Well, it had to happen eventually.

After spending the summer looking after the Plus 8, Jon and Kate Gosselin looked like two lonely figures as they waved off their entire brood this morning.

Yesterday their eldest kids went back to school.

And today the sextuplets also jumped on the school bus.

Jon and Kate kissed them all goodbye, but then they went their separate ways, texting on their phones and not even exchanging a glance at each other.

No doubt their reality TV show will roll on, but it's still a very sad end to 10 years of marriage.
