Kate Gosselin gave her first big interview to the "Today" show since her divorce announcement, saying tearfully that the split from husband Jon was "necessary," and that she's doing "as well as can be expected." Though Meredith Vieira tried to pin her down on the timeline of the split -- Jon last week said that his wife told him their marriage was over in October -- Kate remained purposefully vague. Though she says their decision to split was "very mutual," she also says "clearly we both have completely different takes on what happened between us, but I feel like the details of that for the sake of my kids need to remain private." She did deny telling her husband that she wanted out of their marriage last year, but couldn't remember when Jon has actually moved of the house.
She did say she was "shocked" at Jon's recent revelation that he started up a relationship with Hailey Glassman back in May, right around the time Kate was telling interviewers that she and Jon were still trying to "weather the storm." Kate also says that she's still wearing her wedding ring so as not to upset her children, but she also says she's told the children about the split, and that the older girls at least seem to understand that she and Jon are not going to get back to together.
