Kate Gosselin's 'Today' show confession: She still loves Jon
Despite Jon Gosselin's serial blond-dating ways, Kate Gosselin admits that part of her still loves him.
"When I think back to the Jon that I knew, yes, suffice it to say," she tells Meredith Vieira on Monday's "Today" show.
The mother of twins and sextuplets still even wears her wedding ring, but it's not with any hope for reconciliation, but because her kids know it as her "married to Daddy" ring.
"I don't want to upset them. While I've been very real and as honest as I need to be, I don't want to shock them. I've walked slowly through this with them. As they've asked questions, I've answered them," she says, adding that she'll take the ring off "when the time is right."

In the meantime, Kate isn't thrilled with witnessing Jon's constant parade of girlfriends, Including 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who gave Kate her tummy tuck.
"I was shocked, but those things... to be very honest, that's his life and they don't affect me directly at this point," she says, but then admits, "It is hurtful. It's very hurtful. To be very honest, the most hurtful part is when his decisions directly affect our children. That's the hardest part for me."
Kate says that despite having "more peace" living alone with her eight kids in their home in Pennsylvania, she still often wakes up and feels "a lot like a failure" for her unsuccessful marriage.
Jon will get his say tonight on a one-hour special Monday night at 7 p.m. on E! after taping his interview in the morning.

What a publicity HO. I don't know what she's so upset about. With her new hairdo she should be able to score some serious dyke action!
I loved the prim little dark dress with the puffy sleeves, makes her look so innocent but wait, look down and you see her slut shoes.
She is such an actress and LIAR!

Are you kidding me? She accusses her brother and sister in law of making this a business for them? Is she serious? Hello pot, I'm kettle.
Kate's brother didn't even want to appear on camera, the producers said and acknowledged that. Before Kate opens her pie trap and lets more lies out, she needs to know what has already been said that contradicts her. They need to just go away.
Seriously... who the hell is this?! How is she a "celebrity"????!!!!!!
If I were able to post pics, I'd put that "Look at me! I'm an Attention Wh*re!" pic right here.
Poor, miserable woman. In such denial she can't even see her husband ran screaming from her because she's obsessed with being on tv and controlling everything around her. She's so obsessed she can't see how being on tv is damaging her children as well. No wonder Jon has gone 180 degrees in the other direction. He went from hen pecked husband to party boy in a split second and nobody should be surprised.
Please go away, NOW!
I agree! Kate Gosselin...just disappear you douchebag! What a work of art and publicity hound...oh poor her! PLEASE! Thanks again TLC! Now FOX is doing the same thing with that Slutizen-Suleman dope.
OMG this lady and her crocodile tears makes me wanna gag!!!!
LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
