Report: Kourtney Kardashian Expecting A GirlJon Gosselin Admits "Poor Judgement," Denies Cheating

Rumors of a rift between Jon and Kate Gosselin - of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 - continue to swirl, with US magazine declaring on its latest cover that the dad of 8 was caught with another woman.
In February it was reported that Jon, 32, was spotted out partying with college students, and that he told one of them that he and Kate were getting a divorce. Now US reveals that he was recently seen leaving a club at 2am, seemingly drunk, with a female companion - and without his wedding ring.
Jon contacted US to respond to the cover story, saying that while he may have shown "poor judgement" the girl in question is just a friend.
"Like most people I have male and female friends and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV. However, being out with them late at night, showed poor judgement on my part. What makes me sick, is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position. My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them."
Jon doesn't deny that he stopped by the bar that night while Kate was out of town promoting her new book Eight Little Faces, but insists it was all entirely innocent. "A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car. Yes, I have female friends - but that is all she is."
While he denies the rumors of infidelity and divorce, the reality star dad has never claimed that family life is perfect. Earlier this year Jon told People, "Kate's career is taking off and I'm a bit lost. This struggle has definitely put some tension in our marriage."
Married for almost 10 years, Jon and Kate are parents to 8-year-old twins Cara and Mady and 4-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Alexis, Hannah, Leah and Joel.

I think Kate acts like a total witch. She yells at her family way too much and seems way too concerned about the money and appearances. I wouldn't be surprised if he cheated on her just to get a little love.
idk, i'd want to be with someon else too if i was w/kate. she treats him like one of the children!
she never let john talk on the chair she is always interupting him he can never say nothing
They have 8 children, the mom is out of town. Wouldn't it be normal for the dad to be with the children?
I know she has a helper who doesn't want to be on camera so they don't mention her.
If this is true i feel sorry for Cara,Madelyn,Alexis,Hannah,Aaden,Collin,Leah and Joel
Has anyone noticed how miserable Jon always looks? I don't think he's happy or in love with Kate. I think he feels stuck. She may love him, but she treats him like dirt. I can't imagine how she treats him off camera. The kids will be the ones to suffer. Divorce is on the horizon.
this is a comment in general about the show. I use to be a big fan of the show but now prefer to watch other things! I feel that they'd be a much happier family if they led a "normal" life like anyone else. I also think jon is much happier not to do the show at all but wife kate is the one who wants to continue it! (all to make a little more $)
ITS CALLED COLLEGE FUND MORON!
I'm not a fan of those types of shows to begin with. With consenting adults is one thing, but I'm not gung-ho on the idea of cameras following children around 24-7 for my viewing pleasure. Plus, it seems like a reward system for any couple or any one who has an eyebrow raising number of children in one go - "Had 6 kids or more at once? Sign here!"
Which is probably what my favourite mother of multiples, whom I've thankfully heard little of since February, was hoping for when she became pregnant with her bundle of babies.
As for the divorce rumours - it wouldn't surprise me. The few times I caught that show, Kate seemed like a shrill dictator. I know they do a lot in the editing room to grab more viewers, but some of it may have more than a few grains of truth.
I stopped watching the show because of how Kate treated Jon. She is a witch. All she cares about now is the money and she is making plenty of it, good luck to her. Jon half of that money is yours, get away from that witch. The kids will still have you in their life, you will always be a good father.
Glad to hear that Jon has moved on. She's a *itch!
i totally agree! yes she's mean to jon, but that's no reason to cheat. cheating is wrong no matter what! they should've tried working on the marriage first instead of going out and cheating. there aren't many people left with good morals anymore. all that selfishness is only hurting all their children. hopefully they'll give it another go......
Meanwhile wonder why we don't hear about the family that has their own show with more 18 kids..The eldest just had a baby of his own.. Nice and
quiet.. Take a lesson Jon don't hang out at bars...
If you are unhappy why not write your own book about living a overbearing
wife and 8 kids.. tell the world your side of the story..
To anonymous, he's the only one in the household WITH a job.
I used to watch the show on regular basis and enjoyed it. Yes, Kate could be abrasive, but taking care of 8 kids has got to push someone to their limits patience-wise. I caught a few episodes now that they are in their new huge home, and the whole dynamic has changed.....seems to sadly be a case of be careful what you wish for :( They have gained money & recognition, but at what cost??
antigoniem: He doesnt have a job either. He claims to be working at home for a family friend, but which job, flexible or not, gives you the chance to be always out on trips and outings with your family so regularly? His "job" is overseeing their speaking engagements. They earn $65,000 an episode, excluding speaking engagement fees (at $25,000 each) and love offerings
I think she's a good mother, and if thisman is cheating is a pig!
be a man!
when somebody has a family,it's really important have respect.
I don't care if she acts like a witch,she's his wife.
SHE DESERVES WORST MOTHER OF THE YEAR!
Cant stand these greedy people. Cant believe this trash is still on the air, and WHY the heck are they in magazines? Get rid of these losers.
