Two years older than Jon, Kate had filed for divorce in a Pennsylvania court. The same day she filed was the same day they announced it on their show.
In both their statements, the couple never revealed the cause of their divorce. However, Jon said that the six months leading up to the announcement had been a trying period.
Kate said she had tried to make Jon feel comfortable and happier since she made more money than him, but it wasn't working. After she filed, Kate revealed that it was Jon's decision and not hers.
She further revealed that he doesn't want to be married to her anymore. He hired a lawyer and asked her to do the same to end things. However, she also believes that their goals don't match anymore.
On telling their children, they had tried not to use words like "separation" and "divorce." However, one of the twins said she wasn't surprised by the announcement as she had guessed it would happen.
MISTRESS' REVELATIONS
Seven weeks after they announced, Kate took the time to shut down the rumors; she revealed that it felt strange taking off her ring.
However, Jon had gone back to his bachelor life. Kate said his goals were not her goals, and his decisions were not decisions she would make.
Even though a part of her still loved the Jon she once knew, she also believed that their marriage would have ended despite their reality show.
When Kate went on "Live With Regis and Kelly," Regis Philbin, the talk-show guru, predicted Kate and Jon would get back together. When Philbin asked if Kate would take Jon back, she said she couldn't answer that.
Shortly before their divorce announcements, Jon was said to have been in a relationship with Hailey Glassman. After Kate's interview, Glassman, who's ten years younger than Jon, killed speculations that her relationship with Jon had contributed to the divorce.
Glassman revealed that her relationship with Jon, whom she called her "first love," started while Jon stayed at her parents' house after separating from Kate.

TENSION GROWS
Before their divorce was finalized, Kate and Jon had agreed to rotate their time with the kids. Kate would leave the house while Jon was around and vice versa.
However, one day, when it was Jon's turn with the kids, Kate came home early because she had not approved of the babysitter Jon decided to use.
On her arrival, the gate was locked, and the couple reportedly argued near the fence. Their argument made their relationship worse, and at about 7 p.m., the police showed up.
As things got heated up between Jon and Kate, Glassman was also not having the best time in her relationship with Jon. Glassman accused Jon of cheating on her with tabloid reporter Kate Major.
Glassman said Jon had become a "monster" after denying his relationship with Major. Even though Glassman and Jon were still living together, she wanted him out of her life.
RANT WITH MISTRESS CONTINUES
Six months after Kate filed for divorce, their divorce was finalized, and Jon and Kate became legally single persons. Kate said she was relieved the process was over even though the transition was challenging.
At the same time, Jon's mistress and Jon were going through a rough time. Jon arrived at his West 72nd Street apartment and found that they had torn it to shreds.
A nasty note written by his ex-mistress, Glassman, was stabbed to their dresser with a butcher knife. In the note, Glassman had called Jon a "lowlife."
Jon then accused Glassman of tearing his clothes, ripping off his electronics, and smashing his family's 100-year-old Ming-style vase. She agreed that she had left the note but said she didn't stab it with a knife.
Glassman's lawyer believed it was a huge publicity stunt as there were reporters at the residence even before the police had arrived. However, Jon denies that it was a stunt.
