Even though they were both spotted at a garage sale earlier this month, Jon says they limited their communication to simple pleasantries and a few directions.

He told Us Weekly on Monday, "We don't really talk. It was cordial. Yeah we talked like, 'Go here, go there.' Like directions."

Jon also explained why he went to the garage sale, telling the site, "I donated money and got stuff back. I got my video game back. I donated $20, it went to ARL."

He added that he went to the garage sale to see his eight children and that his $20 donation went straight to his daughter Leah rather than Kate herself.

Meanwhile, a source close to the ex-couple says that Kate and Jon are definitely not on good terms.

A source told Radar Online last Tuesday, "Jon and Kate are definitely not on good terms. He literally just went there to pick up his stuff. He heard about the sale and was planning to go all week."

Earlier this month it was being reported that Jon had has reportedly been trying to "cash in" on her new TLC specials.

Although Jon is not appearing on the specials, he still thinks he deserves a paycheck because his eight children are on the show.
