Kate Gosselin

Personality

Children: Collin Gosselin

Kate Gosselin was no June Cleaver, yet she was no Peg Bundy either. The Type-A personality was the matriarch of the Gosselin family and the star of the TLC reality series "Jon and Kate Plus 8" (TLC, 2007-09). Together with her husband Jon, twin daughters, and a set of sextuplets, Gosselin showed the country what life was like with two sets of multiples. There were happy moments on the show, and there were not-so-happy moments, especially when Gosselin and her husband would argue - often in front of the children - onscreen. In June 2009, after Jon's alleged extramarital affair was made public and her own controlling, fame-hungry personality questioned, Gosselin filed for divorce at a Pennsylvania court. Over 10 million viewers tuned in for the special episode that aired that same day, proving that while Gosselin may not have been Mother of the Year, it was fair to say she was one of the more fascinating.
