A little TLC did not go a long way for Jon and Kate Gosselin.
The reality-TV stars, long rumored to be on the rocks after 10 years of marriage, filed divorce papers Monday afternoon in Reading, Pa.
A “special announcement” is scheduled for tonight’s episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8—the sixth hour of what has proved to be an emotionally tense fifth season—but the court documents played spoiler instead.
“Parents of multiples have triple the divorce rate,” Kate said during the record-setting season premiere. “I was thinking we were going to beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore.”
The news comes several days after Jon was spotted apartment hunting in New York. He and Kate have been spending the majority of their time apart over the past month, with Jon sticking closer to their suburban Pennsylania home while Kate took the kids on vacation in North Carolina, after which each continued to play single-ish parent in front of the cameras.
Jon spent Father’s Day playing with his brood at the family home, where he told E! News he didn’t know where Kate was.
Nevertheless, he was in “a great mood,” according to a source.
The previous weekend, he and Kate didn’t bother to meet up to mark their 10th anniversary on June 12.
The increasingly estranged duo have 8-year-old twins, Cara and Madelyn, and 5-year-old sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel.

The vows they retook in that photo arent worth crap.
What city and state do they live in?
Jon & Kate are just handing out more material for 8 potential tell-all books one day.
AMEN!!
I feel sorry for those kids. I wonder how the whole visitation rights thing will work out? I mean if it’s 50/50, he needs to start some serious house hunting (if he hasn’t already done so.)
Now pull the plug on the show and go away.
The amount of children they had was beyond crazy. There was no time to nurture that relationship. Jon and Kate probably lost interest in each other a long time ago. Now they have wealth and fame and a reality show, but they also now have a broken home. The kids are the ones who will suffer in the long run and that sucks.
boy, getting that motorbike sure was important!
Oh, of course. I think it’s quite obvious by now that I’m a bit slow.
Well,that’s that.
Wow. I’m shocked. NOT.
*Taps foot impatiently* Do I have to say it?
Bullshit…publicity stunt!
A divorce article has already been posted in the other thread. Old news.
And I doubt it’s a publicity stunt. You don’t file divorce papers for no reason. From what I’ve been reading in various blogs, they’ve been more or less separated for months.
I think the publicity stunt part is scheduling your filing down to the hour and then repeatedly saying in the media that there’s a big announcement and you ‘have to watch’ to find out what it is. Whores.
