Kate Spends B-Day With Kids While Jon Hangs With Girlfriend

Tonight's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 (filmed in March before Us Weekly broke the news of their marital troubles) showed Kate Gosselin spending her 34th birthday with just her kids.

Where was her husband Jon? "I went out to Utah for, like, five days," he says. "I just wanted to get back out there and ride with my friends. It just happened to fall on Kate's birthday."

Check out photos of Jon and his mistress.

Not shown on camera: Deanna Hummel, the 23-year-old teacher with whom Jon had a three-month affair. A source confirmed to Us Weekly they were together at a Spring Gruv party at The Canyon in Utah on Kate's March 28 birthday. Back home in Pennsylvania, the kids surprised Kate with a trip to Charm City Cakes, which is featured on the Food Network show Ace of Cakes.

Kate — who works out with a personal trainer to maintain her post-tummy tuck bikini bod — chowed down on lemon birthday cake. "I never eat this stuff!" she says. Jon and Kate also recorded a few of their couch testimonials together this episode — different than the gloomy scenes shot separately in the premiere.

"This season, sometimes you'll see Kate and I interview separately. Sometimes you'll see us interview together on the chair," Jon explains in a voice-over played in the second episode, shown back-to-back after the first. "It depends how things are going. We have busy schedules. And that's it." (Noticeably though, the couple only appear in the same town while taping testimonials — never in the episodes. On last week's premiere, Kate said they may split.) During the second 30-minute show, Kate takes twin Maddy on a trip to San Diego. Their plans? "Shopping, sun, sand, spa, swimming, Sea World, sushi, Shamu!" the 8 year old ticks off. (She's also spotted handing her mom her BlackBerry later on.)

Back on the grounds of their $1.1-million Pennsylvania home, one of the sextuplets, Alexis, trips and accidentally bites through her lip. (She isn't seriously hurt.) "I was on the elliptical and got a phone call," Kate says. "We usually don't call," Jon says, as Kate interrupts, "No news is good news." After last week's premiere earned 9.8 million viewers (a record for the network), TLC announced they had ordered a 40-episode season.

On Friday, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor confirmed that an investigation is underway to determine if Jon & Kate Plus 8 is violating child labor laws after receiving a complaint against the show. Tell Us: What did you think of tonight's episodes?
