These reality television parents have been the talk of the tabloids ever since their marriage of 10 years hit a downward spiral. What began as innocent and inevitable arguments and disagreements that all couples experience, especially a couple that has 8 children, has become much more as Jon and Kate can’t quite seem to kiss and make up. What with the allegations of Jon cheating on Kate with a younger woman, and the increasing tension between the two on and off the air, unfortunately, a reconciliation doesn’t seem to be in the cards for them.
In fact, as of Monday the couple has made the decision to solidify their separation and file for divorce. While this decision will end their 10 year marriage, it apparently will not put an end to the filming of their show on TLC, Jon & Kate Plus Eight. The ex-couple have agreed to continue filming the show as they go through their divorce, but just do so on an individual basis. Kate will film separately from Jon and visa verse.
Personally, this decision seems a bit selfish and invasive, especially when their 8 adorable children are involved. Divorce is a very private and sensitive matter and in choosing to broadcast it for the world to critique and analyze, they are only asking for even more drama and problems to surface.
Sadly, i do have to admit that it will make for great television and I wouldn’t be surprised if the shows ratings skyrocket.
