Almost two months after she announced her separation from , "" star said that she still loves him and wears her wedding band. Kate did an interview with Meredith Viera on "TODAY", spilling about her life after the turmoil and how it has changed the whole family.

Kate said what happened between her and Jon would happen eventually with or without the publicity, stating that their divorce is not the product of their reality show. When asked whether she still has feelings for Jon, Kate said, "When I think back to the Jon that I knew, yes."

At some point of the conversation, Kate broke down in tears. Viera asked her why she is still seen with her wedding ring. "For them," she said in reference to her eight children. "I don't want to upset them." Kate also addressed her statement that she still wakes up feeling like a failure. "This is not what any mother sets out for their children. It's necessary. It has to take place. I think I've turned the focus on myself," she explained.

The issue of her affair with her chief of security was also discussed with Kate denying any sort of cheating. "There is no affair. There never has been an affair," Kate stated firmly. "We are very, very good friends with him, his wife and his family. They are huge social support. It's just another crazy rumor. It sells tabloids."

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" still airs every Mondays on TLC. Kate believes the show has helped her kids to have a trust fund for college.

Jon Gosselin was also scheduled to have his first interview after the separation with E! but it was canceled. "The interview with Jon Gosselin originally scheduled for tonight�s (August 10) E! News has been canceled,� a spokesperson for E! said in a statement.

Kate should have octomom move in and be her maid. Scrub her kitchen floor 3x a day on her hands and knees. Kate is better than everyone else/ she needs to be prayed to. Everyone should be in awe and send her all their money. K8 is so gr8 she can be photographed with her a$$ hanging out her bathing suit and chunky chunk legs.

If Kate was so smart she never should have married a KOREAN guy. Everyone knows korean men don't care. And Jon clearly doesn't give a sh**. I can't watch the show/ It's so BORING and ANNOYING with all those kids screaming and whining. yes, they're just being kids but we don't have to be their audience. Kate is such a self-centered narcissistic B****. Jon is a chubby loser. the show is NAUSEATING ugghhhhhh mind numb BORING

Of course Kate appeared to be a b!^ch...who wouldn't with a child for a husband? Each day you wake knowing you have to guide, mold and teach your children. You expect your husband to be beside you. You don't expect to have to guide your husband through life along side your children. She obviously wasn't a b!^ch when they met...she became what he made her.

You know, all you see is Kate with the kids being a consistant parent. Jon is wining about being the bad guy. Well all I see is photos of him and some new young girl. Well if it looks like a dog and barks like a dog - its a DOG! Kate may have been a bit bitchy at times, but please, does she deserve to be left with 8 kids so Jon can go be a college kid again? One day he will look back on this an regret it because his kids will always have google. Shame on you Jon!

Well we are in the U.S. whatever can make you$$$ specially with an army of kids to support whatever. Besides what her husband did is wrong he didnt even think about the pain he is causing his babies.

I am sad for Kate and the kids.

I am heartbroken that this relationship could not be worked out and strengthened. It appears that one of them (presumably Jon) took another as his partner (intimately) and that broke the covenant between them.I hope this helps illuminate to many men (and women)the permanence of this action.

She is so fake and is milking this tragedy for every cent that she can.

I hope no one gets married to get divorced. I have children and the one thing I tried to remember raising them was that some day they would grow up and leave home and the life they would leave behind would be the wonderful family life that my husband and I had built together through good times and bad. The life that they would go to would be one that emulated what we had. Couples have to remember that when your kids are grown and gone all you will have left is each other. So don't sacrifice your marriage for your children, thats just dump! The more you put into the marriage the happier the children will be. All children want is that their parents are together. To be happy together requires mutual respect and appreciation. I never really felt Kate gave that to Jon. You are clearly #1 and He was clearly #10! I pray for your kids.

I totally agree with you! Mid life crisis or what! She was raising 9 kids...funny how he wants his "freedom" after the hard work is done and there are no more diaper to change!

I always thought Kate was a b@#$%, but Jon has absolutley without a doubt proven to me that Kate was raising 9 kids and not 8. He is sooo imature it is not funny, HE is the one making her look like a saint and himself like a ass now. She is amazing and I admire her A LOT!! Thank gawd the kids have one mature parent. Have fun acting like a 20 year old jon, you kids will never forget this behavior by you. P.S the earings look ridiculous!
