Reality TV Star Jon Gosselin Makes Stunning Confession On Relationship With Ex-Wife Kate Gosselin
Jon and Kate Gosselin rose to fame as a couple in the TLC series "Jon & Kate Plus 8." When they announced their divorce in 2009, many were surprised and thought the couple was under a lot of pressure to be together because of their reality TV show.
However, 10 years after their divorce was finalized, Jon Gosselin finally speaks up about their uncanny family dynamics.
On the Monday episode of "The Dr. Oz Show," Jon opened up about Kate Gosselin and where things are between them. He gave a shocking yet very honest answer, saying that he and kate do not have a relationship at the moment.
In fact, Jon said that they do not talk anymore. He also shared that the only time that he sees his ex-wife is when they have to be in court to talk about their kids.
"We've exhausted all opportunities to co-parent our children," Jon said, adding that co-parenting with Kate is no longer possible because of personality disorders and everything else in between.
Jon also cited their differences in how they want to parent their children as the reason why they are both in court to settle.
After a tedious custody battle, Kate was awarded primary custody of their eight children. They share 15-year old sextuplets Hannah, Collin, Aaden, Alexis, Leah and Joel and 19-year old twins Mady and Cara
After being married for 10 years, the reality TV couple filed for divorce in 2009 amid rumors of Jon's infidelity. At present, Collin and Hannah live with Jon. Collin was away from the family for two years since he was enrolled in a program for children with special needs.
When he was asked to elaborate further on the idea of "personality disorders," Jo, said that he strongly believes that Kate has a narcissistic personality disorder. He referred to his own behavior as something likened to "passive-aggressive."
Before the show on Monday, sneak peeks of the interview were revealed as teasers and people's reactions went wild. Kate, through People, issued an exclusive statement in response to Jon's revelations.
"I have consistently made it a rule never to respond to Jon's delusional ramblings, and I will not break that rule now," Kate said. "However, at some point soon, I look forward to making sure the absolute truth about our family is known."
When Dr. Oz asked Jon if their reality show drove a wedge in the marriage as its filming was frequently done at home, Jon provided a rather shocking revelation.
"It's hard to live in a hypothetical, but I think eventually, because of personality, it would have fizzled out anyway," Jon said. "First of all, I got married at 22 years old, and you just don't know."
In the midst of all the drama between the ex-couple are eight children. In an interview with People in 2016, Mady and Cara said they were not speaking to their father, with Mady saying that they were not being kept from him and even daring her father to ask himself why they didn't want to see him.
Jon admitted that apart from Collin and Hannah, he has not spoken or seen his other kids.
