Twitter'Jon & Kate Plus 8' heading for divorce?
Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's docudrama Jon & Kate Plus 8, about their family life with two sets of multiples, may have trouble in paradise.
The couple appears to have serious marriage problems now that Jon has started spending increasing amounts of time away from home and partying with college girls, claims InTouchWeekly.com.
In a Feb. 6 incident, Jon was reportedly hanging out at Mimi's martini bar in Huntingdon, Penn. -- easily three hours away from the new home he and Kate moved into with their children -- when he met some girls from Juniata College who invited him to a house party.
"He walked in with two girls he met at Mimi's bar," a senior tells the magazine. "It was so cool."
Jon then proceeded to play beer pong and then follow the party with a nightcap at Memories Sports Bar & Grill, where he reportedly got drunker, flirted with the Juniata girls and told one, "We might be getting a divorce."
Star Magazine had earlier reported one witness' account:
"He was dirty dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths. I thought it was rather surprising for a father with his wife and so many kids at home to be acting like this. He was all over one girl, a long-haired blonde who's nearly 6 feet tall. He left with several of the girls, including her."
Check out pics of Jon's night of revelry that someone posted to Photobucket and a Livejournal pic of Jon with two girls at another bar near his home.
All the rumors have prompted Jon to issue the following statement through his rep:
"It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumors and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would. This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture --- such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context. As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple."
Jon and Kate have often bickered on camera, part of the everyday activities on the show that includes family outings, movie nights and dentist visits. The couple even traveled to Hawaii to renew their wedding vows. The latest episodes documented their move into a $1.3 million mansion and the purchase of two German Shepherd puppies.
Their children include 8-year-old twins Cara and Mady and 4-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel. The children were the result of fertility treatments.
The elder Gosselins have come under attack for exploiting their children and the blog Gosselins Without Pity offers rather snarky recaps of the show and a forum for Gosselin critics.
Check out Jon & Kate Plus 8 photos from the show and of their Hawaii trip to renew their wedding vows.
What do you think? Has this been a long time in coming or is it a surprise? Can Jon and Kate work it out?

Zap2it Twitter Talk 
I'm surprised they made this long without talks/rumors of a divorce. They don't seem happy at all; he seems miserable; she might be the most annoying woman on TV right now, in my opinion; so on and so forth. Of course, I hardly condone him hanging out with college girls while she takes care of a million children, but I'm hardly surprised about these rumors.
Maybe this is a clue they need to stop doing this show and concentrate on what really matters. Their marriage and their family.
wtf?!?!??! this story is so stupid. why would jon even go out with friends???? he's got 8 kids at home. this is ridiculous.
"Gosselins Without Pity does not just offer snarky recaps of the show. Their longtime mission is to expose and destroy Jon and Kate Gosselin. They are the ones putting out these rumors...nothing on their site is to be believed.
I wouldn't blame him if he did dump her, the way she treats him. There's only so much any person can take, and I'd be surprised if he hasn't reached his limit or will soon.
Good lord, open your eyes. It's not just rumors. http://tinyurl.com/azvrcw
I kind of saw this coming a while back. They are also bickering about petty things and sometimes Kate does not know when to zip it...even after Jon let's it go Kate will still take about the issue. Jon just never looks happy to me I think he wanted to be a father just not to that many kids. Plus Jon has made a comment several times about how Kate does not look like she did he they first met..that's always a sign of dissatisfaction. Also, I have noticed Kate and Jon's body language when they give their interviews during the show on the loveseat. They are always leaning away from each other and when they do touch or kiss it looks forced. I hope they can work it out for the kid's sake. They need to just suck it up.
So the guy goes out once and does some partying? Does that mean the end or did he get caught up in some 'fan attention'? Relax people. I guess that the 24 hour gossip news cycle hits rural Pennsylvania.
I'll believe they are getting a divorce when Jon or Kate says so. In Touch is only reporting the story because Star did so a few days ago. Neither of these sources are especially reliable. I've seen the "scandalous" photos of Jon and these girls he was supposedly partying with. All they look like are Jon posing (not at all inappropriately) with a couple of fans. How does that turn into cheating on Kate? This whole thing was probably blown out of proportion. Jon himself released a statement almost immediately after these rumors began saying just that. People should just leave Jon and Kate alone. While much of their personal life is displayed on their show, their marriage is their business. Whatever happens happens, but people should stop starting rumors like these. Regardless of what anyone thinks, I truly believe that Jon and Kate are great parents and that they truly love each other and their children. Oh, and by the way, Kate doesn't look like she did when they first met, she looks even better.
If they do, I will never watch the show again. If there even is a show. If they break up, I'll be pretty mad. Almost as mad as I was at Jason Mesnick of the Bachelor! Two Breakups in a month...that should play out well...
