dosent he have blue eyes
He has very light coloured eyes so i guess he didn’t got that from his mother.
I, too, have been wondering what Jon Gosselin’s ancestry was as he did not look like any particular race I could think of. His features are very unusual, and I hate to say, not attractive at all.
Z, thanks for the comment. It is curiosity nothing more or less.
