Star reporter Kate Major professes Love for Jon Gosselin as new couple vacation in Southampton.
Jon Gosselin and tabloid damsel Kate Major were visiting the Hamptons Wednesday for dinner with quite the crowd.

Host Michael Lohan and two other couples joined them, including Real Housewives of New York City’s Jill Zarin and husband Bobby Zarin and Mayor Mark Epley and wife Marianne.

How is an unemployed octodad like Jon Gosselin the hottest commodity around?

Just one day after Gosselin's 22-year-old gal pal, Hailey Glassman, gushed about her new romance with the reality star, a blonde wrench was thrown into the new love triangle.

Star magazine reporter Kate Major has professed her love for Gosselin, just five days after they were first photographed leaving Upper East Side restaurant Accademia di Vino.

"I didn't mean it to happen; it just did," Major, 26, said. "I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him."

Perhaps it was love at first sight of the Ed Hardy clad dad?

No word yet on how the father of eight feels in return for the smitten tabloid reporter, but his actions are saying plenty.

Gosselin and Kate 2.0 were seen holding hands and looking cozy while on a mini-vacation to Southampton yesterday, as reported in today's Gatecrasher.

The new odd couple is staying with Michael Lohan, a close friend of Major's and yes, Lindsay's dad.

"Jon is a friend, he's a great guy, he needed a place to get away to, and my doors were open to him and Kate Major," Lohan told "Jon and Kate [Major] are good friends of mine. She's with him [at Lohan's house]. Kate's like a daughter to me. When she needed a place my doors were open."
