Default Gosselin Divorce Papers Filed

http://www.people.com/people/article...286254,00.html

After months of speculation, the 10-year marriage of Jon & Kate Plus Eight's stars Kate and Jon Gosselin appears to be coming to an end, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE.

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed in Pennsylvania Monday afternoon.

Fans who have watched the couple's popular TLC show – or read the voluminous coverage of the Gosselin marriage in the press – will hardly be surprised: The duo had long maintained a tense relationship, with Jon recently telling PEOPLE he wanted a less high-profile life, while Kate appeared to remain committed to their TV career.

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."

TLC promotions of the show are promising a major announcement about the family in Monday night's episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight.

Ugh.

I used to watch this show when the kids were little but haven't been able to stomach it over the past year or so. Somewhere along the line, it stopped being about two parents raising eight children and it became about Kate Gosselin and her ridiculous "needs". I'm sorry, but there are a lot of large families in the world who are not making serious money an episode and getting so much stuff donated to them. She and Jon have some really adorable children who still stand a chance of becoming well-adjusted adults (provided poor Mady is able to deal with the damage that's clearly already been done), but if they don't get out of the national spotlight soon, those kids are screwed. If nothing else, Kate should not be doing cover stories for ANY magazines, tabloid or not. I know she can't singlehandedly stop the paparazzi but she can negate the amount of attention by doing everything she can to ignore it, for the sake of her children. They should have a good chunk of change stored up by now, as she's not raising a literal army. They're kids, they shouldn't have to work for their supper and that is essentially what is going on. It needs to stop now.

3. Check out their personal Web site and the contents of Kate's book. I find it fascinating that something like every fifth word in the text is "God," and they talk extensively about their church and the power of prayer and link a bunch of Christian music. But this part of their lives almost never comes up on the show -- except for the occasional religious symbol in the background. (Apparently there's at least one church-themed episode, but I have yet to see it.) I have zero problem with their religious beliefs and their willingness to share with others. It makes me curious, though, if TLC asks them to tone it down and/or edits out the God talk, or if Jon and Kate choose not to bring it up during their interviews.

Ugh. It kind of sucks that it's come to this. The poor kids will be so confused. I used to watched the show when they were little, but it's too depressing/annoying.

The two of them exploited their kids for their own gain.....

If they cared about their kids or the marriage, they would have stopped filming to try to work things out.

They didn't therefore they are egotistical money hounds.

They did this to themselves.

And because Kate is such a power-hungry Biatch, I'm sure she'll attempt for a spin-off....

I'd be happy never having to hear about the Gosselins or Speidi ever again.
