Jon and Kate Announcement Spoiler: Divorce Confirmed

this is so sad.. there divorce is so public! through all this who's thinking about the kids! i feel bad for them because when they get older they will understand more of whats going on..and daddy and mommy dont seem so perfect afterall..

Their divorce is "public" because that is the choice they made!  Kate is going to milk this until it has no more life!  The show lost its charm soo long ago..It went from how to raise a big family to how much stuff can we get and they could care less about what anyone thought.  I know plenty of families that have 5,6 kids and live in a modest and very nice homes, and no they do not have a 1.3 million dollar home....she wanted to live the good life and it didn't matter at what cost!  She has no morals, she should have been treating her husband better but decided to focus on the show instead of her family.  She has no contact with family, what does that tell you....she claims the crew are friends, and her manager is a friend, okay let's see if they hang around once the money stops rolling in.  The one thing I have enjoyed is seeing her walk around with her tail between her legs, and Jon FINALLY got a back bone!  But now she makes wants us to believe she is a vicitm.  The real vicitim are those kids, they are stuck.....Jon already flew the coupe...

I am soooo sick of Kate!!!  She has been treating Jon like CRAP, i dont blame him at all for leaving.  I"m sad for the kids, especially since she is making this all public and STILL wants to do the show for the MONEY!  She has totally changed, her looks, her clothes, just as mean to the kids and Jon. 

It is soo easy to be the ones on the outside looking in to judge. Yes they put themselves out there, but i think its so easy for us to sit here and judge them b/c we are not in it. I bet every single one of y'all are just perfect and do everything perfect, and treat your spouses and friends lovely and wonderful 100 percent of the time, and are just the best people on earth, even though you bash other on here, but that is okay. they are celebrities, not people and they deserve it because they have a t.v show. They also deserve to be stalked by the pop b/c they are famous, its okay. If you are a celebrity and famous and have a show, you are no longer a human with rights and feelings, stalking and bashing is all allowed, feelings don't matter. Congrats to all you perfect people.

I myself have flaws, I myself haven't always treated my friends and love ones right, and while kate isn't perfect, and is far from it, she has helped me become a better person. Seeing that sometimes what we say and feel and act can hurt others, and how it can cause badship in our homes. So personally. THANK YOU Kate for not being perfect. While others find it fun to pick at you and your personality, I want to thank you for helping me see flaws in myself, which over time i hope I can fix. And thank god im not a celebrity. I have feelings, and don't think it is right to be stalked.

I am praying for her family and her children, and HER. Because they are all humans and not just celebrities. I will not pass judgement on her, i know she is not perfect, and sometimes downright rude and horrible to others. But i think she is learning, and it is a slow process to learn through. I pray that she can learn to better herself, and her family.

Kate used to annoy me initially, but over the seasons I have learned that she has some rare and great values inside of her. She's my age but certain interpretations she has of situations and feel for others she shows shadowed behind her rough ways have impressed me. I could very well understand why Jon married her and have no doubt he still loves and appreciates her. If not for the stress of such a busy life raising 8 kids that drive them crazy and the pressure of the publicity, I'm sure they would have worked this out. I see it too that Kate has changed a lot and become rougher over time, but I'm sure she has that intelligence to revert it, if she's given time and peace of mind, especially since she knows now that a lot of people don't appreciate the way she treats Jon and others. We all go in off-tangents and get carried away, but I'm sure Jon and Kate can bring it back, if they try. If they are the type of people I believe they are, I would expect them to say that they'll quit the show at least temporarily but not opt for divorce. I have certainly learned a lot watching their show, especially by the mistakes they make.

Jon & Kate - Just can't wait, met thier fate, it's never too late, remember your 1st date, love your mate, remember it's 8, Jon & Kate-turn from your hate, Ephesians 5:8

Husbands Love your wife as Christ Loved the Church and "Gave" Himself for Her. Wives Submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. -Stop -Wait -Reverse what some say is Fate!

Maybe Kate has been treating Jon like crap all along because this has been going on all along and he deserved it.  They both said it's been going on a long time.

Maybe that's why Kate was stressed and lashed out at Jon like she did.  She's obviously not crazy, there is a reason people behave like they do, think about it.

kate's an amazing mother and jon is a total CREEP for CHEATING on her and HIS KIDS!

I feel really bad for the children, the show used to be somewhat adorable.  Watching the children as they grow and develope.  My husband and I would watch, always commenting on how rude Kate was to Jon.  Ya know you push too much finally you push away the one person that ever truly loved you.  It looks to me that she has pushed away all of her family and true friends. I do not feel bad for Kate or Jon, but I do for the children. They never asked for this nor did they have a choice. I have not been watching the show, I refuse to.  I have been seeing bits and pieces on E.

I am interested in something, why did they even go to Hawaii to renew their vows, it was all a lie apparently.

Just a horrible situation, brought on by being in front of the whole world to see.  The show needs to end.

Wow it's going to be hard for the kids as i am going through a divorce as a kid but if jon is looking at new york apartments hes going to be away from the kids

I feel really bad for the two dogs. Kate never wanted them to begin with and if Jon is moving to the city.....he won't be able to take them. Jeez..Why did they have to add to their family when they knew their marriage was in trouble?

If they were truly religious folk, they would have cancelled their show and dedicated themselves to rebuilding their marriage. 

I have watched Kate belittle Jon through the years and it is no wonder he turned to someone else. That is what happens, he needed someone to make him feel normal and appreciated. If Kate wasn't going to do it, someone else was. I think he loves his children and had checked out of the whole public tv thing a long time ago. I am curious to see who pays child support/alimony, and how much....yikes! With all those kids and Kates expensive lifestyle now, it is going to cost a pretty penny. I liked the show a lot better when she used to wear sweats and t shirts around the house. Now its designer clothes, sunglasses, fake nails, hair and tans, and she pays everyone else to do what she as a mother should do. No wonder they call her by the babysitters name

People only know what the media knows and shares with the public. Who's to say Jon's latest cheating antics are his first? How do we know that Jon hasn't been practicing betrayal throughout the whole duration of their marriage, which would then fuel Kate's anger and resentment toward him from the beginning of the show? Maybe that's why she has always displayed such animosity and behaves like a beeaych in his presence? Maybe this is the straw that finally broke the camel's back. Just a thought... I don't care much for Kate's holier than thou attitude and the way she prances around like she's all that because in my opinion she's not modelesque quality or the star material she self-perceives. The kids are the stars and she somehow lost sight of that when the glam items started rolling in. So where is the childrens' cut of the riches? Will they ever see any of it in their lifetimes? Nah, not as long as momma thinks she's what it's all about and no one else is important. I don't blame Jon but you have to stop and think that maybe just maybe he's deserving of Kate's bashing him. You don't cheat on your entire family for cryin out loud, you divorce your wife's sorry arse first and then you go out and find someone who treats you better. And that's with or without paparazzi following you everywhere you go.

It seems that we need to stop second guessing what went wrong with their marriage.  They seem to have made a decision about where the relationship is going (down the toilet, apparently!) so now they need to pick up the pieces and figure out how to keep their children as mentally healthy as possible. 
I won't watch whatever is left of the show any more and will strive to NOT second guess who did what to damage their marriage.  What started out as a way to share their children with the world and chronicle their growing up has deteriorated into a sad situation.  I wish them both well as they reorganize their lives and hope that their children can survive unscathed.
