After ten years of marriage, eight children and one successful reality show, Jon and Kate Gosselin have filed initial divorce paperwork, according to a report.

The couple submitted documents for a legal separation at the Bucks County Courthouse in Reading, Pennsylvania on Monday, People magazine is reporting.

Jon was photographed on Sunday celebrating Father's Day with his children. Kate was not present.

A promo for the couple's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" reality show says the couple plans to announce "life-changing decisions" on a special episode on Monday night. The special one-hour episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" airs on TLC Monday at 9 p.m. (EST/PST).
