Gosselin said the end of the show is 'the end of an era'

Kate Gosselin recently admitted that she was “freaking out” that her TLC show Kate Plus 8 has been canceled, leaving her with an unknown future.

Her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, has publicly advised her to return to a normal life, but the mother of eight appeared on the Today show Monday morning to reveal plans to the contrary.

Kate told host Matt Lauer that she and her brood will be keeping the public in touch with their lives with a website. "KatePlusMy8.com goes live together as a place where fans can go and follow us, so we're not just sort of ending," she revealed, The Hollywood Reporter writes.

She went on to explain how she prepared for the cancelation, which she found out in August. “I got a call from TLC and I knew we were in the deciding place… and so it was not a surprise. Obviously ratings and everything else… so I braced myself and here we are," she said.

Kate does admit there is “some relief” that comes with the end of the show, "But there is sadness because it's the end of an era. I feel sad for my kids because of all the opportunities and they're now questioning what's going to happen. I feel sad for fans. They're devastated: You're the neighbor that's moving far away and we won't see you again.”

She continued, “There's also been this fear because this has been -- although maybe not my career -- my job, and the way I've been providing for my kids for six years. So, you know, it's a little scary."

USA Today reports that she even responded to Jon’s recent public statements to her to stay off of television. “Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job. I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities, not unlike every parent,” she said. “I think to be a good parent is to work as hard as you can and get the best opportunities in life."
