So having eight kids isn't the secret to marital bliss? Jon and Kate Gosselin announced on their popular reality show Monday night that they are filing for divorce after 10 years of marriage. The show will go on, since both have committed to 40 episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and the pair will switch off living in the house with their sextuplets. "I was too passive," Jon said on the show. "I just...went along with everything. Now I finally stood up on my own two feet and I'm proud of myself." The Gosselins filed for divorce in a Pennsylvania courthouse this afternoon, according to People. The stars of TLC’s now infamous reality show have been scrutinized for their marital woes.

For the past week, the network advertised Jon and Kate would be making a “major announcement” in the episode.
