On Monday night’s installment of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8, estranged couple Jon and Kate Gosselin opened their lives to fans for the first time since announcing their plans to divorce back in May.

The episodes marked the end of a hiatus that began after the Gosselins revealed that they were splitting to a record-breaking audience of 10.6 million viewers. The TLC Network immediately placed the show on hiatus, insisting the family needed time to “regroup.”
