maybe Kate's pregnant!

But no matter what, Jon did reap some pretty nice benefits of it all.
Some reports are saying that because Jon quit his job in order to allow Kate to tour her books it technically makes her the sole breadwinner. Because of this she could be ordered to pay HIM alimony. If this happens I believe I just may vomit.
But he should be earning a share of the income that the show generates, right?
They both earn money from the show but she has an extra income from her book deals as well as her public speaking engagements.
I honestly don't think the show can be blamed for every single one of this family's problems. Some of them, sure, but most likely, Jon would have cheated with or without the show. At least now Kate has some money to fall back on.
I'm not blaming the show, either, however, they should have seen where their lives were changing and rectified it before it came to this. I agree with the sentiment to him and his cheating.
The public will grow bored of the whole issue and once things quiet down, and they always do, they'll soon be forgotten.
It's official, apparently.

I hope they can make the transition as easy as possible for their children.

To Jon and Kate. . . I don't regularly watch your show. I've seen bits and pieces as I channel surf, and sometimes I stop to watch just to see, well, who in the neighborhood you've caught on camera. I even thought I might make it on a few times. . . like the time I interrupted the kid's bike-riding lessons by driving my car into the camera's line of sight on a trip out of the neighborhood. I did, however, see the recent clip where you, Kate, lamented what's happening through your tears. According to my newspaper, so did ten million other people. You expressed confusion and said you didn't know what to do. I know you're smarter than that. . . you have to be. Here's what you need to do. . . and I believe you know it. . . pull the plug. Pull the plug and pull it now. The key to a redemptive and healthy resolution to this entire fiasco lies in your hands. From what I know, I think Jon will be right with you. Realize that the temptation will be to carry on so that you can accumulate fame and fortune. But as someone you and I both claim to know once said, "What does it profit a person to gain the whole world. . . and then lose his soul?". . . or, her husband and children? Please understand that I pass this on with a full knowledge of my own weakness and depravity. I trust you understand that I say this humbly. Keep it all plugged in and you will be one very rich and famous lady. You will also be facilitating a life under public scrutiny for your kids. They will not have a childhood. Keeping it plugged in will steal their childhood, steal your family, and promote a culture of celebrity-obsession gone wild. Pull the plug and pull it now. Kate, if you don't see what's happening all around you then you are a very confused woman who is so out of touch with reality that you need an intervention. If you do see it and you choose to keep it all plugged in, then you've exposed what's most important to you. Don't be like the rich young ruler who knew what he had to do, but walked away very, very sad. Jon and Kate, if you don't pull the plug, shame on you for what you're doing to your kids. Kate, don't let your definition of "multiple blessings" move from your 8 children. . . to the fame, fortune, and freebies that are now filling your life. If that's what you choose to do, you are exploiting your kids. If you don't pull the plug and pull it now, shame on you.
How pathetic. I cannot believe Jon actually used the word "excited" when talking about the separation. He's a child. The show should have been called "Kate Plus Nine" all these years.
