Kate Gosselin out and about, Jon hurt by her statements

The Gosselin drama continues. Kate Gosselin was spotted still wearing her wedding ring while bopping around Wernersville, Pa. in her Toyota Land Cruiser. She stopped by the dealership to get it serviced and ran errands, looking happy according to witnesses.

“Considering they are now getting divorced, Kate seemed quite upbeat,” a witness said. “She was laughing and smiling with her bodyguard as she chatted to staff at the car showroom and the gas station.

“It almost looked like the divorce announcement has taken a huge burden off her shoulders and everything is finally out there in the open,” the witness added. “Kate seemed totally relaxed and was texting on her phone and answering calls from friends.”

Jon spent the day playing with their kids in the garden of their $1.1 million country home, but said he was hurt by Kate’s divorce statement Monday.

After filing papers Monday, Kate told The Associated Press: “Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children.” She added that “it was appropriate and necessary” for her to initiate this proceeding but refused to discuss why.

In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Jon said, “Yesterday, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my No. 1 priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe.

“My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that. This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania.

“I am deeply saddened that we are divorcing, and also hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce. I have always done everything I can to protect our family.

“The one thing I do agree with in Kate’s statement is her desire to resolve things amicably. Of course emotions are running high for both of us right now, but for the sake of our children and our family’s privacy, I hope that we can both limit our public comments about the legal proceedings going forward.”

Before ending his statement, Jon said his Father’s Day last weekend was one of his best ones yet because, “I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me. In fact, with the exception of Aaden’s visit to the doctor, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend Fathers Day weekend.”

TLC announced Tuesday that the show will go on hiatus until August. They were six episodes into a 40-episode fifth season and are sure to re-tool the show to play up the divorce court aspect that’s gotten them stellar ratings not once, but twice.
