## Transcript

>> Jon Gosselin admits to getting snipped.

>> Do you want more kids?

>> Did you get fixed?

>> No, we can't have more kids. Yeah, I'm fixed and Liz is fixed.

>> Makes sense. 8 is probably enough. Liz would be Gosselin's girlfriend Liz Jannetta with whom he is currently starring on VH1's Couples Therapy. She has 3 kids of her own. Wendy Williams asked Gosselin if they were doing the VH1 reality show so they could work out their issues before marriage.

>> I like the thought of marriage and you know, like when you see cute old couples through Central Park.

>> Oh yeah.

>> So sounds like a solid maybe. What Jon was adamant about was that he does not want his kids back on reality TV. He told [ unk ] Where Are They Now that he blames Jon & Kate Plus 8 for a lot of their issues.

>> They have problems with their peers. They have problems with talking to other people. They have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what's right and what's wrong of course.

>> But if Gosselin's ex Kate has her say, she and the kids will be back on TV soon. Here's what she told Entertainment Tonight about their TLC contract finally coming to an end back in September.

>> I'll be completely free to sign on for really anything as well as the kids who, yes, would like to do TV again.

>> And when 13 year old twins Mady and Cara sat down with People for a new interview with their mom, they seemed open to the idea of returning to the genre that made their family famous. " People expect us to be damaged ," Cara says as Maddie joins in. " People think we're supposed to be messed up, like, oooh, the poor Gosselin kids. They're going to be scarred for life. Here's the big news: we're not messed up ." For Time, I'm Bryce Sander.
