After fans watched their marriage disintegrate on TV over the last few months, Jon and Kate Gosselin, the famed reality television couple from the TLC show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ have said they will divorce.
During Monday’s heavily-promoted episode of the hit series, Jon and Kate, the parents of eight children, made separate announcements about ending their 10-year marriage. The children will remain in the house, however, and Jon and Kate will take turns living there – so the show will go on.
The announcement wasn’t exactly a surprise, as viewers had seen their relationship deteriorate over recent weeks, and their problems have been tabloid and celebrity media headlines: “Caught With Other Woman” and “Inside Jon’s Prison” caught the attention of those who don’t follow the TV series.
Monday’s episode began with playhouses being delivered for the children, but the tension between the parents was evident from the start.
Around 30 minutes into the show Jon said: “Kate and I have decided to separate,” as he sat alone on the couch.
He commented about their relationship: “I was too passive. I just . . . went along with everything. Now I finally stood up on my own two feet and I’m proud of myself.”
