Why is Kate Gosselin estranged from her parents?

Answer 1

Jon and Kate Gosselin divorced because they grew apart and had different ambitions and goals for their family, they weren't able to reconcile those views -- and it hurt their marriage.

Jon Gosselin has stated in several interviews that despite his party-ing ways, he never cheated on Kate Gosselin. Kate never cited infidelity as a reason for the disintegrating of the marriage, if Jon had cheated... Kate would have used that as the reason for the divorce, right?

Most articles that repeat this information were not researched, and are just repeating accusations from bloggers and lazy reporters.

Jon And Kate Gosselin got divorced because they thought it was unhealthy for their kids to see them fighting. But I truly believe They Still love each other.

Early in 2009, when there were obvious problems in Gosselinland, Jon said he was suspicious of Kate and her bodyguard and yet Kate did not actually come out and deny it, she choose her words carefully and skirted around the issue. The kicker is that Jon had his suspicions before the vow renewal episode in Aug 2008 and before the fans saw the family moving into a huge house in Nov 2008 but no doubt he couldn't say anything because the show must go on, right? In the Aug 2011 in the K+8 RV episode TLC allowed the viewers to see the real Kate, the mom who would make her child feel like a piece of crap on TV because she handed a piece of Pizza in her bare hands to Steve and where her long time nanny quits. Now here it is June 2012 and the has been former reality star still "needs" a bodyguard? For this viewer it shows that way back when Jon was spot on about his wife and Steve but couldn't make any waves, so when Jon said that he was paying a mortgagefor a house but actually living in the apartment above the garage I believe him. Any former fan who has watched this show without wearing rose colored glasses was able to see the real Kate -- going from relatable to eventually the Hollywoodized store bought tan/boobs/hair version -- and that Kate is not going to get another show because of her infamous reputation. So nowadays Kate is sounding desperate, and yes even pathetic, every time she is begging for another show, but she is doing so because SHE loves the travel opportunities, the perks and the paychecks. But in my opinion it is the parent who should be providing for her kids by going out and getting a real job, not trying to find another show focusing on her kids so they can support themselves, as well as their lazy mother, even if it impacts their education. As it is the kids get paid 15% -- which they have to split 8 ways -- leaving 85% of the paycheck for Kate to spend on Kate (remember that Kate said on ELLEN that if the kids want cars when they are 16 they will have to go out and get jobs!). The Gosselin children have certainly earned the right to live the rest of their childhood in private; we viewers can live without knowing any details about any of future

There was a quote from early in the reality show days in which Gosselin stated that members of her family "did not know how to help" - but that was long ago.. things change. It is unlikely this reflects on the current family dynamic.
