After having been the hot topic of conversation across the internet, Jon Gosselin’s suspected mystery woman stepped out to say that there’s absolutely nothing romantic going on between her and the married reality star of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8.
“We’re just friends,” says Deanna Hummel, 23. “It’s absurd that anyone would think otherwise.”
According to Hummel, she and Gosselin met through a mutual pal not more than a couple of months ago. Since then, the two have been hanging out with a group of friends, but not as couple. They have visited each other’s houses and accompanied each other on nights out on the town, but always with others there, and it’s always all innocent, according to Hummel.
“We just talk and socialize, the normal things you do when you see friends,” says Hummel.
Hummel admits that the two did show up at Legends Bar in Reading, Pa., recently, but says a published photo of her driving Gosselin’s car has been misinterpreted. “He just got this new car and I wanted to drive it. I’m into cars,” she says. “We all have guy and girl friends. Because of who he is, it gets portrayed the wrong way, and it’s unfair to him and his family.”
What she doesn’t find funny, though, is being linked to a married man. “He’s a very nice guy, don’t get me wrong. But he’s married with eight children,” says Hummel, who is single. She adds that Gosselin “has a great family life. I would never ever think to pursue anything.”
