They are a Pennsylvania couple. He's a (former) software engineer, father German-American, mother Korean-American. She's a cute blonde (former) nurse. They used in vitro to get pregnant and had twins. They went for another and six embryos implanted. All were born healthy. The Learning Channel did a special on them that was very popular so it became a series called Jon & Kate Plus Eight, starting when the sextuplets were around 2. They are now five. The series was very popular but there was a lot of buzz that Kate was a controlling bitch and Jon was a wussy dishrag. Apparently Jon took this to heart and went off the rails, how spectacularly depends on which tabloid you read. Their family (which has now moved to a secluded estate in the country and socked away college tuition for all eight kids out of the TV deal) turned into a cottage industry and were beseiged by papparazzi (see secluded estate above). Last week they filed for divorce, but the Show Will Go On.
