“I don’t have a relationship with Kate. There is no relationship. Text and email. That’s it,” Jon told Entertainment Tonight’s Brooke Anderson.

He says their relationship has been strained for four years and explained why he doesn’t pay child support.

“Kate and I both support the children financially because she takes care of school and all that stuff but I take care of the exact same things she takes care of. I buy their own groceries, they have their own groceries at my house, their own bedrooms, their own stuff, it's doubled.”

Jon is currently living in a cabin the woods with no television and waiting tables to make ends meet but said that he wouldn’t change the path his life
