Wife: John Gosselin's Behavior Has Added 'Tension and Stress'2009-05-06
The stars of the TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" are speaking out about tabloid reports alleging that Jon Gosselin has been unfaithful to his wife Kate.
Kate, 34, tells Entertainment Weekly she is upset with the reports, which she says have affected her relationship with 32-year-old Jon. "It's disturbing and unfortunate that these tabloids have gone as far as they have to try and bring us down. Jon's poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us."
In the early morning hours of April 18, a paparazzo photographed Jon leaving a Pennsylvania bar with a woman who has since identified herself as 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, while his wife Kate was out of town promoting her latest book, Eight Little Faces.
For his part, Jon reiterated to EW that he had not cheated on his wife. "It's really upsetting. I may be guilty of choosing the wrong time and place to hang out with my friends, but I am not guilty of cheating on my wife. It hurts me to see what it's done to my family, and it's scary to know that these tabloids are in town constantly following us and even paying locals large amounts of money to contribute to these negative stories."
"Our fans and the majority of viewers have been overwhelmingly supportive, but when tabloids take photos and turn them into something they are not, yes it definitely makes us hesitant to take photos with fans and go about our daily lives," Jon says, adding: "We still want to live normal lives."
When asked whether the sensational reports will become a part of their TV show, Kate said: "I think we will address the bigger picture, regarding the very public focus on our family and the stress it's caused in our relationship, but not necessarily any specific tabloid."
"Jon & Kate Plu 8" documents the lives of the Pennsylvania couple as they undergo the joys and tribulations of raising their eight young children.
