launched in 2007, becoming one of TLC’s highest-rated programs, the couple at its center became a point of gossipy fascination.

The pair’s troubled marriage, which eventually ended in divorce in 2009, brought in millions of viewers who could not resist seeing what would happen to the family that had fascinated them for years.
