Look back at photos of Jon and Kate Gosselin through the years.

Still, she maintained during her first television interview since announcing her separation from her husband that her relationship with Neild is not romantic. "There is no affair," she said. "There never has been an affair. We are very, very good friends with his wife and their family." When it came to Jon, Kate was more emotional.

"It is hurtful. It's very hurtful," she said about his recent flings. "To be very honest, the most hurtful part is when his decisions directly affect our children. That's the hardest part for me."
