Jon & Kate Plus 8: Just Kate + 8?

For young families everywhere, Jon & Kate Plus 8 encompassed daily reminders of what a large-but-perfect family looked like. Unfortunately, what was happening behind the scenes was anything but loving. With constant bickering and the stress of raising so many babies, their marriage was on the rocks for some time before this episode.

In an emotional episode, both Jon and Kate sat down and announced that they were deciding to separate. With a unique approach to custody, they also chose to have the children stay in the home, rotating out the parents when it was time for visitation. Kate’s obvious turmoil and Jon’s seemingly numb response caused media speculation for months.
