EX TV personality Jon Gosselin seems to be on good terms with his second-oldest daughter Hannah.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum posed side-by-side with Hannah at what appeared to be a formal event, and the two looked happy as a lark.

The daddy-daughter duo leaned into each other while they side-hugged for their photo-op.
Since both Jon, 46, and Hannah, 19, were sitting at a table when they took the snap, very little of their respective outfits were caught on camera.
However, the part of Jon’s white button-down shirt and tie that was visible was a clue that the Gosselins were at a fancy gathering.
For the pic, both Jon and Hannah gave their toothiest smiles, hence why the Gen-Xer captioned the post: “Say cheese!!! #smile.”
Fans flooded Jon’s comment section with compliments on the touching twosome’s selfie.
“This is a very beautiful picture of father and daughter.
“She is growing up to be a strong woman,” one fan praised.
Another added: “Oh, she is so pretty, and you are so handsome. What a gorgeous picture.”

A third fan cosigned: “Well you must be doing something right. No one can take that away from you.
“I hope your other kids see that and come around soon. Good job Jon.”
UPS AND DOWNS
Jon currently has a volatile relationship with a few of his children, excluding Hannah.
He didn’t speak with his estranged children Alexis, Leah, Joel, and Aaden on their 19th birthday.
But he exclusively told The U.S. Sun in May he will “never give up” on having a relationship with them.
Jon and his ex-wife Kate’s, 48, sextuplets celebrated their 19th birthday on May 20.
While Kate had custody of Alexis, Leah, Joel, and Aaden before they turned 18, Jon had Hannah and Collin in his care.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Jon revealed how the birthday was bittersweet.
Jon said: “It’s hard to believe the kids are 19! We wanted to do something special all together, of course, but it’s midweek week, and we all work. I took Collin out to lunch before he went to work.
“We met at a restaurant close to my job. I only work 10 miles from Collin’s job, so it was convenient. It’s just nice to spend time together. He is grown up to be such a hardworking good guy. I feel pretty lucky.”
As for Hannah, Jon said of their celebration: “Hannah, myself, and some friends went to dinner at Building 24 in Wyomissing, PA. We had a cake, and she blew out the candles.
“It was awesome. Building 24 is a Lounge restaurant that I DJ at three times a month. I have been DJing there off and on since 2015 so it felt like family.”
As for Jon’s remaining four sextuplets, he, unfortunately, did not see or speak to them.
He explained: “Unfortunately, I didn’t speak to my other children on their birthday. The last time I spoke to Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel was in 2018.
The DJ added: “I will never give up trying to talk to my children. I’m hoping with social media that maybe they might reach out to me at some point.
“The door is always open to rekindle any kind of relationship. I’ve tried for years for any interaction with any of my other kids, but nothing yet.”
But Jon did wish them well on social media, as he captioned a photo of the sextuplets: “HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to all my Kids!! I love you all so much!!”
Jon also shares twins Mady and Cara, 22, with Kate, who he was married from 1999 to 2009.
CUSTODY WAR OVER
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 stars were involved in a nasty custody battle through the years that ended when the children turned 18.
Jon previously told The U.S. Sun how it feels for the 14-year court war to come to an end: “I’m in a pretty euphoric place right now.
“It’s finally over, I don’t have to deal with her, with court hearings, lawyers – it’s done. I can get on with my life, it’s such a good feeling. I don’t even think it’s sunk in yet because I’ve been going to court for so long.
“The thing in these cases is that there’s no winning. The only winners are the lawyers. The kids always lose out- it’s not a soccer match, there’s never a winner.
“But now I’m finally moving on with my life.”
