It was February 2009 when Jon and Kate Gosselin’s image of having the perfect partnership came crumbling down. At the time, Jon had been spotted hanging out with college girls from a school near their former marital home in Pennsylvania. It happened again in April 2009 when he was seen leaving a bar with a 23-year-old school teacher.
Kate chose to turn a blind eye to the rumors then, telling Today that she was “hesitant to believe” any of the accusations that were flung at them. Jon also shared a statement denying all the allegations but admitted that he had exhibited poor judgment. “The bottom line is, I did not cheat on Kate,” he clarified, per CNN.

Over a decade following the divorce, however, Jon spoke with ET and revealed that the network had concealed the actual reason behind their separation. “Why did the divorce happen? Because a certain person left me for a certain somebody,” he told the outlet. “I knew… I was like, ‘End it.'” As to who Kate was cheating on him with? She was previously rumored to have had an affair with her former bodyguard, but like Jon, she vehemently fought back against the claims. “Already the allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified,” she told People in 2009.
