NEW YORK (AP) — Kate Gosselin said her marriage to Jon would have failed whether it played out in the glare of a TV reality show or not.

“Was (divorce) a product of the show? I feel like it would have happened anyway – cameras on or cameras off,” she said.

Appearing on NBC’s “Today” Monday, Kate Gosselin discussed her separation from her husband, which was announced in June on their TLC network reality show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”

Despite their separation, both parents continue with the hit show, which documents the challenges of raising twins and sextuplets.

“In everybody’s life, you make sacrifices,” Gosselin said, referring to her staying with the show. “Everybody has to work. Everybody has a job. Ours is a very unique job. …

“I still feel like this is a good thing. It’s healthy. And the kids would agree.”

Gosselin told “Today” host Meredith Vieira that she still wears her wedding ring for the sake of her eight children, but feels a lot of failure that the marriage is over.

Web spoof of Jon Gosselin, would you date him?

Jon Gosselin says there’s no truth to reports that his eight children have been hurt by the family’s reality TV series.

Both Gosselin and his wife, Kate, have drawn tabloid fire as the couple, their 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets continue to appear on the TLC network’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”

Last week, Pennsylvania’s Labor Department said it was launching a probe to see if the hit show is complying with child labor laws. (TLC said it “fully complies” with state laws and regulations.)

Gosselin rejects the idea that his children are being exploited by the TV production.

“I don’t even want to use that word, because I think it’s ridiculous,” he told People magazine. “We have healthy, happy, well-adjusted, educated kids. They’re bouncing around and having a good time.”

Jon and Kate have reportedly cheated on each other. They deny those allegations, while acknowledging their marriage is struggling in the media glare.

“I think all parents, and anyone who is married, are always going to have times when you’re upset with someone,” Jon said. “This is a reality show, so you’re going to see real emotion.”

Kate Gosselin, co-star of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” says it’s difficult reading stories about herself.

Recent media reports have focused a harsh spotlight on Kate and her husband, Jon, who star with their eight children on the popular reality show. In recent days, the Gosselins’ wholesome on-screen home life has been called into question by reports of extramarital affairs. Both Jon and Kate have denied those accusations.

“This is certainly not what I envisioned I was signing up for,” Kate Gosselin said Wednesday during an appearance at the Frauenthal Center, The Muskegon Chronicle reported.

“When I see magazines in stores it’s really difficult. It amazes me there is an industry that follows you around and writes stories about you.

“It destroys peoples’ lives. I need you to know, don’t believe what you read unless you hear it from that person.”

On its Web site, Us Weekly recently described an over-friendly relationship between Gosselin and her married bodyguard, Steve Neild, that “caught the attention of her husband – and has become the talk of many locals” in their Pennsylvania community.

People magazine’s Web site quoted Gosselin as saying the couple have been struggling for months.

“This week I’m on the cover of four magazines. One is true, three are not,” Kate told her audience.

The Gosselins are on the cover of People, Us Weekly, Star and National Enquirer. She described People’s reporting as the most accurate.

She has previously denied having an affair with Neild. Jon Gosselin has denied cheating with a 23-year-old schoolteacher, and he has apologized for putting his family in an “awkward situation.”

Kate Gosselin said the stop in Muskegon, located about 35 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, was the last on her travel schedule for a while. She said she plans to spend more time at home.

“The last couple weeks have been interesting,” she said. “I had to address that.”

TLC’s most popular series, which has been on the air for four seasons, attracts an average audience of more than 2.8 million viewers.

The new, 40-week season premieres May 25 with an hourlong edition.
