What was Jon and Kate Gosselin's first meeting like after he humiliated her by parading his new 22-year-old girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, around Saint-Tropez? "It was icier than the Arctic," an onlooker, who saw them at their shared Wernersville, Pa., home on July 16, tells Life & Style. "The kids were clearly pleased to see their dad, but Kate wasn't."

Jon's been regularly escaping Kate's ire at his two bedroom apartment at the Alexandria on the Upper West Side in NYC. "I'd like to take the kids to see my new place, and to FAO Schwarz," the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad tells Life & Style. "They've been to New York City a bunch of times already, and they love it."

So does their father, but he hasn't found a favorite hangout just yet. "It's hard when everyone knows you," he says. "I won't go to the Village, the East Village or Soho!"

And although he's been leaving the parenting duties to Kate recently as he lives the high life with his new constant companion, Hailey, Jon was brushing up on his Mr. Mom skills in the Big Apple on July 20. "I have to go get a mop," he told Life & Style. "My place is all dusty!"

When Jon and Kate Gosselin announced their separation on June 22, they vowed to put their eight kids first. The couple even agreed to split their time at the Wernersville, Pa., house, with Kate living there during the week and Jon coming to take care of the children on weekends. But instead of looking after the 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets on Saturday, July 11, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad was catering to a 22-year-old: his new girlfriend, Hailey Glassman.

The cozy duo were spotted in St. Tropez, France, sipping champagne aboard Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's private yacht, lunching at Tahiti and shopping at the luxe Hermès and Prada boutiques. Jon, 32, appeared to have forgotten all about his family. "He was holding Hailey by the hand, carrying her purse and kissing her," says a witness. "Jon was very excited to be with her."

For Kate Gosselin, the $1.1 million 23-acre mansion she lives in isn't just a place to call home. Since she moved in with her family last year, it's become the center of her world. It's not only where she's been on 24-hour duty as the main caretaker for her eight young children, it's also her place of work, where the family shoots the reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8.

In the wake of her recent split from husband Jon, however, Kate has been forced to do what any mother would dread: leave her own home -- without her children.

Jon Gosselin looked like he didn't have a care in the world as he took time out from playing with the kids on June 21, Father's Day, to sign autographs for fans of Jon & Kate Plus 8 at his home in Wernersville, Pa. He joked about his dirty habit -- smoking cigarettes -- and about giving up going to clubs. "I learned my lesson," he cracked, referring to the trouble he got into recently with wife Kate after he stepped out with other women. He was blasé even when someone asked where Kate was on the special day. "I have no idea," he said with a shrug.

The reason Kate was nowhere in sight on Father's Day quickly became clear. The next day, Kate decided to end the couple's 10-year marriage, filing divorce papers at the Berks County Courthouse in Reading, Pa.

Brian Sep, a friend of reality-TV-star Jon Gosselin's for more than 15 years, confirms to Life & Style that Jon and his wife, Kate, have already begun living separate lives.

"Jon is planning on living and working in New York during the week and staying home with the kids on Friday, Saturday and Sunday while Kate is away," says Sep. "Jon hasn't said anything about getting divorced."

Even though Jon and Kate will be living apart, both parents want to be there for their eight children.

"Jon really seems like he's back to his old self," says Sep, who plans to visit his pal in New York City. "Whatever decision has been made, Jon seems to be at peace with it and in a good place. He doesn't know where Kate is when he's gone [but] I think that's okay with him."

Jon and Kate are expected to make a major announcement on tonight's installment of Jon and Kate Plus 8.

May 10 should have been a day of double celebration for the Gosselin family. Besides being Mother's Day, it also marked the 5th birthday of the Gosselin sextuplets, who star along with their 8-year-old twin sisters, Cara and Madelyn, and parents Jon and Kate on TLC's hit reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. But there has been little to celebrate in the Gosselin household recently in the wake of allegations that Jon, 32, cheated on Kate with a 23-year-old teacher, Deanna Hummel.

The accusations -- and Kate's comments about her husband -- are likely affecting the kids dramatically. Instead of going on talk shows and speaking out, Jon and Kate should be trying to keep life at home as normal as possible, advises Vicki Panaccione, a child psychologist who does not treat the Gosselins. "Whatever the kids are used to in terms of day-to-day structure, that should be kept up as much as possible," Panaccione tells Life & Style. "Otherwise, their foundation is going to be rocked."
