Is Jon Gosselin movin' on up to the swank side?

The besieged reality-TV dad visited Trump Place on the Upper West Side of Manhattan Thursday afternoon, where, according to Gawker, he checked out an available unit on the eighth floor.

This possible search for a bachelor pad—which would rent for about $3,200 a month—comes just as word got out that Monday's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 may very well feature the couple's seemingly inevitable divorce announcement.

A rep for Trump Sales and Leasing could not be reached for comment, but a source confirmed to E! News that there is an apartment up for grabs on the eighth floor of the building.

Meanwhile, Kate Gosselin isn't pulling the purse strings too tight, either. On Thursday, she drove away from a Reading, Pa., Toyota dealership in a brand-new Land Cruiser V8, as evidenced by the paparazzi pics that serve as surrogate documenter when the TLC cameras aren't around.

No word on whether she leased or bought the SUV, but that model starts at $64,755.
