Jon Gosselin Hits Hawaii Sans Hailey, but They're Still On

Reality dad heads off alone for tropical island vacay, but a source says he still talks to his on-off girlfriend five times a day

When Jon Gosselin touched down at LAX yesterday, we were sure he was about to launch another media-whoring trip here in Hollywood and braced ourselves for the obligatory photo ops of him lunching at the Ivy and shopping on Robertson Boulevard.

Thankfully, we learned that he was just stopping over en route to Hawaii. Ya know, the very special destinationwhere he renewed his wedding vows with Kate just last year as cameras rolled.

Only this time around, he's there for someone else's romantic rendezvous, reportedly attending the wedding of Phillies baseballer Shane Victorino.

And although Jon made the trip solo, we're hearing he's still very much on with girlfriend Hailey Glassman.

Even though the two recently announced they were "taking a break," a source tells E! News they're in constant contact...

"They're on. They talk, like, five times a day," a source tells us of the twosome. "They're very up and down, like teenagers. She loves him."

Could the infamous dad of eight have announced his split with Hailey in hopes of rehabbing his rep?

"Jon knows what everyone thinks about him, and regrets many of his decisions made in the past," a source tells E! News. "He wants to start making decisions that will make his children proud."

One such move could be to start a children's charity, according to our source.

We think he could start by getting some spelling lessons, but that's just us.
