Kate Gosselin still wearing her wedding ring for kids, doesn’t want Jon back
Breaking up is hard to do even when a lot of people think you are a cold-hearted, er, person.

A weepy Kate Gosselin, star of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” told Today Show host Meredith Vieira that she often feels like a failure and misses the Jon she fell in love with.
Gosselin said she still wears her wedding ring for the children and not because she holds out hope of rekindling a relationship with Jon.
“I don’t want to upset them,” she said of the children. “I don’t want to shock them. I’ve walked slowly through this with them. As they’ve asked questions, I’ve answered them.”
Gosselin said her kids know that the ring is her “married to daddy ring.”
“When the time is right, I’ll take it off,” she said.
Gosselin said that her house has been more peaceful and happy since her estranged husband moved out.
“Clearly his goals are not my goals,” Gosselin said.
The Gosselins told the world they were splitting up on Monday, June 22. Jon has moved on and is now dating a 22-year-old former party girl.
Kate told Vieira that the decision to end the marriage was mutual and gradual and not initiated by her as Jon has indicated.
“Clearly, we have totally different takes on what happened,” she said. “Nobody is perfect. I was not perfect. Obviously, it takes two… What would I go back and change? It is hard to say.”
In a second segment, Gosselin denied rumors that she had an affair with her head of security.

No one is perfect. A lot of people go through divorce. I for one think Kate is handling it well. The truth is…there is a lot we don’t see on the TV show…we only see what they want us to see…They are both equally responsible for what has transpired. And I think we all know a man does not go from deciding to divorce to being in love with a new woman in less than a month. Also, for all of those who dis Kate for the way she treated Jon….how would you treat your cheating husband? She still kept it all together and she’s a good mom. You people might think she’s not but she does put her kids first….no matter what your “personal” opinion is of her…..she always puts her kids first. I like Kate and I enjoy watching her show. Everyone just needs to leave her alone…if you don’t like…..don’t watch! And if you don’t watch then your opinion doesn’t matter! ~Good day everyone!!By denise

I think there are to sides to everything. I think kate does have with whats going on. I think they can still make it work. I believe the both are not being honest with each other. I can see that they both still love each other. If you watch the show back when it was asked what’s next? They both paused waiting for the other to say something. I believe if they didn’t love each other everything would of just poured out. I think Jon is hurt the way Kate treats him. And Kate needs to understand Jon is her other half. Believe me I’m not saying its all Kate. They just have to believe in the vows they took and remember the vow “for better or worse, I will love you. When it’s all said and done it’s me and you against the world.By dxzgzl

Obviously Jon has to grow up. He is NOT thinking of his kids first..listen to him speak. It is always “I”,”ME” first. Kate obviously is the better parent…always putting the kids first. I understand her frustrations…she was with them all the time…he was out partying..like a teen ager.By metoo

I think Kate has a great PR group who is helping her say what is right.
