Update: Jon and Kate have officially announced their divorce.
There's a big Jon and Kate announcement on the way, according to current TLC promos, coming on this Monday's episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, apparently replacing the planned "Mother's Day Episode" which was to feature Kate celebrating Mother's Day with brunch at her favorite restaurant, then packing for a book tour.
The new spot currently in rotation on TLC says that June 22nd will feature a one hour Jon and Kate special, and the captions had the phrases "A Family in Turmoil", "A Relationship at a Crossroads", "Where do they go from here?" and "Jon and Kate have an announcement."
The commercial also featured Kate's voice over saying:
Recently, we've made some life changing decisions. Decisions that will affect every member of our family, ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace.
The images shown made it a point of emphasizing distance between Jon and Kate.
So what's going on? Are they going to announce that the couple has separated? That the show is going on hiatus? It's hard for me to get too drawn in to the mystery, given that the "big announcement" touted for the Season 4 finale was pretty anti-climactic. And with the recent ratings slide, it's very probable that this is just another ploy to get viewers to tune in, so I'm keeping my cynicism in place.
What do you think the announcement is going to be?
