While Jon and Kate Gosselin, stars of TLC’s reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” put up a united front for their sextuplets’ fifth birthday party May 17, the family’s neighbors were dishing to reporters about the state of the Gosselin union.

Sheilah Jones lives near the Gosselins’ Pennsylvania home, and says that the couple, who are dealing with the aftershocks of cheating allegations, are staying together only for the generous paychecks that come from doing the show.

“I would say they’re definitely only staying together for the money,” Jones told Life & Style. “A lot of people around town say that’s what their relationship has been about for a while. People think the two of them — Kate especially — are in it for the publicity and money.”

The show reportedly pays upwards of $25,000 per episode, and the new season is set to premiere on TLC May 25.

The network just sent out screeners of season premieres of its shows, and “Jon & Kate Plus 8” was not among them. Thanks to the family scandal, producers were left reworking the first episode to accommodate.
