The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star has been at the center of a media frenzy and harsh tabloid scrutiny since news emerged that her relationship was on the rocks. "Things got really bad – really bad," she said. "I looked at [Jon] and he looked at me and we were completely different people. Our visions changed." The former nurse broke down in tears as she told how the endless parade of tabloid magazine covers can be "hurtful".

"I signed up for a reality show; I didn't sign up to be a tabloid staple," she said. The estranged couple – still the parents of eight kids – now usually communicates via text message. Asked whether she still loves Jon, she fought back the tears, saying: "A part of me always will. I love the memories that we have together.

The good times. "I still wake up every day and I think the phone will ring and it will be the old Jon." As for the future of their hit show, Kate said that she'd love to continue filming with the kids, who "miss the fun".
