Kate Gosselin is not blaming her failed marriage on reality television.

Her reality show with her husband and children, called "Jon & Kate Plus 8," put her on the map, however, she told Katie Couric that the fame was not what tore her apart from her husband of 10 years, Jon - stating that they were would have split up eventually, regardless of doing the TLC show or not.

"A lot of people try to pin reality TV and say, 'My gosh. It ended in divorce. Big surprise.' We went through a lot. The signs were always there," Kate said on "Katie." "Obviously having eight kids in a short span of time didn't help that. I'm not at all blaming my kids, I'm just saying. The red flags were there. So looking back, had you never heard of Jon and Kate Gosselin, I'm certain I would be in that spot now."

Kate, 37, and Jon, 35, finalized their marriage in 2009. The former reality star and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant admitted that she is ready to date, and maybe return to the small screen once again to help her find love (as a new 'Bachlorette' perhaps).

"After a few years in realizing my barriers to dating and all of that and loving TV and the experiences ... I just feel like honestly, yes, that was my idea," she said. "I would do it (so) it could be watched by families and my children. I think that it would be fun because that would allow me to sort of meet people, have fun, show my fun side."

"I do have one," she added. "I'm not always barking orders!"
