8 chimesTLC has dubbed them "America's Favorite Family" but it has been a rough few months for Jon & Kate Plus 8. We ignore the drama (and Kate's questionable hairstyle) to take a closer look at this controversial yet entertaining family.
Kate Gosselin
Born March 28, 1975
Kate is a no-nonsense kind of mom. She runs a tight ship, but with eight kids, two dogs and a blossoming writing career, someone’s got to make sure things run smoothly.
Jon Gosselin
Born April 1, 1977
Acting like the kids’ best buddy, Jon’s fun-loving attitude often lands him in hot water with Kate, but he always does his part to keep his family happy (and occupied!).
