Why john and kate got divorced

Why did Prince William and Kate Middleton break up?

Kate became a frequent guest at official events royal family, she was constantly seen in the prince's company.

In April 2007, the first reports appeared that Kate and William broke up. They made a difficult decision during a joint vacation in the Swiss resort of Zermatt. Of course, there was no official comment. However, according to rumors, William did not pay enough attention to his girlfriend, and Kate, feeling that the guy was moving away more and more, wanted to control his every step, she poked him where he was and with whom.

The Gosselins are stars of the American reality show. The creators of the project were guided by the desire of the audience to watch from the screens real liferather than fictional stories. The calculation turned out to be correct. Several seasons of the TV project "John and Keith Plus 8" have already been released.

The show has not ended, but is still being filmed. Despite the divorce of the spouses. Now its name is "Keith plus 8". Why did John and Kate get divorced?

The story of the unusual arrival of an ordinary family in show business

The Gosselin family is an ordinary couple. She was not remarkable in anything until a certain moment. The wife was born into a family with five children. Received a medical degree. She worked as a nurse. At a picnic, the girl met John Gosselin. Young people met for two years, and then got married.

After a while, it became known that the girl could not get pregnant on her own. The reason is polycystic ovary disease. The couple could not leave everything as it is. Both had brothers and sisters. Young people wanted children. At first they talked about adoption. Then this thought was abandoned. The couple decided to take advantage of the possibilities of modern medicine. Artificial insemination has occurred.

In 2000, two twin girls were born. Kara Nicole and Madeleine Keith. There was no limit to happiness. But after a while, the couple realized that they still want children. They did not want to stop at these two. They turned to medicine again.

The procedure was successful. After five weeks, the pregnant woman is admitted to the hospital with ovaries. The ultrasound examination somewhat shocked the doctor. Kate carried six babies under her heart! Naturally, health professionals suggested doing a partial cleaning. Leave only two or three fruits. The couple refused: the risk of losing all the babies is too great. Since this has happened, let it remain as it is.

The birth of six children became known throughout the country. Babies were born with the participation of the most experienced doctors and obstetricians. After the significant event, the spouses were offered to become participants in a reality show. So a family project appeared on the screens.

The spouses raised their children, organized small and big holidays, solved problems, lived by the light of cameras. Naturally, the crack in their relationship did not go unnoticed. But the couple's divorce angered the audience. They couldn't just go their separate ways! The Russians were not so much interested in why Putin was divorced, but rather worried for what reason the Gosselin family broke up. Still would! After all, the spouses have eight children!

Versions of the collapse of the star family

The divorce of the American couple shocked the viewer. Here are several versions of the scandalous breakup:

John is tired of marriage and parenting... His life came to a standstill at twenty-five. He wants to start all over again. Try new sensations. Become a member of a new relationship. Photos with other women incriminating John appeared on the network. In the last joint broadcasts, viewers see Kate anxious and anxious. Her husband is somehow aloof, increasingly refuses to communicate with her and the children.

John is tired of shows and TV cameras... He invited his wife to stop. But she refused. I decided to continue life in full view of everyone. The man could not come to terms with this state of affairs. He filed for divorce. Yes, fame is addictive and does not let go for a long time. But the true reasons for the divorce were not named. Therefore, we will not lean towards any point of view. Let's just look at the facts. And let the readers draw their own conclusions.

The husband filed for divorce. Moreover, he initiated the division of jointly acquired property in court. We are talking about the ten million dollars that the couple earned through their participation in the project. John claims half. The question arises: why is the proportion of children not envisaged?

Kate has changed a lot during her participation in the project. And not only outwardly. The woman is invited to various programs. She is being interviewed. More than once, the famous mother appeared on the red carpet of film festivals. Her books are very popular. It is still watched by millions of TV viewers. And children have everything that one can only dream of. Toys, travel, babysitting. What mother in her right mind would give it all up and raise children alone?

Who is right and who is wrong is up to you.

“Jon & Kate Plus 8” is an American reality show dedicated to the life of an unusual American family, the Gosselin family, consisting of parents, Jon and Kate, and eight !!! kids: twin sisters and six twins. A fascinating story about the everyday life of the family drew the audience's attention both to the problems of education and to examples of solving various everyday problems. The project "Jon & Kate Plus 8" has become one of the highest-rated products of the TLC (Travel and Living Channel), the premiere of the fifth season gathered 9.8 million viewers on the screens.

The show began airing in September 2005 on Discovery Health and was titled "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins." The project became popular, it was extended for another year, and the name was changed to “Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later”. The show's ratings continued to climb, so Teochannel signed a contract with the Gossel couple for a third season. With the beginning of the third season, the project received its final name "Jon & Kate Plus 8", and its broadcast moved to the TLC channel. According to the agreement, the family had to be under the scrutiny of telephoto lenses 3-4 days a week, for which they received a substantial fee.

History
Kate's parents had 5 children, she has three sisters and a brother, and John was the middle of three sons.

They met on October 5, 1997 at a picnic, and on June 12, 1999 they got married. Infertility prompted the Gosselins to seek medical attention, and as a result of the examination, Kate was diagnosed with polycystic ovary disease. Nevertheless, thanks to the latest reproductive technologies, Kate became pregnant with twins, and on October 8, 2000, Cara Nicole was born, who was 6 minutes ahead of her sister Madelyn Kate.

The idea to have another child appeared in the family when Kate, who worked as a nurse in a maternity hospital, found out that a young mother of tender adolescence had abandoned her newly born child, and there was an opportunity to adopt him. The family did not make the decision to adopt this child, and they again turned to IVF. In November 2003, Kate became pregnant. Five weeks later, while hospitalized for ovarian hyperfunction, she underwent her first ultrasound. The family was going to be drained. The doctor counted 6 embryos and reasonably suggested selective removal. John and Kate flatly refused!

As a result, on May 10, 2004 in the city of Hershey, Pennsylvania at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center within 3 minutes, six babies were born as a result of a cesarean section ( 3 boys and 3 girls). This happened 10 weeks ahead of schedule, which is considered the norm for multiple births. Newborns were named as: Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, Aaden Jonathan, Collin Thomas, Leah Hope and Joel Kevin. A total of 75 doctors, nurses and other specialists were involved in the operation.

Since the children were born in Hershey, the hospital staff christened them "Hershey" s Kisses "(translate yourself :)))).
At the end of 2008, the family moved from their home in Elizabethtown to a larger residence in Lower Heidelberg Township.

About show production
In the house where the Gosselins moved, lighting equipment was installed on a permanent basis, which greatly simplified the shooting process, and also made it possible to exclude children's running around through wires and equipment. Usually filming took place 3 days a week, one of which was completely devoted to filming interviews where John and Kate, and sometimes the children, discussed recent events. At the very beginning of the project, an "interview corner" was allocated in the house, it was in the basement and was transformed from a playroom as needed. For the needs of the project, it was painted green, which made it stand out in the rest of the playroom. After the move, the interviews were also conducted in the basement, but the premises were unfinished and required renovation. At the end of the fourth season, John and Keith promised to get the place in order for the beginning of the fifth season.

Local legislation and authorities
Kate's desire to continue the show has been criticized as, according to authorities, the project may have been exploited. child labor (Americans :)))), as well as children could be subjected to psychological pressure. Attorney Gloria Allred argued that “Every state has legislation that protects the health, safety and well-being of child performers [...] Obviously, 8- and 5-year-old toddlers cannot protect themselves, so the state needs to make sure they safe in their workplace. "In the case of this show, their workplace is their home. In Pennsylvania, where the Gosselins lived, there are no clear laws regarding child appearances on reality television. However, Pennsylvania law allows children who have reached 7 years of age, to work in the entertainment industry, but only after receiving official permission and subject to certain guidelines, for example, children should under no circumstances work after 11:30 pm, or perform in rooms where alcohol is poured.

The objections of Kate and John were as follows: the children are happy, healthy, they are not in danger. John argued that in his opinion, children do not hide anything, and they say what they think. TLC released a statement that the channel "fully complies with all applicable laws, regulations and policies" in producing the show. The statement also said that “for a long period of time we have been engaged in a joint discussion and are providing all the necessary information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

Inspection by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Labor Law Compliance found that “The children in the show were spontaneous. However, it was the children that were the subject of the filming. DVDs and other items that were sold, were created with the participation of children. Lighting equipment was installed in the house specifically for the show, and in some episodes, hidden advertising of goods was noted. " In connection with the above, the fact that children worked on the show was considered proven, which means that the organizers of the show had to obtain permission to use child labor, which was not done in advance. During negotiations between the organizers of the show and the authorities, an agreement was reached :))), no fines were imposed, since no further violations of the law were expected.

Here is an example of one series, but I, unfortunately, did not find it with translation:

Beginning of the End
Who among us hasn’t sat on the toilet and imagined himself to be a superstar ?!

Life was hard, but compared to what started in spring 2009, it was good kind fairy tale! And then HELL began!

In April 2009, a scandal erupted in the press, it was reported that John had an affair. Kate also got into the scandalous chronicle, it was about a close relationship with the guard. The couple denied all rumors. Throughout the fifth episode, they both claimed that they were very attached to children, and categorically rejected all sorts of vile accusations, agreeing, however, that they did not know how their own relationship would develop in the future.

Since the life of the family was in sight, many millions of viewers experienced this family tragedy along with the heroes of the show.

Divorce
- Let me out of the car! Do you wanna crash? For God's sake! But without me!
- No, it's more fun together!

On June 22, 2009, the Pennsylvania court began divorce proceedings. John and Kate Grosselin's marriage lasted 10 years! The episode of the show, which announced the breakup, became the most watched episode of the series, with 10.6 million viewers. (What is it ?!) In an attempt to save the show on September 29, 2009, TLC made an official announcement that from November 2, 2009, the project from "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will be renamed Kate Plus 8, emphasizing that Kate is a divorced mother raising eight children. John Gosselin will appear on the show as planned, but much less frequently than he did before.

John was vehemently opposed to this, and on October 1, 2009, he posted on People.com his statement of intent to file a lawsuit against TLC to prevent the show from resuming as it "violates privacy." The channel was forced to suspend the format change, and on October 15, 2009, a counterclaim was filed by TLC against John, who repeatedly violated the contract by taking part in various television projects for free and for free. The channel estimated its losses at $ 30,000 ...

The final episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" aired on November 23, 2009, and the divorce proceedings ended on December 18, 2009.

On December 26, 2009, returning to his New York apartment, after spending Christmas with the children, John found that his apartment had been broken into and ransacked. The damage was estimated at $ 100,000.

After the show
To be honest, I was very interested in how the fate of each of the "halves" of this fragile organism, called a family, would develop? And it all became somehow gray and joyless. Kate has a little brighter, but not much brighter. Did they really want that ?!

Read if you're interested: Kate starred in a pilot talk show with Paula Dean Paula Deen, but somehow the producers did not work. Was a contestant in the 10th season of the TV show "Dancing with the Stars" paired with Tony Dovolani and. A great desire to stay in the project and win did not outweigh the widespread criticism of her dancing talent. She left the project on April 20, 2010.


TLC is currently planning to participate in several TV projects.

She has written 4 books:
* Multiple Blessings (November 1, 2008) co-authored with John - eventually sold about 500,000 copies - # 5 on the New York Bestseller List.
* Eight Little Faces (April 2009) - Also # 5 on the New York Bestseller List and also co-authored with John.
* I Just Want You to Know (April 12, 2010) - 10,000 sold.
* Love Is in the Mix (2011)

John appeared on a TLC episode of American Chopper, where he ordered a custom bike.

He gave permission for Entertainment Tonight's project to air a number of his interviews before and after the birth of the twins. Entertainment Tonight viewers saw a family quarrel in the air. Later, the court will confirm that John's contract with TLC prohibits him from appearing anywhere else on television. ...

On February 18, 2011, Us Magazine, a product of Us Weekly, reported that John was out of work for several months, sold the bike out of money, and eventually found a job as an assembler at a Pennsylvania solar installation company.

In custody

What was the show for this family, bad or good?

It's hard to say, rather the first ... It may have solved financial problems for a while, but an EXTREMELY hard life, combined with the almost constant presence of a film crew in the house, could not help but create a difficult psychological climate, no matter how cheerful the project participants were. I think that in 4 years of SUCH LIFE the lid can be ripped off from anyone!

Can they be blamed for having gone all out?

I don’t know, especially since they both, as far as I understand, regret what happened.

Can they be blamed for refusing to correct the pregnancy when they had the opportunity?

I don’t know again.

However, what happened happened. In this sad story, everyone suffered, but most of all I feel sorry for the children!
