It has now been a year since the marriage of Kate and Jon Gosselin ended. The weeks prior to the tearful, on-air confessionals confirming the split (and garnering record ratings) on Jon & Kate Plus 8 were a train wreck of epic proportions. Rumors of Jon nailing his pal Deanna Hummel were the first to surface. Then Kate and Steve Neild. Then Jon and Hailey Glassman, Stephanie Santoro, and so on. As their family crumbled under the microscope of celebrity gossip magazines and websites, Kate acknowledges there were difficult moments for their eight kids. “[Nine-year-old daughter Cara] was upset with me because I forgot to sign them up for something at school,” Kate tells People in its new cover story this week. HAPPY DAZE : Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Minus Bitterness . “I said, ‘Cara, I had a really rough year. This is a new year. You’ve got to give me that. Let’s start over.’ So I’ve really worked to keep my word with them.” In general, Kate says, her children – twins Cara and Mady and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, Collin and Joel – have weathered the storm well. “They’re just amazing, resilient, loving kids.” The reality TV mom and her children will return to TLC in a new, revamped Kate Plus 8 , airing June 6. The family recently filmed the show in Orlando, Fla. There, they also celebrated the sextuplets’ sixth birthday. Back home, they also got to see dad … and were introduced to Jon’s new girlfriend Ellen Ross. Poor kids. Hang in there, y’all.
