Jon Plays With Their Pets
After appearing on stage with his wife at the Pennsylvania Women’s Show on May 2, he returned to the family’s $1.1-million Pennsylvania home — while she stayed to sign autographs — to play catch with his two dogs.

When Us Weekly first reported that Jon had a three-month affair with 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, he and his wife were not seen together for weeks -- until May 17, when they threw a fifth birthday party for their sextuplets. Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel played -- while Jon and Kate hardly interacted at all -- as a crew caught it all on film.
While filming Jon & Kate Plus 8, the couple teamed up with another TLC show, American Chopper. The motorcycle moguls came to the Gosselin home on May 22. Kate hitched a ride with Paul Teutul Sr., while Jon -- who later went to their shop for a custom chopper -- rode a red bike of his own.
Kate cleaned up after one of her girls on May 30 while on a working vacation with her eight kids -- along with a nanny and two security guards -- at Bald Head Island, North Carolina. The family stayed at a six-bedroom beachfront rental with a weekly rate of more than $10,000.
The TLC star proudly displayed her tummy tuck -- a $5,000 to $8,000 procedure she received for free in 2007 -- in an orange suit. A fellow vacationer told Us that she completely ignored the children and threatened them if they splashed her in the pool. The child's reply: "Mommy, you are mean!"
The star was spotted leaving the Shoal Club with bodyguard Steve Neild -- whom Jon suspected of having an affair with Kate -- on June 1. A source told Us that Neild "is the opposite of Jon -- he takes control." A few days earlier, her husband was spotted getting drinks in upstate New York with two women.
When the two oldest daughters twins Madelyn and Cara returned home from vacation, Jon -- in a $275 Ed Hardy sweatshirt -- was back on daddy duty and carried their suitcases into their house on June 4. School was still in session for the girls, 8, when they went on their 12-day trip to North Carolina with their mom.
With the TLC cameras present, the mother of eight took a coffee break with Aaden and Hannah on June 10. Kate turned heads as her children ordered Vanilla Bean Frappuccinos with whipped cream -- 340 calories per drink -- at the local Starbucks before picking up office supplies.
