Jon & Kate Plus Eight, the popular TLC show, might soon end up losing the rhyming title. Chances are that we will soon be witnessing something like Jon & Four Plus Kate & Four, or Jon & Six Plus Kate & Two, or Jon & Eight Plus Kate & None. The show’s stars, Kate and Jon Gosselin, have finally decided to drift apart and end their 10-year marriage.
The Gosselins filed the divorce papers at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, Pa., Monday afternoon. People reports,
In February, photos surfaced of Jon in the company of young women during a solo visit to see his mother, who was recuperating from surgery, in Huntingdon, Pa. The couple quickly attempted to quash rumors of problems. But in May, the scandal erupted again when 23-year-old Deanna Hummel was photographed driving Jon’s car home from a bar late at night.
When the fifth season of the Gosselins’ show premiered May 25, the couple admitted to having problems and not knowing where their relationship was headed. “Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate,” Kate said through tears. “I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore.”
I don’t want to comment on this divorce because, well, I see this relationship as nothing more than a rigged reality TV show. No points for guessing that Kate is the one who used her family to buy cheap fame for herself. I feel sad for the kids. I wish this turns out to be a promotional stunt for the TLC show, because divorce really hurts!
