Kate Gosselin Marriage In Crisis: She’s Considering A Split (Photos)
Kate Gosselin, mother of twins and sextuplets, and star on her family’s TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, has seen her life played out on the world stage in ways she could never have imagined just a short while ago. Her husband Jon Gosselin appears to have developed a partying lifestyle and is reported to have carried on a secret three month affair with third-grade teacher Deanna Hummel of Reading, Pennsylvania.
For the past few weeks, both Jon and Kate have been lending credence to internet rumors by making statements to all of the top celebrity sites, including People magazine. They have denied rumors of infidelity, first he and just yesterday, Kate disputed rumors that she has been engaging in an extra-marital affair with her bodyguard Steve Neild - see Us Weekly photos below.
Check out what Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jodi had to say about his sister and her crumbling family. The Kreider’s sad interview hit the internet on May 14, 2009 and is available on video here.
Last week Kate discounted what appeared to be fairly hard evidence that Jon was cheating on her. His girlfriend’s brother provided photos and video along with details pointing to a relationship that appears to be more than a casual friendship. Things have apparently changed because now Kate has provided some additional insight into the situation, and it doesn’t look good for their marriage.
Kate told People magazine in an interview that will hit newsstands this Friday, “I don’t know that we’re in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing. I’ve been struggling with the question of ‘Who is this person?’ for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard HER name. It’s one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there’s blaring, red flashing lights.”
She went on to say, “You can’t imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months. When your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios.” That said, she did put a positive spin on the end of the interview with the statement, “I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again.”

I think Kate and Jon should somehow work it out. Go to marriage counseling sessions and take a vacation just without the children. For the sake of the marriage and most importantly, for the sake of the children.
Kate is fake. Take a look at what she says and looks like when the first time the show started. People think changing your appearance doesn’t me anything, think again. That is one of the first things people do change when thinking about leaving or cheating. Yes, I do have facts and examples. Kate acts like she’s a “Christian”, shame on you Kate!!!! With this being said, she is HOT and I would hook up with her, but I’m single.
I want to know why she needs a bodyguard, and she brought this on herself. And the show is not reality. It is not about a normal family at all trying to cope with real life, they are coping with what they chose to do.. This is a soap opera and tlc should cancel the show..
They need to quit the spotlight and focus on healing their marriage and getting right with God.
I think its very sad if these rumors are true
Meg
I think you may have it wrong – the apparent girfriend’s (Deanna) brother had no video or photos just a bunch of blah, blahs about them – which she denied. It was Deanna’s old boyfriend that has old photos and an old video of her.
At least that’s what I read around.
I believe from what i have seen on the show kate is sometimes really hateful towards jon and two people that claim they love eachother they have a funny way in showing that…
I definitely think Kate has OCD. She and Jon may have been able to make it with just the twins but don’t know now. Of course Kate and Jon may not have made it with just the twins. They are just so opposite and she admitted that marrying Jon was out of character for her.
Plus think the reality show was a mistake. Maybe that was a way to make money to care for their children, but do they NEED that many things and trips and that big a house? Their life is in no way a “normal life” with cameras rolling and all the people in their house. What problems are they going to have later on in life after this crazy childhood? Am afraid these reality shows may be detrimental to some/all of these families.
Kate and Jon are definitely two types personalities and think it’s a good thing Jon has a spontaneous side, which Kate does not. Of course, she thinks everything must be “under control” all the time. Must give the kids very mixed messages. And I agree, she does not really “parent” these children in a loving way. She “manages”.
Hopefully, they will be able to salvage their marriage for the sake of the children, but some things are worse than divorce. Sometimes better for the children to live separately with two happy civil parents than live in the midst of tension and unhappy parents
I think everyone should mind their own business. These are just tabloid rumors and maybe if people just left them alone they would be able to work things out on their own time. I wish them the best.
Ilove the show and dont listen to all the horrible things people say try your best to get to the root of the problem and work it out i love the show and kate you are doing a great job with the kids
It’s very very clear the changes that have taken place over the years, in particular with Kate. Most woman want to look the best they can and being on tv every week would certainly exacerbate that need. But, her innocence regarding the show and the “reality” of their lives, daily activities, trials and tribulations was evident at the start (truly real) and it’s now become something very very different. The show is no longer a documentation of their lives. It’s entirely planned, controlled, and produced. Kate has become colder, caustic, even more controlling, overly self conscience. She even comes off as bored at times now that she’s got what she wants. A big house that all hers and plenty of money. The most difficult part to watch is how disrespectful and down right mean she is to John. If he has in fact begun a relationship with someone else, I believe she drove him to it.
Oh Please, this woman could care less about what the public thinks or says. She hails from a trailer park and the mentality that goes with it; money, attention, materialism at any cost. I believe Kate had a plan to fame and fortune; fertility treatments that would yield multiples and more multiples that would in turn yeild money , free stuff and more money and wealth………She is a smart woman who just happens to also be narcissistic to the core, hateful, coldhearted, controlling, manipulating and mean as a snake.
Kate, you should remember who you were when you met Jon, and try to be the person who Jon chose to marry. However, Jon, if there were marital problems, or things in your marriage that made you unhappy, you should have first talked about it with Kate, and resolve how to solve any problems that may exist. That being said, Kate, you really should loosen up, and also stop degrading Jon on camera. It does not make you look very appealing.
JON & KATE, any marrage has it`s faults as none are perfect. people need to enjoy you without listing to tabloids . i see you as a gift to the babies and to us who watch & love you. thank you & kate please be nice to the man who adores you more kisses less slaps ! play nice & remember your kids are taking lessons. especially (mattie ) prayerfully lyhna
omg KATE IS SO PRETTY I LOVE THIER SHOW I HATE 2 HEAR THIS HAPPEN UGHHHHHHHHH
Jonnnnn and Kateeeeeeee just should be left alone to deal with their problems…the press should stop making such a BIG deal about it…
i hate seeing them on the Insider every single night!
Sheeshcabobbbbbbbbb!!!
I can see Jon Needing a Well Deserved Break from Being the Perfect Daddy and Cleaning up all the Pooping and Being there for Kate and the Kids all those Years, I hope Kate and Him work it out and they Move to Utah and Jon Keeps on Snowboarding with his Sons and Daughters! I always Loved the Show!!!
I hope it is just a Faze of getting used to being Famous and they get back to being a Good Family. I will keep saying a Prayer at Night for All of Them.
It is always a sad t hing to see and hear a family in crisis. Only Jon & Kate know the truth about the rumors being told, but with all that aside there is problems in t he marriage. My husband and I saw it during the very 1st season of their show and stopped watching. The show needs to be canceled, the couple need to get marriage counseling and personal counseling for the problems that led to the marriage problems and may this family heal, grow closer to each other and closer to God. All things are possible through Christ!
They both should’ve never agreed to do sucha thing.it’s all for show.they don’t care about those children putting them through this.you just don’t agree to display your life to the world and expect to live a sane lifestyle!is there any episodes of them in the church or talking about god?not unless their in trouble,that’s the only time people want the help of god,when they need him!this is the main reason their life is falling apart befor their very eye’s.if you want to make it in life,you got to have god in it!don’t get me wrong,i like this show.i hate to see this happening to them.but what do they expect?their life is in the public eye.they brought this on themselves!
why is the public making this so big let jon and kate live there life we can support them but dont tell them what to do and dont spread rumors you dont know are true
Ya Know.. I’ve watched the show too from the beginning just as many people have. I thought for a while about if I wanted to post anything on this topic on any site I’ve read, and I just felt the need to add my opinion to it all. Not that any of this gets back to Jon or Kate.. but it’s sad really. The victims here are NOT Jon or Kate. The victims are those poor, innocent, beautiful babies! We have watched them grow up in front of the camera. We have seen what goes on behind the “gosselins” closed doors so to speak.. I have to admit, in the beginning, it did seem real. When Kate was a true “mom” and not doing it all for show. It makes me sick really, how rude and controlling she can be and I believe that’s truly how she has become. I think the money, fame and lack of care for anyone but herself has made her into someone I hate watching now. She has always been rude to Jon and although I do not think that cheating has any excuse in ANY situation, that he can’t be happy with someone that treats him like that. The issue of having 8 kids can’t be easy either…as it’s hard enough for me raising only one! But seriously, who in their right mind puts their children on TV for the world to see.. “because you want to document their lives?” I don’t even like people talking to my son in the grocery store much less displaying his image to the whole world! I really think that this “jon and kate plus 8″ thing is tremendously been blown out of proportion. Up until last night, I really enjoyed the show. I love seeing the kids laugh and smile.. but seeing the way they were last night .. it was painful. Who knows how much is for the cameras, and how much is “real”.. but if half of the emotion that was felt from the way they talked about their marriage was any truth.. it actually hurt me to think about what those poor children are going to go through. I don’t think divorce should be the first option, but I definitely think that if they are going to continue to “fake” being happy, then maybe divorce is the right decision.. especially if you’re truly wanting to take it back to “reality”. I think Kate is a VERY fake person.. and has become the epitome of “selfish”. I really think that they need to walk away from the show and let these children start to live a somewhat normal life.. while they are still young. SCREW the contracts they signed for TLC. Where are the people that care about these chiidren?
oh goodness where do i start? when i first started hearing these rumors i was floored. i watch every week, religiously, it’s crazy cuz i read the book, see the show and was caught so off surad when everything stared happening. I feel for kate, unf the way that Jon has been acting is was shady, i didnt believe it at first but with the body language and remarks that have been out played by jon its hard not too. Kate seems really sad and yeah ok she has speaking engagements and things to do to support her family, she has got to do it, i would too if it meant my family living in luxery. I think that Jon doesnt realize what he is doing to his family.
In this season opener you can tell that the kids know what is going on, did you see the reaction to him at the party. its so sad. non the less i will continue to support the gosslin fam.
I think it is paramount to cancel this show. The children are exploited and seemed to be unloved. I cannot help but say this. The only memories these children will have are cameras in their home. Soon they will be old enough to understand that this was all for ratings. I fear for these children and their future. It seems as though Jon and Kate’s marriage is over. That is so sad because there are eight innocent children that are suffering because of their decision. They have turned their lives into a circus and then complain about the attention. In the end you reap what you sew, God bless those children.
I think everyone should leave them alone and let them work it out!! Sometime people make things worse by butting in. I think they both love their children and got off track. I hope they get it together and wish them the best.
I read they get paid $75,000.00 per episode. PER EPISODE. Need I say more? So, of course Kate will continue to do the show and her and Jon will “pretend” to be a family, but it is so obvious they do not want to even sit next to each other. It is very sad for the kids sakes. They are the ones who are going to get hurt the most. I hope they both really think about ending the show and letting the kids deal with the divorce (if that is what happens) in privacy. Shame on you TLC.
There’s a reason god made her naturally infertile…
” I hope they both really think about ending the show and letting the kids deal with the divorce (if that is what happens) in privacy. ”
Are you kidding? That’s sweeps week ratings there !!!
I may even tune in.
