It’s official. Jon and Kate Gosselin will announce on Monday that they are divorcing, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.Really a sad deal, but I've seen it coming for some time.
The source says that Kate recently met with a divorce lawyer. Another source told RadarOnline.com that the couple had previously agreed to separate by July 15.
But that timetable has now been pushed forward.
TLC released video earlier Thursday teasing that a major announcement was coming. And while many have speculated that it centered on the couple splitting up, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the marriage is over and Jon will file divorce papers next week.
The stars of Jon & Kate Plus 8 have unwittingly used reality television to broadcast the reality of an unraveling marriage. And they’ve done it to record ratings this season as media frenzy around the battling couple has grown in recent weeks, including this past weekend when Jon and Kate spent their 10th wedding anniversary apart.
I had some previous thoughts on this here.
The show has become their jobs, but while the show may finish this season, I can't imagine it going on beyond that. No one will be interested in hearing Kate speak or reading her books. It looks like her time the spotlight, which she seemed to really love, will be quickly over.
Jon will return to anonymity, such as you can after being a tabloid and reality show celebrity, and who knows what will happen to the kids.
