Michael Lohan: Jon Gosselin ‘Would Love To Be Friends' With Kate

While Jon Gosselin has been linked to Hailey Glassman and tabloid reporter Kate Major in the weeks since announcing his split from estranged wife Kate, the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star may have a bromance on his hands, too.

Michael Lohan, who has been hosting Jon during his current trip to the Hamptons, was photographed with his new pal in Southampton, where according to People, the pair attended a business meeting, took a beachside walk and even shopped at J. Crew before heading off to a polo match.

"He's fantastic and upbeat and said that he just wanted to concentrate on his kids and his career and his life," Michael told the mag. "It's overwhelming for him but he's handling it."

That career may include what Michael called "a lot of opportunities… opening up for him."
