I had to film," he said, noting that his new fling "is staying" in France.
Gosselin still has 34 episodes of his TLC reality TV show to shoot -- ample time to show the world what it's like to be a divorcing father of 8 who is splitting his time between a family and a young girlfriend.
Jon remained mum on what wife Kate thought of his girlfriend, who is the daughter of her tummy tuck surgeon, and said he's "not allowed" to discuss his new relationship.
"I guess you'd have to ask Kate," Jon said. "I don't want to get in trouble."
It was rumored he and Glassman were collaborating with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier on a project but reps for the clothier denied those claims. But Jon said he was "offered" a gig and had to "go through a lot of paper[work]," Usmagazine.com reported.
