John & Kate got a divorce.

They just filed the divorce papers today =/
article here

Did you guys think they would actually divorce? Or settle their differences?

I feel bad for the children, hopefully there will not be a really bad custody battle.

 

[Pear]

I don't watch any of that reality garbage. No offense to the people who do.

 

[Nightray]

Meh... who cares..

 

[Megamannt125]

Who is that?

 

[lilypad]

There was a topic on here about it before. It is this couple on TLC and Kate has been on tons of covers of magazines ... like one every week it seems.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

So that overrated morons got one?

OH WELL.

 

[Garrett x50 cal]

My sister was talking to me about it. I don't really care in the slightest.

 

[Miranda]

I knew they were going to get divorced. John will be so much better off without psycho Kate. I do feel bad for the kids though

 

[DrewAhoy]

about time! I've been hearing about their complaining for weeks.
that's what they get for having 8 children

It's not like they meant to have 8 kids.

At this point, I care about the kids, and only the kids. I was hoping that Jon and Kate would stay together, but I realized it just can't happen. But, I think that they're better off now. Hopefully there will be no more fighting and stuff.

I feel soooo bad for the kids... the parents are both multi-millionaires, they're already celebrities... not like they have it made for life, college paid for, a nice car waiting for them when they're 16, etc...

I thought that they would have tried to settle their differences for their kids, but I guess not.

@Darth: They aren't multi-millionaires. In fact, the only way they're making enough money is the show.

Exactly... and they're pretty big celebrities... you don't think the parents have gotten a couple mil from the show and other stuff?

 

[Thunder]

Geez, i hope the kids will do alright :x

That is what I was hoping for too .. because it is really rough on children to have divorced parents. It was so sad because on the show she was like, "We are just going to be another statistic" And what she meant by that is couples with multiples are more likely to get a divorce.

I also feel their motives have changed over the show. In the beginning they did it to document their life so they could look back on when the children were little and the cute/funny things they did. But now they both really don't have jobs and pretty much depend on this show for income so they are trapped to keep filming for the show.

Yes, but then they spend it on motorbikes and trips to Hawaii. XD

Once the show ends they'll both end up broke, with 8 kids, saying " . . . *censored.2.0*!"

 

[lilypad]

I don't think the spend their money on those trips/items. Most of that stuff is gifted to them for free so they can advertise it on the show.

^ Exactly. I'm scared for their kids, because If neither of the parents have money, guess where the kids have to go.

 

[DarthGohan1]

Or, the parents could get a job...

Jon already mentioned that the show isn't his job, but Kate feels that it's hers. She makes a lot of money from promos and photo shoots and the whatnot. She's a total psycho crazy *censored.4.0*, so it's good that he gets another chance at happiness.
