This fits in with the not-so-conspiracy stories spun over at Gosselins Without Pity and isn’t terribly shocking, unless you’re a fan of the show. Kate Gosselin in her divorce papers, filed Monday, that she and husband Jon have been living “separate and apart” for at least two years. Their “reality” show wasn’t exactly reflecting reality for the last few seasons, it would seem. The court documents state the 10-year marriage is “irretrievably broken.” She also says the couple hasn’t been able to reach an agreement on how to divide their things, such as their McMansion in Western Pennsylvania. Their show portrays quite a different picture - a happy couple who just renewed their vows in Hawaii last year. “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ is still in production, in its fifth season. The couple receive a reported $75,000 per episode from TLC.
UPDATE: TMZ claims this is legal wrangling, that by saying Kate considered the marriage over for two years, the divorce can move more quickly. According to the site, Kate selected both the “irretrievably broken” box and the “apart for two years” box because Jon may not agree that the marriage is irretrievably broken. If that’s the case she has to wait the two years. So by checking both boxes, Kate is hedging her bets.
Other sites allege that it’s for financial reasons, that by checking the two year box, Jon wouldn’t have access to any of her assets earned during that time.
Ultimately, she would have to prove to the judge when she considered herself separate from Jon.
