Kate Gosselin "horrified" by Jon behaviour

Kate Gosselin has admitted that she is "horrified" for her children following estranged husband Jon's behaviour since the pair announced their split in June.

The father-of-eight has faced criticism for his alleged partying and his new romance with 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, the daughter of Kate's cosmetic surgeon.

Speaking to People, she said: "I'm horrified for my kids. I'm just very disappointed. It has caused so much stress. I am so emotionally spent and he is so emotionally unavailable. And I worry, how in the world are my kids going to turn out?

"I don't care if [Hailey] were the most upstanding, marvellous, full-of-integrity person in the world. It is just too soon. It is too soon."

She added: "I didn't know if he had it in him to act like this. Call me crazy, but down deep I still have this hope that one morning, the phone will ring and it will be him, back to normal, just saying, 'How are you,' or even, 'Okay that was really weird, aliens overtook me, but now I'm back.'"

Jon recently admitted that he would always have feelings for his estranged wife despite his budding relationship with Glassman.
