Jon and Kate Plus 8. Official Thread!!

[FSUDisneyGirl]

does anybody have a link to the gosselins on fox? i can't seem to find it on the internet!

also, anyone live near them, go to their church, etc? i'd love to know what they are like without the cameras around! i'm actually going up to my cousin's for a wedding this summer, and they live about 30 minutes away from jon and kate's town....i'd love to drive by and see their house, but i think i'll refrain! they have enough to worry about without crazy fans like me driving by!

Anyone else watch tonight's show, where they looked back on "how it all began"? I thought it was very entertaining - plus they honeymooned in Disney World!! They were asked directly about the grandparents not being involved, and Kate just said that at this point in time, it's better they aren't involved...but that doesn't mean that they don't love them or they hate them. Still strange, I think. John talked about how his dad passed away eight months after the babies were born, and they both said his dad was very involved. John said his mom was remarried and works full time. They both then said they just aren't dependent on their parents.

I thought it was funny how Jon said he had a girlfriend when he met Kate, and they Kate said the girlfriend was gone the next day! Those early home videos of themselves were hilarious. They really were sickingly in love!

I totally missed it. I think I can catch it again at midnight. Sounds like it was a good show.

did anyone else wonder if the disney executives went when the topic of discussion was they honeymoon trip to wdw and kate said if she had it to do over again she would have gone to an island instead yeah-i'm sure disney was thrilled to death to hear that after doing the family trip, and then the kicker-there was a wdw ad that ran during the commercial break

Oh, I LOVED last nite's show! I thought Jon and Kate were so great; and their home videos were adorable! I thought this show, more than any others, truly showed what a great relationship the two of them have! And they both seemed very determined to silence alot of their critics and address some of those "lingering" questions out there about them. Jon, especially, was very adamant and convincing in some of the things he said.

And those early videos of the babies - too precious!!!! It was enjoyable to get that inside peek of the earlier years!

Kycha - there's a marathon tomorrow night (Wed.) so maybe they will air that one again if you missed it. It was great!

I really liked last night's episode. Jon and Kate were ADORABLE as a couple when they were younger. She was so young, fun, happy and just clearly in love with him. She seemed much more relaxed pre-kids. Jon was just a little hottie!

 

[grumpy28]

From last nights show we know Jon is 30. Anyone know how old Kate is?

 

[bjgrazi]

Kate is 2 years older than him. She had said that last night.

 

[TaraPA]

If you go to their website it says Jon is 32 & Kate is 34.

 

[barkley]

maybe someone can clear this up for me-cuz i am

i THOUGHT i heard them say last nite that they had wanted to adopt after the twins hit age one but they knew they would'nt qualify (their age?) so it was'nt ever an option for them-but then i read on their personal website (not the tlc one) and there they talk about how they had the opportunity to adopt a newborn but chose not to, so to me it sounds like adoption was an option, just one that for their own personal reasons they chose not to pursue.

so did i hear right or wrong-did they or did they not say on the show that adoption was'nt an option for them?

Actually Jon is 31 and Kate is 33. His birthday is April 1, 1977 and Kate's is March 28, 1975. I did hear Jon say last night that he was 22 when he got married in 1999.

If you go to their website it says Jon is 32 & Kate is 34.

I thought they said before they got pg with the twins, they talked about adopting from Korea but they were too young for the age requirements.

They talked about possibly adopting BEFORE the twins; but because they were so young, they weren't good candidates so they went forward with the fertility treatments.

They agreed that once the twins turned three, they were going to go back and try for another baby. Never heard them mention adoption again.

Seems like we're all a little mathematically challenged this morning!

That's what I heard too.

I loved the early baby videos....so adorable!!
