Kate Gosselin appeared on the Today Show this morning for her first interview since filing for divorce from husband, Jon Gosselin, back in June. Kate spoke out on a lot of issues, including the reason she continues to wear her wedding ring and what she things of Jon’s many recent flings.
When asked about the fact that Jon has admitted to starting a relationship with 22 year old Hailey Glassman in May, well before the reality show couple’s June 22 divorce announcement, Kate said, “I was shocked.” She added: “It’s very hurtful. To be very honest the most hurtful part is when his decisions directly affect the children.”
Kate also denied a rumored affair with her bodyguard, Steve Neild, and attacked her brother who has criticized her publicly.
As for the reason she continues to wear her wedding ring, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 mom said she keeps the ring on to make the divorce transition easier for her children.
Kate said, “Sorry, I don’t want to upset them (the kids.) I don’t want to shock them.”
I hear Johnny cash’s HURT in the background. boo hoooo. Nah, she has been very composed although for me personally I think she is just as bent as Jon. I wonder how steve is doing? and Hailey and Kate and Joanna and Lisa and donna and so on and so on……..lmao
JMO Kate pushed that man right into the arms of another woman. I’ve been watching the show (and will continue) since it started as a documentory. I absolutely love watching these 8 children growing up year after year. My children are grown (no grandbabies yet) and have the empty nest going on and watching these wonderful babies is just delightful.
But the parents(adults) are another thing.
We had Uncle Kevin and Auntie Jodie that the children ADORED. They were the adults in charge when Kate and Jon we out. Then the poop hit the fan and now they are gone. And HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN where auntie and uncle are. Just because the truth hurts you take these 2 VERY IMPORTANT people AWAY from them. They are concerned for their nieces and nephews and rightly so.Your not a very nice person and need serious counsiling. You really should consider it. Your issue is with your brother and sister in law and the children should not be kept from them. They are FAMILY. . PERIOD……………You say everything you do (Kate) is for the children if that is the case you NEVER should have taken these two from them. You have now alienated your WHOLE family from your children. They will never know their cousins because YOU say it’s best.
And Jon ………..well from the beginning he needed a backbone.You treated him as a 9th child. And we seen him loose his manhood year after year. He didn’t speak unless you gave him permission,he didn’t do or say ANYTHING right. He had his $5 allowance, that poor man needed to be rid of you.
You get no sympathy from this 50 year old Mom
It was about time he got away from your grasp.
wow. I had a feeling she was the alpha person in the relationship, but dazzaam.lol. I love hearing juicy stuff. wooo
I see Kate’s doing the talk show circuit now that interest in Jon & K(h)ate has started to dwindle. She knows she can’t make ends meet with her new lavish lifestyle if the show gets canceled. Gee, ain’t that too bad? Maybe it’s time for Kate to sell the big house? Could it be that Kate needs to stop traveling all over the place & leaving her kids with hired help? Just maybe Kate should GET A JOB! After all, she is a nurse! She’s got a very useful skill and it’s not like she couldn’t find work.
Kate, don’t piss and moan to me about not being able to afford the kids. You did just fine before you got used to all those lavish perks that came with the TV show and your pseudo-celebrity status. If you’ve invested the kids’ money wisely, their educational needs should be taken care of. Quit your bitchin’ and go find a job — and the same goes for Jon. No one paid the way for me and my kids, what makes you think you should get a free ride just because you chose to have your kids in a litter instead of one at a time?
Give Kate a break! Her baby boy husband wanted to use his main head with all those girls, live a free lifestyle and have his fun when and where he wants it. He was just like that in his marriage.
Where have all the Scripture shirts and his faith gone. He has turned his back on his wife and family for some rolls in the hay and heavy drinking without thinking of the consequences of his actions and how his children will feel. They were on a tight budget before the money came in and no wonder she gave him an allowance for lunch, otherwise it would have been steak everyday. Look at the way he has been throwing money around. He lost his job because he was on the computer all the time looking for freebees. His was/is a irresponsible husband and person and Kate always carried the load. I am tired of people making Kate responsible for Jon’s personal irresponsible behavoir and affairs. Good thing he is gone because she would probably have STD by now.
I heard she chose the cash over the marriage. I was not there though to veify.lol. seems about right though.lol
Brenda please get the facts correct
Jon QUIT his IT job 4 years ago.That marriage was over months ago (like Kate said yesterday on Today that the end came in October).The reason they “stayed” together was for the show and only because of the show. Her brother Kevin and sister in law both verified that Jon had told them about the marriaqe and how Kate had wanted to make it look like everything was fine. She is such a FRAUD.
And than she cried to Meridith. Give me a break. You never see her cry and she said herself that she was HARD.According to Kevin (who I believe) Kate gave Jon permission to see other girls as long as he kept is SECRET. And what got her so mad is that he wasn’t careful and because he got “caught”.
He is a great dad . She has been on the road for years for her book deals and who was home with the 8 while SHE was gone………..Jon thats who………..and when she made the statement that the children were NOT safe with Jon (she said this right after they announced their seperation) I could have screamed. It was OK to leave them with Jon while she was galavanting across the US with Steve the bodyguard.
So you can defend her ,Brenda , if you need to but your wrong. She is getting everything she deserves ,for what she has done to the DOZENS of people and family in her life.
Don’t you find that peculiar that her doesn’t speak to her family and what has happened to ALL the folks that were there for the kids in the beginning???????? Funny huh their ALL GONE.
You figure it out!!!!!!!!!!!!
love those eight – are you family? Close friend? Hayley?
Where do you get your facts? Jon is a liar. He wanted out. Look at his women and actions.
absolutely not I am just a woman whos been watching since day 1 and seen how things deteriated over the years. How she has treated that man over the years. I’m going to tell you something if your not gonna treat your man right SOMEONE else will. So don’t blame anyone else but Kate for showing Jon the door. Like yesterday TLC showed reruns of the show and the episode where the 8 see the NEW house for the first time. Jon called the 8 “nosey” or something to that effect. The reason he used that word was because the 6 went down to the barn with Jon and were noseing around. Well Kate TOOK Jons head off (right on camera) for using that word and he was never to use it again. Come on she just gets me.
There are alot of woman that can make that man happy and I hope he finds the right one. She doesn’t deserve him JMO
tell us some lies Jon has told????
Jon still has a relationship with his family UNLIKE Kate and that is where I get my facts…………..from HER family members interviews.
Oh what about cheating Kate and Steve…. ring a bell ….and that was BEFORE Haley and the other Kate.
Why all the Kate-Hate? Some of you are saying that she shouldn’t have gotten used to the ritzy lifestyle, needs to stay home with their children, and go back to work as a nurse. Well, what about Jon? Doesn’t the same apply to him?
I don’t blame Kate for John ‘losing his manhood’ year after year. The way I see, Jon never had a backbone to begin with. I can see how and why Kate would’ve allowed Jon to secretly see other women. It was, no doubt, her attempt to keep the marriage and the show going. A lot of money was involved and they stood to make a lot more in the future, and would have, had Jon been able to control his silly teenage impulses.
Getting drunk in a bar and leaving with a woman at 2 a.m. when he was suppose to be with his children is inexcusable. There is PROOF of Jon’s adultery. Whether real or not, there is no PROOF of Kate’s. Not yet, and maybe not ever.
It’s unfortunate that Kate has such an awful relationship with her family. But this bad relationship doesn’t negate Jon’s huge part in the disintegration of their marriage. I assume that Jon gets along fine with his family. Does that seem to have made him a better person? No.
By the way, ‘love those 8′, I take it you aren’t much of a feminist. I kept hearing Tammy Wynette singing “Stand By Your Man” in the background as I read what you wrote.
you are so wrong about me being a feminist. I am a bra buring broad from the hippie days and at age 15 thumbed from Ma to NY to Woodstock.
My thing is that if what your OK with her giving Jon permission to see other girls than DON’T go on national TV a shed a tear as if your heartbroken. I have a problem with women looking like victims. She needs to take responablitiy for her behaviour. SPEAK THE TRUTH. My mother (87 years old) always told me and my sister that “if your not going to take care of your man there is ALWAYS someone who will. Their like dogs.Keep him fed and he won’t wonder”. And that is so true.
She had a good thing going and she messed it up. JMO
Love those eight – I hope Jon appreciates your support since you think he is deserving. Men can be fed at home and get tired if they are insecure about themselves or just jerks. Look at the different girlfriends and the different lies. Jon let Kate do that to him if that is your reasoning. By the way Kate was out making money for the family as her little Jon stayed home and played – at home and in the bars. Jon has turned out not to be a good thing! JMO
lets agree to disagree
One last thing, God bless those 8 beautiful children.
I agree with agreeing to disagree. You are right. The only thing we can do is pray for the children. Peace!
