Exclusive – Jon & Kate Gosselin Handover the Kids

INF Daily spotted Jon Gosselin doing the kid handover with ex-wife Kate Gosselin yesterday afternoon. Jon, who’s not allowed on Kate’s property, parked his Mercedes SUV outside on the grass, music blaring. He then waited as Kate drove their eight kids to the end of the driveway in their enormous van.

Once Kate hopped out of the van she high-tailed it out of there, never turning around as she walked back into the house. Jon doesn’t acknowledge her in any way either. The kids all headed over to his apartment, looking pretty excited.



  • Mom in Toronto

    How come the kids aren’t screaming hysterically because mommy is leaving?? Oh wait, I think I just answered my own question…

  • Jessie

    That is so weird, at least my parents were amicable and my dad was allowed in the house to pick me up, they always had a civil conversation even if they really didn’t like each other much.

  • Annie

    What immature parents. They need to learn the golden rule of divorce – love your children more than you hate your ex. It is beyond childish that she does not allow Jon to drive up to the house to pick up their children. Does she really believe this punishes him more than the example it sets is harming their children?

  • Julie

    You know, even when their show first started and there was no divorce talk, I KNEW that one day they’d split and she would be the ex wife from hell. I knew she would be a bitter old shrew and make his life miserable one day. I saw this coming back in 2007 when the show first came on. I just felt it in my bones that they wouldn’t last and she would be every man’s nightmare as far as ex wives go. Kate doesn’t have an amicable bone in her plastic body. She’s not capable of being friendly and civil with people who don’t bow down to her and kiss her ass.
    She seriously needs parenting classes and anger management classes…..great mother my behind. She’s a poor example of a mother and a human.

  • Melinda

    They are both children. Kate with her idiotic control issues not caring whether she is behaving this way in front of her children that she claims to love so much. BS. At least Jon has always loved them. They are possessions to Kate.

  • Viewer

    She left the van running and walked off, what an irresponsible idiot. Always looking out for her own well being and not others

  • Avid Reader

    and to think they had bought that property together 3 years ago, goes to show ya what fame and fortune can do to a family.

  • Go Away Gosselins

    Wow, those two will do anything for your photographers, won’t they? They could do this in the privacy of their driveway but that wouldn’t get them any press would it? What a pair of total famewhores. Miserable parents.

  • paige

    there not screaming because they know they will see her soon jon they rarley see

  • IreneS

    Did you Dad bring the paps and his girl friend to your Mom’s house when he came to pick you up? Jon an’t no saint.

  • Fame Ho

    Exactly@Go Away Gosselins, she claimed she spent all that money on trees to give her kids privacy but yet the dope calls the paps to take pictures of Jon picking up the kids at the end of the driveway. She does this cause she just loves staying relevant in the tabs.

  • Hate Khate

    She waves a quick bye with that germ infested pink cell phone, after all she may miss a text from nobody in what 10 mins max. Jon enters van and all the kids are excited, who is the better parent?

  • Fans need school..asap

    Oh Lord….her fans really need to go back to school. Sorry Irene and Paige whatever you are, please head to the library and read something other than rag blogs.

  • Joanne

    Amazing, isnt it? No screaming and crying. Smiling children, because they are going to DAD’S.

  • Juno

    Really Fame Ho? Just how do you know she called the paps? Kate ran off fast for someone wanting their picture taken.

  • Neena

    Juno, she’s teasing the paps. She has a love/love/hate relationship with them. She pretends to hate them, but would die without them. If she truly didn’t want her picture taken, she’d act like a grown-up and allow Jon to pick them up at the front door like a normal person.
    Why else does she get all dolled up in designer clothes, heals and full make-up and hair just to drive the kids to the end of the driveway? She’s a tease.

  • Lobo

    They both are childish as hell. Not speaking because Jon has a GF? Not allowed on the property because he dared introduce a girl to his kids? The twins haven’t been visiting. Maybe they got too close to the GF? Jon SHOULD have waited before introducing them to this girl, he really didn’t date her that long, BUT Kate is JEALOUS and needs to get a grip. SILLY PARENTS.

  • Lainey

    With all the nasty things that Jon has done to her, I don’t blame Kate for not talking to him. What good would it do? He’s such an idiot and has ruined any chance of them being civil to one another.

  • http://www.realhairextensions.org/ Kelsey

    Wow John chunked out! lol Go Kate! That’s some sweet revenge there.

  • Andrew

    Some of you people are way, way too caught up in the Gosselin’s lives, how odd. It’s pretty weird to be so caughtup in the private lives of total strangers, not to mention creepy and stalkerish.

  • Allie

    Kate is clearly the better parent, she didn’t get the kids all riled up before handing them over. Jon, on the other hand, uses his kids for his own evil devices, ugh.

  • ashley24

    They are so happy to be going to Dad’s place. So nice to see smiles and happy kids. Jon should have the house and primary custody. HE is the better more hands on, loving parent.

  • A MOM

    Kate would love to have a penthouse or big house in a gated LA hollywood area, be on TV full time, but that would blow her image as a good mother besides she gets paid because of the kids NOT her talent!!

  • Juno

    Neena, Kate had been running errands in town w/the twins. Jon saw his kids for one day. Your love/hate theory is laughable.
    No one knows the reason why Jon is not allowed on the property. You can guess that is because he allowed his gf to romp on Kate’s property when she was not home. But, it is only a guess. Kate has been keeping these personal details quiet.

    ——————————————————-
    The kids aren’t all “riled up” because they are getting away from Kate. They are probably so happy to see Jon. They get “riled up” knowing they have to return to their Mother’s iron fist.

    Kate is a not a nice person. She’s very immature. To turn around and walk away from a running vehicle with her 8 children sitting inside is just plain irresponsible! It only takes a split second for an accident to happen. WHat would have happened if she hadn’t put the car all the way in park? Do you really think she would run after a moving van? She’d blame Jon! How would the kids react if the van started rolling out into the street?

    What good does that do to snub Jon? He’s not much better. They BOTH need to learn how to communicate amicably for the sake of those EIGHT LITTLE FACES! What kind of message are they sending to their children when they behave this way? Not a very good one, if you ask me.

    GROW UP JON & KATE! GROW UP!!!

  • Melissa

    What a sad drop off. So unnecessary. Kate is so immature and selfish. A little civility towards the kids’ dad would be much appreciated by the kids…whether or not Kate feels he deserves it. (Obviously, her little pea brain can’t think of anything but herself)

  • http://www.infdaily.com Tabitha

    You hating know it alls…Jon used to be allowed on the property…and what did he do? He brought his girl pals over, plus the paps and had a picture taking frenzy. Also Jon took lots of food items from Kate’s house without permission. It is her home…she pays the mortgage…she obviously had good reason to change things about allowing Jon on the property. No one’s fault but his! Kate transitioned the kids smoothly and keep them private from the paps. Now who do you suppose called the pap that was filming?

  • http://www.infdaily.com Tabitha

    Jon is the playmate parent. He keeps them for a day or so. Kate is the parent that has to feed them, clothe them, make sure homework is done and all the million other things a responsible parent has to do. You people are nuts who think he is the better parent…its only fun time with Jon and when he tires of them he takes them home.

  • Shitty Parents

    The kids are doomed with two idiots for parents. Those two are so self absorbed with themselves that they forgot how many kids they have.

  • snickers

    To the posters who think Jon is so great, well tell him to get a job, and step up and show his kids that he can make a living to help support them without filming. He signed the papers so he would not have to WORK!!! Plain and simple. Kate, take the high road, say nothing to him, and then he can’t say you said anything to him. One way to hang Jon is give him a new rope. Always works in the real world.

  • PeggyP

    Actually, in the video clip, it’s clear that Kate turned & waited & actually waived at Jon before she walked away. He made no effort to engage her & never even looked in her direction. As for how the kids were reacting, we don’t know what got them upset in the prior video. We heard it because Jon left the van door open so that his pap buddy could record the sound and film the kids who were seated in the row at the door and were sitting ducks to be videotaped until Jon got tired of it and yelled at the kids, not the pap, to stop it. On this clip, I hope everything was fine, but we can’t know what was happening because, unlike Jon, Kate didn’t give the pap the opportunity to get at the kids.

    BTW, anyone still feeling sorry for poor Jon; maybe if he sold his Mercedes (the logo is clear on the back of his vehicle) or, if he leases it, when the lease runs out, get a less expensive vehicle, and, if he hadn’t blown all that money living in NYC with Hailey, he might be able to afford more than a one bedroom apartment (which, unless it is a VERY unusual one-bedroom apartment means it has only one bathroom) for his time with his kids. Actually, if the reports are right, and he’s getting $70,000.00 a year from TLC, even without the money he’s squandered, he should be able to afford to rent at least a two bedroom apartment and, if he was willing to share a room with the boys, or sleep in a sofa bed or air mattress in the living room, at least the boys could be in one bedroom and the girls in the other. The twins are entering the tween years and personal privacy can be very important to kids, especially girls that age.

  • Lola B

    Hmmm for those who say Jon needs to get a job I ask does Kate have one? Kids should not be working to support their parents Kate has forced those kids to work all summer to support the lifestyle SHE wants As you can see they are very happy running in to their Dad’s oner bedroom. Kids don’t csre about big houses and fancy cars just being loved. Kate ecpressed no love towards those kids at all and I think resents them even since she is nothing without them.

    Looks like the fame F*ck has had more plastic surgery- to go along with her plastic personality…….. Somebody smack this pimp!

    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
    Oh please! the only thing those kids were screaming about was the fact that they finally got away from their, cough,cough MOTHER. They get the day off and don’t have to work for her mani/pedi’s or the house that she proclaims is’MINE! ALL MINE!’

  • Dee

    When is any media outlet going to FINALLY expose this grifter for what she is? She’s no different than the parents that raised her. They too like their freebies. Guess ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…’ Right Kate?

  • Csmom

    Tabitha — I must correct you on one very important point. KATE does NOT pay the mortgage. Her KIDS do!

  • Fran

    I still say Chris has taken residence in the Crooked house that they were grifted a year back. If he plays nice she might let him have a few of the organic eggs that they don’t eat right after he cleans out the chicken poop. =)

  • Barbara

    I think that Kate would have let Jon continue to stay at the house with the kids if Jon hadn’t screw it up with having sex with women in the house and having the paps on the property for photo opps. So many want to hate Kate for not letting Jon have his way but they are no longer a couple and Jon abused his family with his crazy antics far too long. Even now when he still has some fan support Jon won’t get a job and the kids are still sleeping on the floor. Some may not like Kate but she is the better parent. Jon thinks that he is owed something. He thinks he is too good to get a regular job. What a poor example he is for a man.

  • Barbara

    Another thing people say that Kate is living off her kids money and we all know that is a LIE. TLC pays Kate a salary and the kids have their own money. I think that some of Jons fans are still angry because Kate divorced Jon and he lost it all. That’s what happens when you aren’t responsible. Jon owes so many people money that he is afraid to get a job because if he does a LIEN can be placed on a part of that check. Jon will never amount to anything. If Kate hadn’t held him up while they were married Jon would have fell flat on his azz a long time ago. JON BLEW IT! JON MESSED UP THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME! JON WILL NEVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN! THIS IS YOUR FAULT JON GOSSELIN!

  • Barbara

    I don’t blame Kate she could never TRUST Jon ever. I would never let him back on the property until he acts more responsible. Will this MAN-CHILD ever grow up?

  • Bebe

    Barbara, do your homework. Kate gets 85% of what the salary, while the 8 kids have to split 15%. It should be the other way around! Kate is NOTHING without those kids. THEY support HER, which I find laughable. Whenever Kate tries to venture out on her own, she fails miserably. Need I remind everyone of DWTS, her latest book flop, the cookbook that never materialzed, etc.

    Face it, Kate finds no issue with riding the coattails of her children. That is revolting.

  • Jus Sayin

    Kate Gosselin would be out of work and on unemployment if Jon didn’t let her have her way and let TLC film them kids. TLC does not want Ms Gosselin, they want the kids. She has been hanging onto the kids coat tails since they were born. Say what ya want bout their father but remember one ittey bittey thing, the woman is no saint. I recall a story just over the weekend about her playing sand footsies with her bodyguard(boyfriend) while the nanny was tending to the kids.

  • Jus Sayin

    @BEBE, her cookbook flopped cause the recipes were from the back of cereal boxes.

  • Barbara

    Some of you fans are crazy. You act like the kids aren’t getting anything from both their salary and Kate’s. I guess you think that the mortgage doesn’t have to be paid. The kids go to PRIVATE SCHOOL. They have to have a place to live. Food to eat. Clothes and so on and on. Clearly Kate is doing the RIGHT THING by the kids. Jon won’t even purchase a decent place to live for his kids visits or beds for the kids to sleep on. THE KIDS SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.Sad many woman have learned to accept bad behavior from men. Sad so many women think that Jon’s behavior was ok. What do you do when you are a strong WOMEN with a ver WEAK partner. Kate had a lot of kids and no real MAN to help her.Jon is a LOSER. He is a WEAK person. Jon can’t take care of himself. Get real. Kate better keep on working. The kids need to be taken care of. Jon thinks he is too good to work a job. If Jon was in the driver’s seat None of you would have a thing to say.

  • Bebe

    Lol, Jus Sanyin. And she claimed she “invented” the flag cake she made for one 4th of July episodes. (If you’ll recall, she only let the girls decorate the cake with her, but flatly refused to allow the boys to help). “Invented” my big toe. My mama’s been making that since I was six years old lol!

  • snickers

    Just sayin——without the kids, Jon would be in the street instead of a plush apt sitting tweeting on a couch all day. karma does come back home and Jon got a pot full of it.

  • snickers

    Bebe, and Jon invented tweeting for a living. LOL

  • Bebe

    Which is it? A plush apartment, or an indecent place?

  • Bebe

    Barbara, keep on contradicting yourself. Jon doesn’t live in a decent place, he makes the kids sleep on the floor, etc. How INTERESTING that the kids were hysterical and upset to trade sleeping bags in a loving parent’s home for cozy beds in their mansion.

    Can’t believe people believe money and material possessions equals happiness. Obviously, for those kids, it does NOT.

    Sorry Bebe, WordPress’ comment filters are very strict, and somewhat random. Unfortunately I’ve had to make them even tighter because all sorts of things in the comments can trigger Google AdSense to shut down. So if you guys see your comments not showing up, it’s nothing personal, there’s just something in there that’s caused them to go to moderation or Spam. I try to keep my eye on them and approve them asap, but sometimes there’s a bit of a lag just depending on the workflow that. Once in a while things also get sent to Spam, and while I try to keep an eye on that folder as well, it’s so congested that it’s hard to fish things out.

    Barbara, interesting that when the kids leave the loving parent’s home (where they, as you say, sleep on the floor) they get so upset. It’s not till they get home to their cozy beds and mansion that they scream and cry hysterically. Money and possesions doesn’t equal happiness, and those kids know it.
