VIDEO: 'Jon & Kate Plus 8's' Kate Gosselin tells Larry King kids are 'unaware' of the rumors
Kate Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" continued her talk show circuit with "Larry King Live" Thursday night to promote her book "Eight Little Faces" and to address the tabloid rumors of her husband Jon Gosselin cheating on her with 23-year-old schoolteacher Deanna Hummel.
She reiterates some of the same things that she mentioned earlier in the day on the "Today" show: the tabloid attention comes from being on a reality show, she and Jon are working on the situation "privately" and that they're focusing on their kids.
Speaking of which, we finally learn that so far, the kids remain ignorant of the rampant rumors that are out there, which is a relief.
"They attend a very quiet, private school where, you know, people aren't paying attention to that," says Kate. "They're investing their time in their kids' education and activities. And, no, they are, at this point unaware. But they are very aware that we love them very much."
The twins, Cara and Maddy will turn 9 soon, while the sextuplets -- Alexis, Leah, Aaden, Colin, Hannah and Joel -- are actually turning 5 on Sunday, Mother's Day.
The mama Gosselin also has choice words about her husband: "Jon is having difficult times realizing that, you know, you can't go to the grocery store without people whipping out their cell phones, calling everyone they know and taking pictures of you. He is dealing very poorly with it."
CNN also reports that Gosselin earns an estimated $50,000-$75,000 per episode.
Check out Kate Gosselin's full interview:
How do you think Kate handled the interview? How long do you think until the kids will find out what's going on? Will you watch when the show returns for its fifth season Monday May 25th?

She is just a *****!!
I feel Kate is handling all the pressure of raising 8 kids amazing and I know being married and I also having 8 kids realize it is challenging on a marriage.I admire her and Jon I use to feel kids always came first I made the mistake putting my husband second which ended in a divorce now I am happily remarried with 8 kids some foster children I know have learned to balance my husbands needs and my needs and my childrens needs I use to feel I did not matter only my children I see Kate making that same mistake I once made she does matter and so does Jons needs I hope they can start putting there needs first by doing this they well realize they are better parents because no child needs to come from a divorce a child needs to see husaband and wife come first making an amazing parents for the children. I wish I could find away to p*** this advice to Kate since I have been there.
ditto chris
When ever she opens her mouth, I cringe.
Kate is so condesending and arrogant, its painful. A marriage license does not give one spouse the right to belittle, berate, and emasculate the other.
Jon, if finding a little sugar on the side keeps you sane, go for it. I can't imagine there is any love left in this marriage, just a marriage of convience.
As a nurse myself for many years, I have learned quite a bit about human behavior. I believe the current crisis in their marriage was inevitable. Kate's relentless efforts to control her husband combined with her constant criticism and demeaning manner is more than any person should endure.I don't condone Jon's behavior, but he is human and does not have the advantage of "business trips" to get away on occasion as does Kate. It is clear that the money and fame has gone to Kate's head, and she does not want to give it up. If she really just wanted to do***ent life for her children by "writing things down", she could have just created scrapbooks at home for the children like the rest of the world does. She didn't need to write books and tour the country promoting them. They are not a normal family, and the repercussions of their decisions will effect the children for the rest of their lives. The best thing to do if they really care about the kids is to end the show, and return to their private family life and some degree of normality. Perhaps only then, their marriage has a chance of being saved and the kids will have both parents to raise them.
great job on the larry king interview!!!!

I think Jon deserves better than Kate. Not sure about the 23 yr old teacher. That's awful young. But he deserves a nice woman who doesn't bring him down!
Dear Kate, I too think you're a good Mom. ---- Except for the role modeling you provide for your children when it comes to being a loving, respectful spouse. Don't you realize that they too will eventually treat Jon like a buffoon and an idiot--just as you do? Your show just makes me sad now. I used to love to watch it for the kids. Now, I can't watch it because of you-- and how everything has become all about you and how much you can put Jon down. From all appearances you seem disgusted by and embar***ed by and sick of Jon. Don't kid yourself--you do have bright kids. There's no way your behavior escapes them. Please, for the sake of the kids, put your life and your family back in perspective. It really isn't all about the money. You are not the only large family out there trying to make it. Others make it very well with much less money, things, outings, vacations, travel, trucks, land, square feet in their homes. Why? Because of a deep and abiding love for each other as spouses and parents--which means treating each other with dignity and respect. I am from a family of 9. Lived all our lives in a 3 bedroom house with one bathroom. Guess what? We never saw either parent treat each other as you do. There are enough things in life that can make a child very insecure. Why add to the mix? Regarding your absence for the book tours--if you have indeed written these books for your children--why are AWAY from them and SELLING them???? Not so personal after all. Better you should be home with them and showing them how much they mean to you in person while allowing them the gift of a united and loving Mom and Dad. Especially a Mom who doesn't take so much glee in putting her husband down. This is surely a sign of your feelings of inadequacy. It's easier to project your feelings onto Jon than to take ownership of your mean behavior. In all sincerity, if you're going to save your family-never mind the marriage--Jon deserves for you to treat him humanely. Good luck with that. I won't know--I cannot in good faith watch your masochistic behavior anymore. I worry too much about the kids. Why do you have such a huge chip on your shoulder??
I think that the Gosselins are a strong family and they will get threw all this mess. Kate is a strong woman and she will work with jon to keep their family together.
