Kate Gosselin Says Goodbye to ‘Kate Plus 8’ Tonight
The saga of Kate Gosselin, former husband Jon and their oversized brood of eight wraps up tonight- the TLC chapter at least- and the former Mr. Kate has read his ex-wife’s recent, frantic public rants about caring for the kids- and has a bit of advice for her.
Kate has said (although she purchased a new Audi coupe) that she worries about her family’s immediate financial future since learning of the show’s cancellation last month. And indeed, her celebrity lifestyle may just begin winding down after the TLC gravy train ends- but Jon seems to think that that’s no big deal.
In an online interview, Jon says that he and his ex are capable of supporting their kids and moving on after the Kate Plus 8 series finale tonight- but a return to a normal life is key. Jon cautions and advises Kate:
“Reality TV is not a career. Get back to a normal life — a simple life. Provide for your family. Things will work out the way they should work out. Obviously there are families out there that have several kids – people work normal jobs and things work out. Everything is possible”
The now less-famous Gosselin says that his life is proof that life after reality TV is possible and even preferable:
“I don’t have a farm on 24 acres and the kids seem to have a great time at my house… I go to work every day and provide for my family. I spend time with my kids – spend time on the weekends. I spend time with the girlfriend I’ve had for over a year now. And enjoy a normal lifestyle.”
Perhaps the most interesting part of all this is that Jon has to address these issues with Kate through the medium of an interview. Will you be tuning in to Kate Plus 8‘s series finale tonight?
