Memo to reality stars: fame is fleeting — witness broke JON GOSSELIN’s new roomie– his mother!
Jon, the former “Hawaiian Eye for the Ladies” and star of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” has finally hit rock bottom and was so down and out that his 65-year-old mother Pamela Castello moved halfway across the state of Pennsylvania to share a townhome with him, say sources.
Pamela pays the rent and shares her beat-up vehicle with the father of eight.
“Jon is going broke – he has no job and I think he has used and abused all the people close to him that helped him financially, like his brother Mark,” revealed an insider.
“He’d wanted his mom to move to the Reading, Pa., area for a while, and since she is almost the only person left that will still help him financially, he talked her into getting a townhouse – and she pays rent.”
Jon, 34, who shares custody of his huge brood with ex-wife Kate, previously lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Wyomissing, Pa., with his 24-year-old girlfriend Ellen Ross, but he ended up losing the pad after she broke up with him in January.
“When Jon and Ellen lived together, Ellen split the rent with Jon’s mother – it’s quite sad, actually,” said the insider.
In December, The ENQUIRER reported that times were so tough for the former IT specialist – who’s now dating single mother-of-three Elizabeth Jannetta – that his beloved BMW was repossessed, and he had to borrow his mother’s beat-up minivan.
“He has eight children to provide for and has to turn to HIS mother to help support him.”
