Jon Gosselin, former reality star of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” is embracing life after stardom, and now, has a new gig: stripping. According to Entertainment Tonight, the 39-year-old will make his debut as a male stripper at the club Dusk in Caesars Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

After leaving the TV series, which centered around his life with ex-wife Kate Gosselin and their eight children, Jon pursued a career as a DJ before deciding to give stripping a try. He’ll be joining the club’s “Untamed” Male Revue show next weekend, and it will not involve his being fully nude as the dancers will only strip down to their underwear.
“I’m an integral part of the show,” he said. “Being part of something is a blessing. Since I joined Senate DJ, I’ve felt like I belong to something, and I’m not just out there on my own – I feel as if I’m part of a fraternity or brotherhood.”
The Gosselins divorced in 2009, with Jon leaving the show before the family drama aired on TV. It’s rumored that he cheated on his former wife with the family nanny, and he’s admitted to not having seen his children in years. “Kate Plus 8” ran on TLC without Jon for a short time after the divorce.
When asked if he ever thought he would become a stripper, Jon replied, “No way!”
