Kate Gosselin: 'We're Handling This Privately'

Kate Gosselin of 'Jon and Kate Plus 8'

Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin is speaking out about reports her hubby Jon cheated with a 23-year-old teacher. "It's one of those things that we're just handling privately," she said during a taping of "The Rachael Ray Show" in an interview airing next Tuesday. "We're just taking it one step at a time and I'm trying to walk through it."

Us Weekly is accusing the dad of eight of having an affair with Deanna Hummel, whose brother has blabbed details of her alleged romantic relationship -- but she says he's "making this all up."

Meanwhile, Kate says she's focusing on their gigantic family and taking things "one day at a time, like we've always done." She added, "We just need to go forward. That is my new saying -- just keep on marching through this."

She also tackled criticism that she's too harsh on Jon, but said, "I do not care how you see me. Call me crazy, but it's out there because I am not perfect and I will never boast that I'm perfect."

Tell us if you think Jon cheated! Talk about it in our community.

IF JON DIDN’T LIKE HIS WIFE TREATING HIM BADLY, HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR AND NOT SEEN ANOTHER WOMAN. THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO A BAD MARRIAGE.

YOU COMMENTORS ARE GIVING JON THE GREEN LIGHT TO CHEAT BECAUSE HE HAS A TERRIBLE WIFE.

IT IS NOT RIGHT TO CHEAT. JUST LIKE JON SOUGHT OUT ANOTHER WOMAN, HE COULD HAVE EASILY SOUGHT OUT A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR.

THERE ARE SOLUTIONS TO A BAD MARRIAGE, RUNNING INTO THE ARMS OF ANOTHER MAN OR WOMAN IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

JON IS WRONG TO CHEAT ON HIS WIFE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR CHEATING, THAT IS THE COWARD’S WAY OUT.

ELISABETH EDWARDS WAS GOOD TO HER HUSBAND JOHN EDWARDS AND HE STILL WENT AND CHEATED ON HER.

THAT IS A SORRY LAME EXCUSE YOU COMMENTORS HAVE. IF KATE WOULD HAVE TREATED HER HUSBAND BETTER, HE WOULDN’T HAVE CHEATED ON HER. SORRY, SORRY LAME EXCUSE COMMENTORS.

IS THAT THE BEST EXCUSE YOU HAVE? COULDN’T YOU COME UP WITH BETTER EXCUSE?

IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO CHEAT, NOTHING WILL STOP THAT PERSON FROM CHEATING.

JON WANTED TO CHEAT AND NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP HIM,,,,ONCE A CHEATER, ALWAYS A CHEATER.

LOOK AT ELISABETH EDWARDS, A TERMINNALLY ILL KIND WOMAN TOWARDS HER HUSBAND AND HE STILL GOES AND CHEATS.

JOH GOSSELIN WANTED TO CHEAT ON HIS WIFE, NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP HIM.

I DON’T BUY INTO THE BULLCRAP THAT KATE TREATED HIM BAD AND THAT IS WHY HE WENT TO GO AND CHEAT.

IS THAT THE BEST EXCUSE YOU GOT? SAVE YOUR BREATH AND YOUR COMMENTS.

HILARY CLINTON WAS GOOD TO HER HUSBAND BILL CLINTON AND HE STILL WENT AND CHEATED ON HER.

PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK.

I have a ton of gay friends, and thus have amazing gaydar. Funny that Mario Lopez’ cheezy, closeted face is above this article.

Jon’s not sleeping with this teacher friend. He hasn’t been sleeping with Kate for years also. This sexless marriage of theirs is all for show. What they don’t realize is that if they divorce and Jon comes out of the closet, it’ll be even better TV. Maybe he and Mario can help each other out…they could both use a career boost. Actually, Jon needs to consider getting one, period!

I don’t care about either parent, but still watch the show religiously. Seven of them are awesome, adorable kids. (Guess which one Kate needs to crawl under a rock with.)

Jon & Kate have become money hungry scum and need to get back to their roots. All this bs they spill about it being all for the kids- the only way they ever justify it is money. From their own mouths, the gains for the kids is always a financial matter. I’m sick of them pretending that they’ve sold their kids so that the kids can have better lives. Jon and Kate have better lives; the kids have every embarrassing moment shared with the world. They have no secrets. They have no concept of privacy and personal space. When the cameras stop rolling, how do you reteach these kids that the world doesn’t revolve around them.

Yes, they’ve gotten to experience a lot as perks, but I’d bet you the kids would give it up for “normal” lives. I bet Jon & Kate have already made enough $ to raise them until they’re all 18. As much as I love the show, STOP IT! If she could see the damage it does and will do to the kids, she couldn’t let it continue in good conscience. (I only address Kate because she is the woman and man of the house….Jon’s just a confused boy.)

No one is expecting perfection from them. Kate could be a little kinder to Jon though. News flash to Kate- he has 8 kids just like you do and has at least the same amount of stress. His burden is heavier, as he continues to try to develop his spine.

She doesn’t respect him, and once that’s gone, there’s no turning back. They don’t love each other, they simply tolerate each other. They know they’re stuck, but he more than she. Men are pigs; she can find another man willing to take on 8 kids, especially knowing she’ll always use them for income until they’re 18. He’ll be attention starved and will use her, but she can find one. Him, on the other hand, has nothing going for him. He’d be a single father to 8 kids without the ability to raise them. Kate has continued to take advantage of the kids by “writing” books and such, but Jon is simply a house husband now. He doesn’t have a degree, could never keep a job before the show started, and would struggle to even pay child support. He loves the perks too much to simply admit that he’s cheating and leave. He’s very materialistic and couldn’t imagine giving up the “good” life.

Lost in all this mess are the children.

If they had any decency they would stop this farce today and rally around their kids to protect them.

How sad for the kids that their parents put the almighty dollar first.

Whether Kate was mean, a good wife, a bad wife - doesn’t give him the right to cheat. You have got to be kidding me that there are people who think it is EVER ok to step outside of your marriage. Seek marital help, individual help, divorce, but you dont go out of the marriage. Bottom Line! For those who say she deserved it or your not surprised… wait til it happens to you.

Today is my 26th wedding anniversary and 7 wks. ago
my husband left our marriage due to extra marital affairs. I believe God is a big God and he knows each and every details our beings. And as has said, quoted
She is not perfect. Only Jesus who came to the earth as a man in the flesh who had no sin.(We are all sinners from the beginning Adam and Eve) we all fall short of perfection. But, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ can our sins be forgiven.Yes, we can be forgiven. So let up and leave this in God’s hands and he is the healer and forgiver no man can do this impossible thing.. LOVE AND FORGIVENESS IN JESUS, DANA

I really can’t blame Jon. Kate was to hard on him. Life is to short. She makes a big deal out of every thing. Kate is not the only woman to have had 8 kids. Deal with it. Life is about choices. I hope for the kids they can work things out. Kate seems bossy, snobby, and she is going to wake up one day and her kids are going to be grown she will whish they were small then.

I’m really tired of people saying how mean Kate is…I’m a mother of twins and multiples takes a toll on your life in every way. Don’t judge her if you do not have 8 kids yourself. You do not walk in her shoes…as for Jon, pictures are worth 1,000 words and there are TWO sides to every story. This is their life, leave them alone and let them handle this privately.

Kate is too mean to Jon I knew this would happen. She treats him badly and she needs to stop it. He is a good man to her and the kids but she treats him like crap. She is to be blame for all this.

Kate needs to lighten up. Everything is a big deal to her. Just like the ice cream incident at disney. For christ sake just change the shirt. Why ruin everyone’s good time. Her kid’s will distant themselves from her just like the rest of her family if she does not change. She is mean to those who try to help her. Nothing is ever good enough for her. I feel sorry for her that her husband is cheating but can you really blame him?

Can’t blame him for trailing away.. She is crazy and I couldn’t stand to be around her all the time either.. Rather he sexually cheated or just got away from her for a while, she is crazy and he probably had to for his own sanity.
