Eight Things You Didn't Know about Jon and Kate

They're Estranged from Their Parents

During an interview, Jon revealed that they want to be “drop-in grandparents” and that they don’t talk to them. Jon’s father has passed away, and his mother lives in Hawaii — he talks to her on the phone on a regular basis.

They're No Longer Close with Aunt Jodi

Aunt Jodi, Kate’s sister-in-law, was booted off the show when TLC wanted to pay her. Jon and Kate balked, and now Jodi is giving interviews about the embattled couple.

It Was Love at First Sight

Jon and Kate first met at a picnic in 1997 — they said it was love at first sight.

Kate Had Humble Beginnings

Kate grew up in a mobile home park, and never flew on an airplane until their honeymoon to Disneyworld. Today, the mom of eight loves flying first class.

You've Got to Pay to Meet Them

Fans need to fork over $10 bucks for an autographed picture of one of Jon and Kate’s brood, $20 for a family photo, and $3,000 an hour to hear Kate speak!

Jon Was an IT Professional

Before becoming a stay-at-home pop, Jon was an IT professional who worked for the Governor of Pennsylvania.

Kate Has Tattoos

Kate has a Winnie the Pooh tattoo on her ankle. She used to have a rose tat on her belly, but it was removed when she had a tummy tuck.

They Have an Entourage

The couple doesn’t manage all those kids by themselves! They have a personal organic chef, housekeepers, gardeners and a personal assistant.

If Kate is so innocent while being out and about for weeks with body guard picking lint off the body guard got to keep him clean then why is the body guard divorsed if want to make a guess on that just read between the lines is the answer isn’t it Kate.

I would love to start a group that would fight for Jon and Kate! There are other families on tv that are not being bombarded by the “P” people and they need to leave Jon and Kate alone as well. If anything, these “P” people are causing the eploitation and trauma to these kids………….NOT their parents!!!!!!

I am so darn sick and tired of people making comments about Kate growing up in a “trailer park.” So what if she did or didn’t? Does that phrase have such a negative connotation that it automatically demeans a person or a family? My grandchildren live in a mobile home park with their parents and my husband I first lived in a “trailer” or “mobile home.” So what? The implication from all postings seems to be that if this is your living situation, then you are somehow “less than” others in intelligence, social standing, employment, and that “where you live” determines who you are, the implication that you are a “lower class” of person. How very, very sad for those of you who think this way and shame on you! How did we as a people get to be this way - where we become “social snobs” and feel we have the right to put people into “social categories” so that we can somehow feel better about ourselves? Why hurt someone that way? Why demean anyone? It is so much easier to be kind. Hope no one ever says anything like this to me because my precious family lives in a mobile home, as I said, and I would match them against anyone anyday!

For the person who said Kate did NOT grow up in a trailer park, sorry to tell you this but your not correct. SHE in fact DID grow up in a trailer park. And you can have all the degrees in the world but that doesnt mean a darn thing. Look at this crazy witch. She has her nursing degree and doesnt use it at all. She is more interested in pimping out her kids so that she WONT END UP IN A TRAILER PARK. She is greedy, self centered, arrogant and she drove a wedge so far in her married that it will NEVER come out. SHE is the ONLY one to blame.

Hey Rick Garner, even if I DID pray, why would I waste my time on Jon & Kate? I feel bad for the kids, but those parents brought this on themselves with their material greed. They are liars and con artists, and the only tragedy is they are taking 8 beautiful kids down with them.

If you want to spend your time praying, do it for people who are truly in need.

Katie didn’t grow up in a mobile home or in a mobile home park. Her parents own a KOA campground. Her father is a minister and a teacher. He has a master’s degree.

I had no idea that the age at which one boards an airplane for the first time was a sign of wealth or poverty.

A few of the facts are incorrect or misleading. Jon’s mother doesn’t live in Hawaii; she lives in Pennsylvania. Jon did say that Kate’s parents only want to be ‘drop-in’ grandparents (and Kate has said that the grandparents ‘just don’t know how to help’), but it is clear from pictures and blogs that Kate’s sister used to have online that the grandparents are active in the lives of Kate’s nieces and nephews just not the lives of Kate’s kids. I wonder why that is? Probably because Kate has isolated her kids and herself from anyone that hasn’t signed a confidentiality agreement and isn’t paid to keep the not-real ‘reality’ show chugging along.
