Jon & Kate Spend Time Apart
Filed under: The Gosselins
The countdown to their divorce is on, and we would not be surprised if an announcement came very shortly. Sad!
According to reports, Jon and Kate Gosselin have decided to take some time away from each other.
On the day of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 season premiere earlier this week, Memorial Day, Jon was spotted drinking a beer with two ladies at Front Street Bar & Grill in Newburgh, New York.
Kate was seen with the kids and bodyguard getting off a ferry on Bald Head Island, North Carolina.
Kate may be the villain, but at least she's spending time with the kids!
Come on, Jon!
There's enough kids to go around!

Kate might be a shrew but Jon is acting like a dink and needs to grow up.
:( how sad! you would think jon would have learned by now that drinking with girls doesn't end up too well for him..maybe he should be spending time with his 8 kids instead…
that is so true , kate may be a demanding bitch but she at least spends time with the kids , not like jon …. i think it's true what kate said about jon , that he kind of regrets so many children .
kate plus 8 = hate
these ppl are just hurting the children trying to go for drama & hate
they need to be replaced with octomom as a show
octomom is far more caring with her children & her show would be a fresh update from the hate
love octo mel too
aww thats ashame… yeah i love kate.. regardless of wether or not i'd be able to live with her, remember jon did say till death do we part!
Jon is proving to everyone that he doesn't care about his family. I still can't believe how cold he was being on Monday night's show…it was like he had no emotions. Weird-o
She doesn't have all the kids with her. Some of them must be with Jon, maybe in school and the others she pulled out for a few days.
Has anyone ever thought that maybe Kate is now trying to spend more time with her kids because she knows the cameras are on her all the time now? fuck, you people didn't listen to the premier when she said herself she's never around.
WHAT EVER THEY REALLY NEED TO BE APART ANY WAY . I MEAN SHE TREATS THAT GUY LIKE SHIT. I WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT HER ASS. MY KIDS ARE MY ONLY BUSINESS. FUCK HER.
So sad.
Poor kids.
Every time I look in a magazine it's Jon with beer and a bitch, and Kate with the kids. It's like Come on Jon, where the kids?
They are both idiots. Of course Jon is acting out now, since he clearly has no interest in maintaining his marriage.
His new car is a 2 seater, and none of his kids are big enough for the front seat. Cara is his favorite, maybe he'll just take her along.
Jon is an asshole. While's out boozing with little sluts Kate's the one taking of the kids!! He needs to grow up and start putting his family first!
Shes spending time with the kids because its out in public, When shes out doing her stupid book tour, where the hell do you think the kids are? At home with Jon. Again, pushing your moral agenda on people- isn't that what 90% of your other postings are complaining about? You are a hypocrite!
Had you watched the show you would've seen Kate say that Jon spent 2 months alone with the kids while Kate was out whoring her book and making accusations at Jon on national TV.
Even the world's greatest, most perfect father would need some time off after 2 months alone with 8 kids. Give him a break, it's not like he abandoned them. He did leave them with their mother (as much of a bitch as she is it's not like she is abusive or anything)
FUCK THAT KATE BITCH. SHE NEEDS TO GET A FREAKING LOBOTOMY! BITCH IS A NUTBAG!!!
I get that she might be a bit of a nag or whatever but her husband cheated on her with some college girl I think I would be about done myself. I dont get how she got villianized in this picture.
I personally have dealt with cheaters, Lord knows I have. Only one of them have "hit" me. He gave me a black eye, he broke my nose and I saw "stars". He is loooong gone now. My only scar is the hump in my nose. Yet I see things how they really are: I truly think that SHE - Kate, is the miserable, controlling, moody, aggressive one in this situation.
so sad
Re: karmin –
Thank god there is another smart person on here. She even said she was gone so much her kids keep calling her by their baby sitter's name. Then she SELFISHLY said "it hurts ME when they do that but I have to leave sometimes" well no you don't HAVE to leave. And how do you think the kids feel having their mom gone all the time?
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT!!!
ANYWAY, THIS KATE BITCH IS A FUCKING NUTBAG!!!
whether for publicity or for real - this whole show (and situation) is pathetic. I can see doing one season to make some money for your ridiculously large family, but after that you are basically whoring out your kids for cash. It's just wrong.
Oh barf! Kate is ONLY spending time with her kids because she needs footage for the show. It's worth $75000+++ to her to be "spotted" with them!
Who cares if he's out… She was reportdely away from the kids for 23 days out of one month..and she said the kids have called her by the babysitters name. He said he didn't want to do the show anymore on last season's finale and she said we'll see. Seems Kate gets her way as usual. And since when did she ever care about fashion and make-up?? Did anyone catch her starting to cry on the show and then saying "I dont want to ruin my make-up".. They need to stop the show..it's awfully sad..
What made you suddenly decide that Jon is the bad guy? You hated Kate a week ago. I don't care either way but why do you go back and forth so often?
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kate doesn't LET Jon take the kids on his own. She's such a fucking control freak martyr.
Hey people listen up-
NO one's cheating- their marriage has been over for months so technically neither one is cheating. The "cheating" didnt cause the split. You think if they were together he would even be at a party in the first place? NO.
Re: canuckistani – I could not have said it better myself
Regardless of how anyone feels about Jon and Kate bottom like is this is affecting at least 10 peoples lives (8 of which are innocent in all of t his). Very sad.
The few episodes I've watched show Jon ignoring the children and Kate asking him for his help. Kate is a bitch to him because he doesn't do anything without her asking or yelling at him to help out. Jon is douchbag!
has it occured to anyone that kate is probably not letting him spend time with the kids? i'm sure she's trying to keep them away from him as much as possible so she can continue to act like she's the one doing all the work.
What hte hell, I call bull shit. I live in the area and since when has there ever been paparazzi in Newburgh????
My in-laws have a place on Bald Head Island… I've ridden that ferry numerous times. If she was staying there, then she or the television network is shelling out some cash.
Re: shanghai84 – Kate is not legally allowed to keep Jon away from his kids. They are not divorced or even separated. There is no custody agreement. At this point both parents have equal rights. Apparently he is choosing to ditch them. He's a little young for a mid-life crisis, but it looks like that's what's happeneng. he's making a fool out of himself!!!!!!!!
is this working
maybe just maybe since they are separated (on the way to divorce) that they now have to "share" the time with the kids. don't for a moment think that kate is the innocent one here. who is the one taking care of the kids while they go to school and she's off hawking her ridiculous books and going to speaking engagements talking about her wonderful family. both are going to dry up soon if not already. it's scam baby! a scam! just like their "reality" show.
Jon strikes me as a man who took on the role of husband and father a little bit too son. It is obvious that he is now acting out by being photographed drinking and going to college parties and clubs. The more Kate is seen with their children alone the more she appears to the single mom who's doing it all on her own ( hint hint the premise for Kate Plus 8 perhaps???) I just think that if this couple really cared about the well-being of their children they would stop filming their show, stop with the books and the merchandise and just focus on the children.
I can't believe most sources are villianizing KATE! HE CHEATED! (allegedly)…He cheated on her and his kids. What an awful decision!!
Sure she may be a super bitch and he probably wants to get the hell away from her, but you deal with it and get out of the marriage… Affairs are never justifiable. Period.
Typical…. the guy gets celebrated and the woman chastised and 'blamed'.
Wow this story just keeps getting better and better!!! Even though Kate is a total psycho bitch and I understand jon's predicament…l'm still hoping they get back together!! They have 8 kids!! Those kids need good parents!
I've read that jon is pissed becuase kate was traveling and he had to stay at home with HIS kids. why is he complaining about doing what a father is supposed to do? DOUCHnozzle!
ughhh what a jackass he is … i don't care if he spends time away… or wants to go out for a beer or to with whoever but its your kids fucking birthday .. own up and be a father
Everybodys saying jon doesnt spend any time with the kids? Umm didnt anyone watch this seasons first episode? Kate said herself that Jon's always home alone with the kids while shes out promoting her shitty books..Fuck kate..she is a shrew and a bitch. I dont blame jon.
Re: marlow – what are u talking about .. did you even watch the show on
Monday … every last one was there including all the rest of the kids they invited… do your homework
Re: monkeyjena – I hope your future husband .. or boyfriend treats you like shit
That's what I hate about all this, Jon is the "victim" but he cheats on his wife, doesn't spend time with his kids, gets to just decide to have weekends "off", and goes drinking during the day with 2 other women??? I don't understand how anyone feels bad for HIM in this situation.
I completely agree with Tosh20…. I live in the area and I never see paparazzi anywhere. And why the hell would Jon be in Newburgh??? At Front Street??? Sooo weird.
Re: Arshe – agreed
Oh please, why shouldn't Kate go on her book tour? She had been home with the kids for at least 5 yrs. You are supposed to encourage your spouse, not complain that you have to watch your own fucking kids. Bottom line is, their is no excuse for his cheating and for him to humiliate and continue to humiliate those children that now have to go to school and hear about what a douche he is.
Re: BigB0882 – Its because he is a lonely and pathetic hypocrite
Re: Kittencaboodle – actually, they are seperated.
She is carrying a Meijer "green" grocery bag. She must have gone while here in Michigan.
Re: Tash20 – since tlc and kate hired them to be there.
Kate has 2 bodyguards and 1 nanny. She must be "exhausted".
Jon spends more time with the kids so he's allowed to go out. I'm sure Kate didn't "invite" him so he really couldn't go.
Re: Iheart420 –
Like you said, the FEW episodes you've seen. Try watching more you'll realize she is just an uptight, naggy bitch. Jon is just more laid back. He's okay with letting them get dirty and be kids, she wants to treat them like little dolls and keep them spotless at all times.
Re: harnold9 – I agree and that's why this show should stop.
Re: dreamygrl – It was not their birthday. He was with them on the birthday and the party a week later. Kate was tanning.
Re: mickyo – Men are the elite power in this world…of course he can do whatever he wants. its stupid
Re: And another thing – Yep!!!
He's a flipping mid life crisis dork. Fuck him and that lopsided retard smile of him.
NO MAN WANTS TO BE AROUND A BYTCH! None the less be married to one. You idiots on here acting like you have no clue as to how Jon can cheat on "po ole great mom sweet fun loving" kate??? Pssssh! She's a fuking shrewd aggressive BYTCH and men do not like being around bytches!
My husband and I watch the show; even he was like, " I hope they work this out." Like to watch some of their home movies from when they were first dating, their first wedding, and honeymoon and to see them now it just made Monday's premiere so sad. They started off really happy and I would think it would be worth going to marriage counseling to sort out.
Kate obviously married Jon b/c he was Asian and thought she could get away with treating him like crap. Well Looks like Mr. Asian Jon aint playing that shyt and is teaching the braod a lesson that he is NOT afraid to dump her or leave her for someone else. LOL.
No white man or black man would put up with kate gosselin as a wife. She acts like that with Jon b/c she believes he's a soft Asian man (liek they are portrayed).
Re: spartan_girl03 – in marriage you want a partner and 'some' men get really funny about their wives being the alpha personalities or the bread winners. If those are Jon's hang ups then he needs to get help for that and not take it out on Kate.
Kate is out there trying to make that money, because she knows that the show will not last forever and they still have more than a decade of expenses to cover for their children.
There is nothing wrong with her going on book tours in order to provide for the family. I think it is a major double standard to rag on kate for that and not other athletes or celebs that away from home for longer periods of time.
Re: marlow – It was memorials day. No school for the kiddies
Re: karmin – She was working to make money. When the show is over they have to still live.
So what she had a book tour.
Do you feel that actors are bad parents because they spend as long as 6 months on set? Do you think athletes are bag parents because they spend half the year on the road?
Re: Blk Beauty – Not ALL white woman. Most of us cannot stand her. The ones who love her post under different names because I think there are only 3 of her delusional fans left!
Re: Blk Beauty – Either do woman, children, or dogs.
Re: RoSull – Do actors and sports stars pimp their kids??? NO, they have their own talents and they earn money with their talents. Kate's only talent is having the ugliest and most ridiculed hairstyle in years. Can you earn money as a Joke??
I never thought she was that bad. I always thought she yelled and bitched at him bc he wasn't pulling his weight. He was like a 9th child.
Re: Cat1220 – i couldn't agree more with you!
Re: Cat1220 – He spends most of his time with the kids. The kids are now calling Kate by the babysitters name. Kate has been having a relationship with her bodyguard for months but that's okay because she's "working."
Jon is the better of the two evils.
Re: RoSull – i agree with you , she's working and and yeah she might go and leave for 20 or more days of the month … but why is jon complaining about taking care of the kids for that long .she did it for years . i hope they work things out for the kids. and i don't see anyhting wrong with her promoting her books and getting money for her kids future.
Perez, I think you are cool but your facts are wrong! That picture of Jon was taken on Monday and the other picture with Kate and the kids was taken yesterday!!!!
Jon was always like a piece of wet lettuce. It's like Kate needed to be that way with him because he's so wishy washy. How nice that he's out drinking beer with the girls. I always liked Jon and felt sorta sorry for him in a way when Kate would snap at him, but not so much anymore. HE made his own bed. He needs to get the hell out of this mid life crisis and step up and be a man and father. Vows are FOREVER. It's too easy to walk away nowadays. I wonder if they've really even tried to fix their problems.
Perez who do you think is with the children the 20 something days a month Kate is on her speaking/book signing tours?
Re: Blk Beauty –
you…. are an idiot.
Give me a break Perez. She wasn't spending time with her kids when she was flying all over the place to promote her book and do interviews while Jon was staying at home with the kids. Don't go making a Saint of her. Just because they haven't mentioned it doesn't mean these people haven't been separated in the true sense of the word. His marriage is over, so Jon really doesn't care if people he don't know get upset that he's sitting with women. NO parent needs to be with their kids 24/7, they deserve to have a life too. Hell I don't know any parent who are NEVER away from their kids whether they have one or ten. People are too fickle one minute they're on this side; the next minute the next.
i believe kates trying to make up for not being with her kids and the kids calling her there nanny's name cause she's off promoting books which she says she doesn't care if they sell even 1 copy, while jon quit his job to stay home with the kids so she could promote her books.
Re: karmin – AGREED!! SHE EVEN SAID THE KIDS CALLED HER BY THEIR NANNY'S NAME. AND JON QUIT HIS JOB TO STAY HOME WITH THE KIDS WHILE SHE PROMOTES HER BOOKS.
HELLO..JON!! LoL thats how Kate speaks to Jon, sad hope he finds someone nice. He must be thinking, Who is that man with my family? Steve and Kate are so together wake up and let the TLC viewers know Kate had you sign a contract to be on the show and fool the viewers she was over Jon but not the money. So a new book, cooking book….on the road again just cant wait to get on the road again…hahaha oh what a train wreck!!!
geez u'd think he would hav learned his lesson after all this…but guess not. I think kate is right for acting like a bitch towards him…shit i would too. u leave me at home to take care of 8 kids plus the pets so he could go out and have all the fun! fuk no buddy!!!
thats my hometown!
Perez, don't be so naive. She openly admitted on the show that he's the one home with the kids while she's out and about. Plus, how do you know he was given a choice about whether he could be with the kids? Seriously, I used to love this show, b/c I knew I could watch it with my own kids. Now, it's on the forbidden list b/c I don't want my children growing up thinking that the way Kate treats people is the proper way to behave. I feel so sad for those children.
My goodness. I've always been on Jon's side. Kate is a total she-devil and their reported $10 million dollar divorce would be worth every penny!!! Though we should think of the kids…
you can't control depression. He sure seemed depressed Monday night.
I don't blame him for wanting some time to himself, regardless of how much he loves his kids. I love my kids a lot and I still need some time away. Get your R & R Jon and decide your future!!
Re: obbie doobie! – you are flat out stupid if you actually think kate is the one who is usually home with the kids. she's not, jon is. she's gone all the time promoting her books and who do you think is at home with the kids when she's gone? jon.
Re: RoSull – most actors and athletes have their kids around even when they are are traveling or are on set, so your argument doesn't really fly.
Re: Blk Beauty – lmao you know. i live in a dominately black neighborhood (i'm white) and most of the black guys i know prefer white women because they say black women are exactly how you are claiming white women are. there are women (and men) in every race that act that way, so stop talking your racist bullshit.
Re: Blk Beauty – Thanks for the profound enlightenment on the topic of race. The world needs more people like you. Ha.
I kind of saw that he regretted so much children in the first season of the show.
I'd like to see Jon & Kate plus their Dates this season on TLC. Forget the kids.
im actually going to bald head island where kate and most of the kids are this weekend…so hopefully ill see them!!!
I'm sure Jon spends plenty of time with his children. Everyone can get a break every now and again.
UM.. i thought everyone watched this show to see super cute hapa kids. soo can we please leave their parents alone so they can try to take care of their kids. Honestly, divorces happen a LOT.. and perez should just try to help em out by not postin this just clearly exploitative story.
Umm just because kate is spotted with the kids one time doesn't mean anything!!! oh wait is her book tour over now? So now she has time for her kids??? And aren't the kids supposed to be in school?
Jon is being a complete douche about it all. He doesn't want anything to do with his children half the time. He needs to grow the fuck up and be there for his children.
Kudos to Kate for being the better parent, whether she's a bitch or not.
Re: Blk Beauty –
And I know A LOT of BITTERASS black women!! I am Pro Jon and I am a white woman!!! So stop being a racist ass bitch!!
JON IS ONE OF THOSE SPINELESS WEASLES THAT PLAYS THE MARTYR ALL THE TIME. SHE WINDS UP LOOKING LIKE THE VILLAIN BECAUSE SHE GETS TIRED OF ALWAYS HAVING TO ASK/TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.
.
WAH WAH OH MY WIFE IS SO MEAN AND DEMANDING WAH WAH POOR ME.
.
WOMEN DON'T LIKE BEING NAGS AND BEING WITH ONE OF THOSE PANTYWAIST WEASLE ASSHOLES THAT PLAYS THE POOR VICTIM ALL THE TIME COMPLETELY SUCKS!!
.
Re: cdv – When kate is out doing her book tour, the BABYSITTER is at home with the kids. Jon was caught out at 2am at a bar when Kate was in CA with the book tour. The child called Kate the BABYSITTER'S name by accident when Kate returned, NOT DADDY. Daddy is letting young women drive his 2 seater sports car.
::these ppl are just hurting the children trying to go for drama & hate
they need to be replaced with octomom as a show::
Actually, because OctoMom tried to build a reality show around her multiples, she's being sued by the state of California for child exploitation which would have happened to Jon and Kate years ago if they lived in NY or CA where laws appropriately protect children and allow them to have the respect and privacy they deserve.
