Kate Major, senior reporter for Star magazine, resigned Thursday morning citing a conflict of interest between the magazine and her relationship with Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin.

The announcement comes on the heels of Gosselin’s other gal pal, Hailey Glassman, gushing about her romance with the not-yet-divorced reality star.

22-year-old Glassman is the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate Gosselin‘s tummy tuck. She and Jon reportedly became engaged while on vacation together in St. Tropez, and were spotted earlier this week holding hands and getting cozy at a park in New York where Gosselin recently leased an apartment.

Major, 26, was photographed with Gosselin leaving a New York restaurant on Saturday, where the Star magazine reporter was doing a story on the reality show dad.

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

Jon and Kate #2 were spotted holding hands yesterday in Southampton, where they have been staying with Lindsay Lohan‘s dad, Michael Lohan.

“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 People.com.

When Hailey was contacted by People magazine about Jon’s trip to Southampton with Kate #2, she responded, “That’s news to me,” before tearfully adding, “I still love Jon and Jon loves me.”

It seems to us that Jon is just having fun, enjoying his (not yet) bachelor status and playing the field. Attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful.
