Jon and Kate Gosselin were one of the most discussed couples in hollywood with the start of their TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8.
Jon and Kate had been married and started their family off by having a set of twins, Cara and Madelyn. Followed by sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Joel, Leah, Collin, and Aaden. Jon and Kate finally had their happy family,
NOT.
All seemed okay until Jon Gosselin decided it would be a good idea to tear this huge family apart by cheating on his wife. People.Com reports that Jon was seen leaving a bar in Pennsylvannia with another woman, Deanna Hummel. She claims they were not cheating, while her brother says the affair has been going on for 3 months. With the photographed evidence, those claims are hard to deny. Publicly, the couple denied the rumors of Jon cheating. But in interviews during their TLC show they both talked about how they were unsure where their relationship was heading.
Rumors also went around about Kate cheating with her bodyguard, Steve Neild. Kate denied these rumors saying she requires him for protection. Which in understandable when you are the mother of 8 children being followed by paparazzi. Jon however, does not require the protection of another female, at a bar.
Throughout all the drama, the love between Jon and Kate clearly deminished. Neither were clear on what would happen to their marriage. For me, once you are unsure about your feelings towards your wife/husband, the love is gone.
Eventually, Kate and Jon filed for divorce. Some people think that Kate is a crazy woman or a whack job. Please, have 8 children and a camera crew surrounding you at all times, then you can comlain. Some people also say that the divorce was inevitable, they might be right. But I wouldn't care at all about them being divorced if it wasn't for the poor 8 children who have to live with this torn family now. Plus it seems now that Kate is happier. New York Daily News reports Kate has bought a condo in Maryland where she will stay while Jon stays with the children in the house.
Kate became more of a super mom, if that was possible. She spent every waking minute with her children, living the single mom life. Jon used his days to buy more Ed Hardy clothes and party harder.
Clearly the actions of the two parents indicate who is the more respectable human being. Taking care of your large family should be more important to someone than partying with young women. If I had to give Jon Gosselin an award, I would give him the "Dead Beat Dad" award. Congratulations!
If there was a moral to this story, anywhere, It would be this:
DON'T MAKE 8 CHILDREN WITH SOMEONE IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHEAT ON THEM.
Jon Gosselin is full of bad decisions. Sadly, 8 children are stuck in the middle of a torn family.
But Kate is trying her best to keep her childrens lives happy, and relatively normal. When I talk about respecting people, Kate is one of those people that I respect as a celebrity. She could have gone out and partied harder than anybody, she could have got her self a new man or had affair after affair, but she knew what was more important to her. Her family.
The victims in this sad story are the children, but their hero should be their mother.
That's all I got to say.

This was really interesting! I liked how you included links to sites with more information. I also like how you gave Kate the credit she deserves!
ReplyDeleteReally why does John were those clothes. He looks like he's trying to be someone else. I think that the whole divorece and even the cheating wouldn't have been as big of a deal if the media didn't reveal the Gosselins problem and left them alone. They make divorce seem like the end of the world but it actually happens a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love the honesty in here. it's great!
ReplyDeleteKate is awesome! And i give her serious props for raising 8 kids, even when she had a husband! She has been very strong throughout this whole thing! I definetly wouldn't of been able to hold it together as well as she did! Good job and i can't wait to watch your videos! (:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Kate was able to come back from this as strong as ever, and I hope she stays that way. I expect that she won't let this new kind of fame go to her head, and she'll never forget that her children are the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteI don't really respect anybody who puts their kids in the limelight they way they have. And John Gosselin is a deadbeat who doesn't deserve the amount of fame he has.
ReplyDeletePeople who cheat disgust me. It's not fair that these kids have to go through this. All John and Kate think about is themselves.
ReplyDeleteI just don't see why they have a TV show in the first place, they need to fix their problems and raise their damn kids.
ReplyDeleteAmen sister.
