Kate & 8 Minus 1? Kate Gosselin says, 'we MIGHT split up'

[Brian Damage]

She's embroiled in a public scandal linking her husband, Jon Gosselin, to another woman, and Kate Gosselin tells PEOPLE in its latest cover story that she and her spouse have been privately struggling for months.

"I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing," she says quietly. "I've been struggling with the question of 'Who is this person?' for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It's one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there's blaring, red flashing lights."

The name to which Kate refers belongs to 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, whose brother later claimed she'd been having a months-long affair with Jon.

For Kate, who has referred to her husband as "my balance, my strength and my stability," to now consider a future apart has been heartbreaking but not impossible. "You can't imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months," she says.

"It's a lot like when I was first pregnant with the babies, and it was pure shock and denial. But over time I imagined six cribs in my house, and six car seats. When your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios."

Kate does have hope, however, that her marriage can be saved. "I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again," she says.

I like this show but sometimes Kate talks to Jon like he's one of the kids. I wish that he would tell her to talk to him like an adult and not a moron

Frankly from seeing this show long before this stuff about Jon fooling around came out I was surprised that they're still together. She does treat him like crap imo. He puts up with more than I think most men would.

If she doesn't want him, I'd take him in a minute.


Rule #1 for married people....unless you want to kill the relationship, DO NOT do a reality show about yourselves!

During the season premiere she said that now she sees that she was hard on Jon "I mean you have it on tape" She was not so hard on him at the sextuplets 5th birthday party that she put together herself. I wonder doesn't she ever watch any of her dvd's then she will see herself and how she talks to him. Maybe this is a wake up call for her. I hope they stay together.

I watched this show when it premiered, but I stopped because I didn't like the way Kate treated Jon. I know they are both under a lot of pressure though and I hope things work out for the children's sake.
