Jon Gosselin on His Marriage with Kate: “There’s Definitely Tension”

TLC’s reality hit TV show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” has been an unbelievable success for the network and the parents of America’s favorite reality TV family. But has the success of the show compromised the relationship of parents Jon and Kate Gosselin? It appears so.

Jon and Kate GosselinSpeaking out against allegations of infidelity, Jon released this statement to the media and fans of the show:

"Like most people, I have male and female friends and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV.

“However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part. What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position. My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them."

And while rumors of Jon cheating continue to fuel media speculation, the college girls who met Jon on the night he supposedly cheated insist he was a complete gentleman. In fact, they even claim that Jon talked more about his wife Kate than anything or anyone else.

"He was very well-behaved, a gentleman," Alex-Rae Campbell, a female college student who was at the same party as Jon told PEOPLE. "He talked more about his wife than his kids.”

So where do Jon and Kate Gosselin stand in their marriage? Like most couples, they are working through their problems and trying to find a compromise that works for both of them. But Jon’s not afraid to admit that there may be some jealousy involved in regards to the strain on their relationship: “Kate's career is taking off and I'm a bit lost," he admitted. "This struggle has definitely put some tension in our marriage."

Hopefully (especially for the sake of their children) they can work things out. Do you think Jon and Kate should stay together or go their separate ways?

Kate is a bossy woman with a lot of hangups IMO. She treats Jon like he's a kid, orders him around like he's nothing in that house but a sire for all of those kids. She should be lucky that he's so helpful with the kids. Most guys don't do half of the stuff he does there. Do any of them have a job? Seems like they live off of that TV show, what's gonna happen when that show eventually ends?

I feel sorry for those kids once they start having minds of their own and disobey Kate. Right now she's in charge of them but one day it's all gonna end and she won't be able to control them anymore.

It is really wonderful that Kate's "career" has taken off, but at the same time it is sad that she has let it all get to her head.  I have been watching the newer episodes as well as the old ones again and can't help but notice there is a marked difference in Kate's mannerism.  She seems to have forgotten her humble beginnings as a mom of 8.  All the same, the children are adorable and really that is the only reason why my family and I still watch this show. Kate must remember her children will watch these shows when they are older.  Meanwhile, they are probably already picking up some of her ways.  

Jon is a good father.  If Kate really loves him she needs to work on giving him more respect.  Mutual respect is the key to a successful marriage.  I wish them both success not only with the show but also in their real life marriage.

I love the show but Kate is getting to be a bit overbearing. I don't think she realizes how much Jon does and holds down a full time job as well. A message for Kate, you need to pay more attention to your family than your career, your children will be grown before you can even think about it and you will then have plenty of time for a career. Right now you need to concentrate on your family.

I do not understand why everyone seems suprized at Kates bad behavior..I feel bad for Jon and the children! Every thing that comes up will come down Kate..And all the world will be watching when you crash...I only hope the children do not suffer. One day her kids will be estranged from her...When they are older and watch the show they will realize that their mom is a concieted,controllin and emasculating tyrant!

we are a gossellin family fan and think kate is getting an unfair deal about her personna. she is a wonderful mother and wife. what we see is what every woman is like when she has her moments. remember she is the backbone of this family and that adds to her demeaner. i do not feel sorry for jon and am sic of the poor jon comments. poor jon can get out instead of trashing the family and show on his sexual mishaps. the show now presents itself totally different now, if he shows kate a better side of himself is it because he likes the great income it gets and he doesn't have to go to work at all. they have been given a great opportunity for a better life for the children and themselves and he had to ruin it by being an ass. he should of discussed his unhappiness abd sought counseling or divorce. come on he is hanging with women in there 20's. he's not even a hot catch. kate seems to believe this did not happen, is she blind? while on booktour the woman is in there yard in a two-piece bathing suit sunbathing, what balls she has and what disrespect for his children. the womans brother spoke out, the attendant at the bar he hangs out at spoke out and the pics tell it all. the witch was even driving the family car. what nerve, i think kate needs to have a talk with her and find out if jon is lying. then i would wip her ass and his. kate is beautiful and can make it on her own, jon is selfish and seems put out when he has to do daddy duty.come on what does kate do all day and everyday. she is the heart and soul of this tribe of little cuties. this truly upsets me cuz i love these kids as if they were my own. there personalities, there display of loving eachother and the fact that they are the cutest asians children i have ever seen. we know each one and how they are going to react  in every show. now when jon is on i have contempt for him being the selfish coward he is. why do men give up wonderful families for a stupid act of sex? they need reassurance they got it. look at john edwards, another idiot. what if kate would of done this, jon would not be so forgiving. i am in total disgust and hope kate finds the path for her and her children to take. jon should work if he doesn't want to play daddy all the time as men always get burnt out and bored with the family role. my husband did this to me and got to have his fun life while i raised my daughter. it's hard to find a good man that will be a constant partner in parenting. i wish kate the best and hope everything turns out for her and the kids but instead of promoting her book and show now she has to deal with his selfish act of  women and bars cuz he'sbored. tuff poop on you jon,you don't deserve the gift you were given. maddy and cara are old enough to hear about this in school and see the family on the cover of mags, boy did he put a damper on his 'poor judgement' liar liar pants on fire. i actually liked him and now he is in that catagory of creeps and decievers. the kids should be so proud of papa now as he did this to them also. be a man and get out, i hate cheaters they are in a class of there own. sorry kate but don't fall into his i'm sorry, he has done this before this young woman..

I love the show with Jon & Kate plus 8! Everybody has problems in their marriage. It just seems bad, because the family is on TV. If John did cheat meaning(had sex) with another woman it may be difficult to work out? However, I read online she cheated also with her bodyguard? Two wrongs do not make a right! Though for the sake of 8 children involved they should work it out no matter what if possible. Kate does need to lighten up on Jon too. Meaning on the show. She comes across as telling everybody what to do. Jon's not stupid, let him do things his way if it works or not. Believe me, sometimes it's better this way. I'm older than my husband also, but by 6 years. We only have 2 children ages 9 and 6 years old. I can't imagine wanting to be right and not get help however you can with 8 children. Hang in there Jon & Kate! Finish this season and concentrate on each other plus kids.

If either one of them had an affair they have waaaaay too much time on their hands and someone, besides a baby sitter,  better be watching the kids. I got tired of hearing them argue a couple of season ago. GROW UP! If they really want their marraige to make it past the kids 18th birthday Kate better start using a differnt tone when talking to Jon. And Jon can quit being the whipped pup and start paying attention!

I used to really like this show; the kids are sweet (except snotty, spoiled brat Mady) and I could NEVER imagine having that many children at once.  It boggled my mind how Kate did it.

After the show progressed, however, I started noticing more and more how much of a b!tch Kate is to Jon and I have to say that she is not someone I would have for a friend.  In other words, I don't like her at all (I should say I don't like what I know of her from TV).  She is abrupt, bossy and sometimes just plain nasty to him.  BUT, he seems like he's got his head in the clouds sometimes...down right stunned on occasion.  That would drive me nuts, too.  Her delivery of her displeasure sucks, though.

Bottom line, though, is the kids...their well being and happiness need to be of the foremost importance and I really hope both Jon and Kate remember that.  It's REALLY no one's business what they are doing...it's between Jon and Kate and people need to mind their own fricken' business.

I have watched every show since Jon & Kate plus 8 began four years ago and sorry to see the publicity about Jon today.  I still admire both of the parents for the very hard work it takes, to care for a set of twins and sixtuplets.  They are all internationally known now, therefore the chase is on now to find every negative/positive action pertaining to the family with the tabloid papers.  

I sincerely hope everything works out.  They are church going people where spirituality is strong.  God give them strenght and help them to heal whatever negativity exist.  There are ripple effects on all issues.  Be careful what is said.  It's Jon and Kate's business to handle their own issues.
