Finally, the speculation about Jon and Kate Gosselin‘s crumbling relationship can come to an end. The couple – who have made millions of dollars and fans on their TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 - are calling it quits after 10 years of marriage, reports People magazine.
Divorce papers were apparently filed today at a courthouse near the couple’s Pennsylvania home. The pair is scheduled to make a major announcement on tonight’s episode of their hit show. One would assume it’s gonna be all about their split, but maybe they’ve got a surprise or two up their sleeves. On a sadder note – we wonder if their 8 adorable tots have any idea that mom and dad are officially over? [People. Photo: GettyImages]

This is really said to hear. There’s no doubt that Jon & Kate Plus 8 ratings WILL go down.
I really think they made a bad decisn b/c i don’t think can make handle all them 8 kids by their selves n i areally love their show n i hope they nerver end it.
Well at least I don’t have to watch the “special announcement.”
Hope they do wats best for the kids. !&!$)`+~#)#`_+(+ happens…
that is some bull because they not only have eight children together but also 10 years on their belts. What a damn shame because always want to do what they want to do and not take in consideration how it will effect those that are apart of their lives which include those children. The children will grow up knowing what happened to their parents marriage and i don’t know what the arrangements will be with the children but they will suffer the most. What a shame? Selfish people!
This news is still mind- boggling for me because i’ve watched the show since they first aired it. And i’ve often told my husband that kate reminds me alot of myself. It just goes to show that they are real people with real problems even though they are on t.v. I hope they sit the kids down especially the older ones and talk to them before the media gets to them.
These are just real people with real problems like anyone else. It’s just very sad to see them all go through this, kids included. I always thought that it seemed they should undergo counseling. Although the kids are the focus of the show, there should have been more time set aside for the two of them (taped or not). Also Kate always spoke with authority, not just with the kids but also Jon. With a little counseling I think that it might not have come to this. I’m sure many families deal with issues like this all the time, just not televised for the world to see. There are two things that have happened here. One, Jon may have felt that the world perceived him as a pushover for not standing up to Kate. Two, Kate probably felt foolish about staying with someone who might be cheating, for all the world to see in the tabloids. In the end I think each did what they did out of embarrassment and unfortunately it’s broken up a family. I still wish they would both suck it up and somehow try to make things work for themselves and for the family.
Who really cares, if they were regular people would not be making this big fuss over them. They wil manage just fine and still bring in the big bucks to support their new lifestyle so why should we worry about them
I think they mad an horrible decision, I think they both could worked it out and tell each other how one another felt. They are both adults and have 8 children together so why not just try to make it work instead of giving up. Just doesnt make any since.
Saw this coming. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a bitter divorce battle and they can come to some arrangement that’ll benefit their children.
For those who say they’re being selfish though, honestly its life. If they’ve gotten to the point where they feel this is necessary then thats just how it is. Besides, its better than having the kids grow up around two people who really don’t want to be together. Nothing good can come from an arrangement where the love that should be there is replaced by bitter tolerance.
Well fame and money has a pay ,she is not a mean person she is just fed up and beeing in control ,her husband is lazy and he looks tired ,he doesn’respect him both of them ,having cameras 24/7 is not easy.Well they have a lot of money and everyday people divorce they are not the only ones . i don’t watch this silly show .I saw him signing authographs what???is he now a Celebrity?
I really think that Kate needs to get off her high horse and quit worrying about doing all these book signings and interviews and stay home with her family and work this out. I completely see how Jon is feeling he was the bread winner for the family working his butt off and all of a sudden a show that was just going to be fun to do took over to the point he either quit or got fired from his job and now he has to stay home 24/7 while she runs the streets. I think Kate needs to put a little more effort into her family that she claims is all she cares about……but she apparently doesn’t care too much cause while they are going through all this she is still going and doing book signings and interviews,
damn! if she doesnt want john i will take him!
this is sad they lied straight up to thier kids because when they got remarried in hawii the promised thier kids that mommy and daddy will be together forever. Kates not going to be able to do this if she dosent stand up and raise these kids without john .
I BELIEVE THE RATINGS WILL GO DOWN , IT IS SAD 2 HEAR NOBODY IS SAYING 2GETHER THESE DAYS I REALLY TRUELY BELIEVE THEY WERE GONNA BEAT THAT. I FEEL SORRY 4 THOSE KIDS THEY DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND WAT GOIN ON. KATES MY GIRL AND PLEASE DONT HATE ME BUT YOU WERE 2 MEAN AND BOSSY YOU PUSHED HIM AWAY. AND I HOPE 1 DAY WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND YOUR KIDS DONT BLAME YOU FOR CHASING THEY DADDY AWAY CAUSE I REALLY SEE THEY LUV HIM. SO IF YOU READ THIS TRY TO GET HIM BACK PLEASE I THINK YALL WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER.AND IF YOU DO MAKE A SHOUT TO ME ON THE SHOW EVEN IF YOU DONT MAKE A SHOUT TO ME TRUTH TELLER
LOVE,
TRUTH TELLER
It’s a shame that they could not find a way to forgive and recommit. This sounds like a rather impulsive decision, even though to them, their troubles may seem intolerable and never-ending. The truth is that only a relatively short time ago, they loved each other deeply and shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience — having their children. That is true of all couples who have children. And always, unanticipated stresses emerge. If they could only have drawn closer rather than turning on each other, they could have gotten through this. The show is peripheral to me in the long run. There is always something extraordinary in every family — jobs are lost, affairs happen, illnesses test people. But those who can see the marriage as special and unique can brave these crises and make it together. (This does not apply in cases of physical or mental abuse, of course.) The misery of divorce and the years of problems that emerge are the worse alternative. The kids will go in different directions and will have divided and adversarial parents. The various new partners of the parents wlll occupy a disproportionately large part of the kids’ lives and minds — a distraction from their educations. And if Jon and Kate think that their new relationships will make life smooth sailing, they are wrong. Does it sound like I’ve been through it?
I beg for anyone who cares at all for these children to get this show off the air ASAP.
Can’t anyone see the damage that has already been put in motion, and it’s all documented! Maddie has for years demonstrated behavior that has the markings of serious anger, resentment and bonding issues that will produce very negative/dangerous choices in her future. I’ve always believed that she needed intervention yesterday. And now with the events of, what and who knows how long, the futures of all the children’s emotional and mental health are on a very precarious precipice and to continue in the public eye is criminal. Their lives have been build on lies and pretense. This is not meant for public consumption, the phoneyness, Kate’s borderline abusive behavior towards thier Father, the sense of entitlement that they believe is normal.
I was a huge fan because my kids were just leaving home for college and I missed them, I missed the family together, the struggles, even the neverending work and mostly just seeing them everyday. At first J & K + 8 was comforting. However, recently as I have no concept as to what the real time component of the show is, something did not feel right on the show. I was at first convinced that Jon not working out of the home was a very bad idea, bad for his autonomy and bad because Kate seems to like traditional roles (it’s her house). I then heard rumours of nannys and cooks and then Kate took off to make more money. (After her surgery she vowed to never leave them again) Suddenly they were not a family doing a remarkable job, they may as well of had a script. It felt contrived and I felt manipulated.
The events of the past months have been very sad though someone should of seen it coming, greed is a great destroyer. I will no longer watch the show as it literally sickens me when I think of what the future holds for these beautiful, innocent children, who have become commodities instead of kids. Please, Please stop this show and get these kids some professional help so that they can process and put into perspective the travesty that their lives have become.
Some older readers may remember a short documentary show done in the sixtys and the tragic results of that production. “Those who do not study history are destined to repeat it”
Thank god. I’m over hearing about them.
i think because of the age diffrence and because kate is to bossy towards men that she pushed him away
i hate to hear this bull crap and i think it was the right thing to do because they would always figh and the dont need to show that in front of their kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JON AND KATE SHOULD STILL BE TOGEGTHER IF THEY ARE
NOT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT THE
CHILDEN?
