Jon and Kate Plus 8 To Make Big Announcement

What Will Be the Announcement on Jon and Kate Plus 8?

June 19, 2009

After 10 years of marriage and portions of their life being aired on television and made into tabloid headlines, our favorite TLC family is said to be making a major announcement in Monday's hourlong episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8. While there's speculation that the couple will announce a separation or impending divorce, even many of us viewers who once held out hope are at a loss as to what may happen. Jon was recently spotted checking out a pricey apartment in New York's Trump Tower.

Whether or not the 32-year-old daddy is shopping for a bachelor pad, his unhappiness has been evident in both last season's finale and in this season's episodes, particularly last week on American Chopper when Jon made a comment about OCC's black widow bike being fitting for Kate. It seemed like the married man who always appeared to have a weakness for his type A wife had distanced himself entirely. Meanwhile, cameras continued to roll on the other nine Gosselins, making us think that maybe the big news is that the father is leaving the show. Watching this clip, it's impossible not to feel for Jon, Kate, and their children as they enter the next phase of their lives in the public eye. What do think the announcement will be?

You can stop hoping it's that they're ending the show - they just filed for divorce. They have not, of course, attempted to end the show.

I have only watched this show a few times and I have always thought it was ridiculous that people were so into it. I hope this show ends so I don't have to hear about them anymore.

TLC runs the commercials, but not the other publicity Kate does. And TLC can do whatever they want, if Jon and Kate don't provide fuel, the commercials are nothing. TLC can't decide when they make a divorce announcement and I have no doubt Jon and Kate planned the timing to coincide with the TLC promotion and publicity.

hopefully the announcement is about quitting the show to work on their marriage via counselling

How about "THE KIDS ARE THE ONLY ONES I LIKE AND THEIR PARENTS ARE BOTH IDIOTS"

K22 - Do you live in Gosselin territory? I do and the stories I have heard about Kate do show that she is a total b**ch. You shake your finger at us and say that we don't know her, but do you??

K22: So we cannot insult poor Kate, but you can insult Jon and everyone else? Pot, kettle, black. Stop the bullshit about struggling. She/the whole family is NOT struggling financially

Jon cheated on his wife. He should have had some balls and just ended it. If he was sick of her bithcy ways, he just should have left before moving on. He still has to raise kids with that woman. It's one thing if you want to leave, a whole other thing if you burn her on they way out. He deserves whatever he gets.

This show is use to be mindless entertainment now is hard to watch. I seriously feel so sad for those little kids. When the idiot parents go at it, look at their little faces. So sad. TLC ought to end this show. It's hard to watch now. People want to be entertained and check outof real life when watching TV. TLC should do the right thing for the kids and end it.

i would think TLC would be responsible for the commercials and advertising their divorce publicly. I don't think the network would give a couple the freedom to decide when to publicize what.

Yeah, all these comments about how both of them are jackasses are really letting Jon off the hook.

I don't know, I find them more interesting now, maybe because they've done such a 180 from where they started. They used to be this perfect, happy, Christian couple, and now they're embroiled in this messy drama. It just shows how you can never know one's life will go in the future--you can take nothing for granted.

I've watched on and off over the years, but always enjoyed the sweet family moment. Now, just the sight of these two disgusts me...Jon needs to grow some *%@&*^! backbone, and I wish Kate would shave that rats nest off her head. Whatever this huge announcement is, I just wish they'd go away...they're not celebrities and don't belong on the cover of gossip mags and have no business invading my popsugar!!! okay I'm done ranting now

I used to watch the show until it became all about the things they where given, hair plugs trips and everything in between, I hope they are done with the show too, everyone is saying the same thing who want's to watch their marriage crumble on T.V.? I sure don't. I think this is the stupidest way to handle the end of a marriage and TLC should be ashamed of their selves for cashing in on a horrible situation like this. I hope Jon and Kate are done for good.

I don't even know them, but I sure hope that they're going to consider marriage counseling. Trying to salvage whatever. They just had a renewal ceremony last year! I dunno, I just don't want them to be part of the divorce statistics, it sucks to see and boy, I feel sorry for the children that they're going to go through this publicly.

k22- I do find it funny that we all shouldn't make ignorant comments about Kate, but it's apparently fine to make them about Jon. It's only shallow when we trash the wife.

Wow. I can only hope that those of you making ignorant comments about 2 people you dont remotely know, are aware of you shallowness. A woman with a strong mind and head is deamed a bitchm yet the man who chose to cheat and lie because of a midlife identity crisis get off. Good for her for making the most of this show she possible can - who are all you to judge her? YOU go pop out 8 children and then come back and tell me you wouldnt be working your ass off to make money to support you increasingly expensive clan any way you could. Good on her. Shes a strong and inteligent woman - at least she has the wherewithall to make the most of what is going on, while husband on teh side cant pull his head out of his narcissitic sorrow ong enough to do the same.

the show used to be really good, a lot of fun and sweet moments...now it has turned into something completely different. talk about money & fame...they change people.

I agree with the seperating. Or it will be something to the effect that Jon SUPRISINGLY got a great job offer in New York so he'll be living there 90% of the time to support the family.

Chou - YEP! Thats what I thought too! So obvious, these people are such media wh*res

I think Jon and Kate Plus 8 will be done but Kate will get a spin-off show about being a single mom with 8 young kids. She obviously doesn't mind doing the show.

michaeluvnikita 3 years 48 weeks

I have a feeling these children will hate kate.

You know what would help keep the public from judging either party? Not doing it publicly.

lickety split 3 years 48 weeks

they're separating, remaining friends, united in their love of their children, they will ask for the public to refrain from judging either party and respect that this is a difficult period for them and they hope to work through it. after this season ends they will file for divorce. if the other show with 6 kids takes off; buh-bye jon and kate. otherwise it will be kate and her 8 back for another round.
