Kate Gosselin and her new boyfriend Jeff Prescott certainly have something in common. That’s usually a good sign in any relationship. In this case, however? That common bond comes in the form of the millionaire entrepreneur’s own history of poor parenting allegations. Jon Gosselin is fighting his ex-wife for custody in the wake of shocking reports that Kate Gosselin ditched her kids for four days recently. Without leaving a phone number where she could be reached, no less. Prior to that, Jon received temporary custody of their daughter Hannah after a complaint was filed over Kate’s cruelty toward the girl. Jeff hasn’t been down that road, but his own situation is interesting. His former wife Michelle Jones accused the 51-year-old of neglecting his three children during the couple’s nasty 2006 divorce, according to Radar . Court documents claim her husband of nearly 20 years has had “infrequent” visits with Ashley, Brooke, and Connor, who were then 19, 14 and 10. She also alleged Jeff often left town “on business and pleasure,” without giving his estranged wife or their kids, one of whom is disabled, any notice. “There have been times when he has not answered his cell phone for days,” Jones claimed then, in a remark eerily similar to Kate’s situation.

In a supposed attempt to manipulate her, “He told her that she may ‘not be able to go to college.’ He told her we may go ‘bankrupt.’” Jeff Prescott admits the split was nasty, but says it’s in the past. “As for the divorce issues, most of them do not carry any merit,” he explains. “We went through some tough times that were short lived.” Prescott adds that the couple’s three children have “awesome values as a result of having a good mother and a caring, loving father.” “Michelle and I get along great and have for a long time.” Jones tells Radar she has given Prescott and Gosselin her blessing, as “he deserves happiness,” so they see eye to eye now at least.
