RSSDivorce papers were reportedly filed for Jon and Kate Gosselin after weeks of build-up.
The couple, who star with their eight children in the reality TV series Jon & Kate Plus 8, were expected to make an announcement of their divorce during a special edition of the program scheduled for Monday night.
But court papers were reported filed in Pennsylvania during the day. The preliminary documents were filed in Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown on Monday afternoon. The couple had been married 10 years but recent charges of infidelity on both sides plagued their marriage in the public forum.
Their own relatives went on record saying the pair were at war and that production crews on the show had spoken out about the way their children were being treated on set. Kate Gosselin was seen taking time away with her children in North Carolina without Jon present, while Jon was seen spending a lonely Father’s Day with his kids and a trickle of fans at the couple’s Pennsylvania house – the day before the papers were filed.
Kate recently hit out at tabloids for their coverage of the marriage. In a statement to celeb weekly Life & Style she said: “Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first. I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation.”
