“The Bachelor” star Jake Pavelka and fiance Vienna Girardi broke up this week after seven months of unwedded non-bliss. Vienna is moving on with ABC Family’s “Greek” hottie Gregory Michael, and FOX411.com has learned Jake may be calling America’s most famous mother of eight.

Yep, we’re talking about Kate Gosselin.

A friend of the former couple tells FOX411.com that Jake liked Kate so much during his time on “Dancing with the Stars,” she may be hearing from the hunky pilot for a date now that both of them are single.

“Jake adored Kate on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and spoke very highly of her to Vienna,” the pal said. “It’s never easy to hear your man talking about another woman. During ‘DWTS,’ Vienna and Jake were having some problems already and Jake would gush about Kate! He really liked her, respected her and looked up to her. Jake was always talking about Kate and the two of them had super friendly chemistry on set.”

So while the other men on the set were busy avoiding Kate, Jake was doing just the opposite. “Jake was the one man at ‘DWTS’ that seemed to understand Kate and he accepted her as she was,” said our insider. “He liked her and was never bothered by her while all the other guys would avoid her.”

Kate appreciated the support from Jake, too. (Gosselin was one of the show’s worst dancers and did not get along with her dance partner Tony Dovolani.) “Jake was adorable with Kate. He hugged her and chatted with her when they had down time. He would tell people what a great mom she was and how hard-working she was for her kids,” said our source. “Jake loved her goals and her work ethic. He’s a driven guy and they had that in common. Kate did her share of friendly flirting with Jake right back, it wasn’t all Jake.”

Meanwhile, Vienna has already moved on, and is hoping for her own run on “Dancing with the Stars.” “Vienna felt like she was trapped in a contract and they had to try to stick it out, even though the romance faded fast,” our source said. “She tried to make it work, and now she would like a spot on ‘DWTS.’ She’s moving on fast.”
