Move Over, Jon and Kate: The Masche Sextuplets Are Back
Making a bid to become America’s new favorite supersize family, the Masches hit New York in a publicity event for the return of their TV show, Raising Sextuplets, which returns to We in June.
Brian and Jenny Mache took their six toddlers–Bailey, Savannah, Molli, Grant, Blake and Cole–to Times Square, where they hit the Hershey’s chocolate store. (Six kids on a sugar high: Wow.) Like others before them who have juggled a small army of children, the Maches seem to be using a few familiar strategies for corralling their kids. First starters, they went all ‘Gosselin’ in matching outfits, with the girls wearing aqua skirt ensembles and the boys in head-to-toe gray. They also employ a stroller caravan, although rather than use an Octomom-style quadruple seater, they put the six in three double strollers.
I’m not really sure how many reality TV shows about raising sextuplets we need, and I can’t say I’m not a little nervous that we might find ourselves with another Jon and Kate situation on our hands. On the other hand, these kids sure are cute. More photos of the Masche six storming Manhattan on the next page.

[...] fever all night. Oh, and last night at 3am, while I was up feeding G, I turned on a show called “Raising Sextuplets” for about 20 minutes, after which I felt a lot better rested. Just watching those folks manage one [...]

These are a christian couple trying to make their way in this world and not whinning about everything. They work hard and I will enjoy watching them,every chance I get. Love your show and wetv. thanks
Monica Phillips commented on Jun 27 10 at 11:20 pmI used to agree with the comment above until I watched this week and Brian called Jenny a “retard.” It’s Jon and Kate all over again. They need to tell the cameras to go live with less material things. The kids will be much happier!
Lisa commented on Jul 02 10 at 11:30 pmMy admiration for Jenny is boundless. Brian? Am I the only one that see’s him as spoiled, selfish and totally interested in what is best for him? Why do men think that if they say, “Oh, I’m not really the best at taking care of my kids, but their mother is really good at the job,” then that makes their refusal to share the load okay? Sorry – would love to watch what happens to this family, but can’t take any more of Brian.
Roberta Belle commented on Jul 03 10 at 10:28 amI pray that this family does not go the way of Jon & Kate….Brian needs more patience and needs to help Jennie out a more than he does
Gail Jean commented on Jul 12 10 at 9:03 amBrian is an impatient man, but Jenny and Brian are no Jon and Kate. Kate on her new show, which I watched once and only once, is still the same rich (now) PRIMA DONA as she always was. The kids have cars!? That is nutz. She thinks she is a movie star!? At least Jenny and Brian are real. The cribs didn’t match. Kate turned down cribs because they didn’t. Totally different people. Can you see Kate moving like the Masche’s did? Or any of their families helping like Jenny and Brian’s families? I don’t like to even see their names sullied by comparing them to Jon and Kate. I hope the very best for the Masche’s. It appears to me they could use a couple breaks. The stresses they have are just incomparable to J&K&kids. I think Brian will lighten up when he gets a job and they are under less stress and Jenny has more off time. Unlike the prima dona Kate, she works a long week besides being a parent of 6 babies. I really enjoy the Masche’s show and will continue watching.
AKZ commented on Jul 23 10 at 8:33 amComparing this to Jon and Kate is absurd, really. For one, Jenny does nothing but try to remedy the divide between her and her husband, and only looks out for the best interest of her children. But most importantly, Brian seems to be more than impatient and rude, I think he could easily be labeled as aggressive and mentally abusive. And is there any reason he grins during almost all of the show, even while they are arguing? If I were her I would move back to Arizona to be with my family, not including my husband.
Denise commented on Jul 24 10 at 10:37 pmBrian Masche is an even bigger jerk than Jon Gosselin, and I can’t believe Jenny would leave her family and move across the country with this idiot as her only support. She should save time and divorce him now; guaranteed it will happen in the next 5 years.
Mary commented on Jul 25 10 at 8:26 pmSomehow I dont dislike loser Jon Gosselin as much as I do Brian Mache. I bet he doesnt even think he’s doing anything wrong when he calls his wife “retarded” on national TV. Come on Jenny…You can do so much better than that
Carrie commented on Jul 25 10 at 10:35 pmOmg!!!!! Brian is such an Ass!!! It makes me sick I’m waiting for the day he gives her a black eye or worse!! Jenny said one thing about how he got to do everything and Brian got mad and jennys first reaction is to go oh did I say something wrong I’m so sorry! What is that you can tell she is scared of him when he is mad!! I would be too above is right in 5 years she will see what we see! I just hope it doesn’t take him hurting her or the kids to realize it!
Carol commented on Jul 26 10 at 1:07 pmI hope that Bryan took a good look at last week’s show and realized what an ass he really is..I don’t know how much more of his stupid immature behavior I’ll care to watch.. Maybe if he’d lose some weight and not look like such a fat slob he’d feel better about his inferiority to Jenny….
sarah commented on Jul 26 10 at 2:15 pmbrian is the biggest jerk i have ever seen in my life and i would be thoroughly depressed if i were married to him.
Sandy Walbolt commented on Jul 29 10 at 10:15 pmBryan is a twit. He might work well with Kate
Marlene commented on Jul 29 10 at 10:50 pmBrian is a self serving fat ungrateful ungracious slob. Who in the world would move a family of 8 clear accross the US from family than can help them for what? He doesn’t have a job!!! He has a “speculative income”….and his wife is just as dumb as he is for going along with it!!!
Chantal commented on Jul 30 10 at 12:09 amI just love how people say Bryan is mean and all of that. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS PROBLEMS. The difference? Most marriages aren’t televised. We can sit here and pick apart everything they say and do. Someone is always going to have a problem with the way you live your life. I love Bryan (pretty sure his name is spelled with a y) and Jenny, and I fully believe they can make it. I don’t believe the move was a mistake, because they thought things through and you can’t live your life for other people. If they fail, then they go back and think of a new plan. Sitting there and thinking “What if?” for the rest of your life is not better. I see the love that they have and, just like any marriage, they have their struggles. We’ve all said something mean to a spouse, parent, or friend, but we don’t have America constantly critiquing everything we do. They’re human just like us and I’m rooting for them all the way.
Housewife commented on Jul 31 10 at 12:45 pmUm no, this is not just a case of “we all say things we don’t mean sometimes”. It is clear that Jenny married waaaay beneath her. I mean, he’s not even in the same ballpark with her. I hope she finds someone better suited to her class, character and ultimately her sophistication. He was raised in a barn
mmincinci commented on Jul 31 10 at 9:45 pmBryan is downright verbally and emotionally abusive. If Jenny doesn’t constantly massage his ego he becomes enraged and abusive. I feel sorry for her. She looks/acts so downtrodden,
kman commented on Aug 01 10 at 8:30 pmI liked this show during the first season. I thought Jenny was so sweet and Bryan was so nice. Now, it seems like having multiples have really taken its toll. Bryan is just constantly mean and belittling. He just reacts with such nasty comments it is hard to watch now. I didn’t like the episode when he flipped out and screamed “just get these kids OUT OF HERE” and so on. Does he not think that the kids pick up on this? I realize that every marriage has its ups and downs but watching the two of them together is just painful. It sounds like HE is the one who really wanted to move and be alone w/ Jenny and the kids so they could reconnect. She seems to go along with it to save her marriage but at what cost? How sad for the grandparents. I also didn’t like how he expected his parents to just follow him and move across the country! I thought the grandfather had a good point..he has other grandkids and he treats them equal. Just because this dope decides to uproot and move, doesn’t mean the whole family has to follow. I hope that they can mend their marriage and survive but watching this last season, it looks like they have a lot of work ahead of them. I hope Bryan grows up and learns to watch that nasty tongue……
MS. SHAWN STEWART commented on Aug 02 10 at 7:31 pmOkay, so Bryan is a fairly typical male. And yes, he can be more than a little annoying with his selfish behavior. However, I find it interesting that NO ONE has commented on Jenny’s behavior! I love the show, but Jenny, BACK OFF! I would be annoyed and impatient too if someone treated me like I was one of the kids! Sorry Jenny, I really enjoy the show but I see it from Bryan’s perspective, relax a little! He is under just as much pressure as you are, your’s is just more obvious.
Annetta commented on Aug 03 10 at 4:03 pmI’ve just seen the show a couple of times, but that was enough to make me want to strangle Bryan; what a jerk! And Jenny runs around looking half scared of him, always seems afraid that she’s doing and saying the wrong thing. Dump the jerk, Jen!
wendy commented on Aug 03 10 at 6:12 pmWe all know marriage takes work, but when the wife says “when he gets aggressive I…” Are you kidding me? That is abuse no matter what anyone says. Seems like we have another Jon & Kate, but a role reversal with a male Kate! FYI Why would would they move the family away when we all know it takes a village to raise children!
Mraz commented on Aug 05 10 at 12:45 pmBryan needs to put on his big boy panties and start acting like an adult. This thirty something year old man acts as if he should be wearing pull ups! He is truely unbelievable, not in a positive way at all. Locking your child in a bathroon, never calling his children by a name (son), never wants to spent time with his family unless his HAS to. My opinion Bryan needs to get some anger management courses under his belt. He is verbally and emotionally abusive, and his childish ranting and raving is quite pathetic. His behavior is being seen by millions of viewers and this is how he wants to be portrayed. Also please stop staring into the cameras, their isnt anything that special about you
maggieblue commented on Aug 06 10 at 1:33 pmI just have to remark about the last episode where Jenny was trying to put the girls to bed and they were crying and carrying on and Bryan was putting the boys to bed and they behaved like angels and laid down and were very quiet. Did anyone else notice the spatula Bryan was holding while he was putting the kids to bed? Also note the comment one of them made about behaving or dad will put a spoon to your behind. Besides being selfish, childish, aggressive, and verbally abusive, it is clear that Bryan is also physically abusive to the children. I won’t be watching this program any more.
SusieB commented on Aug 07 10 at 2:21 pmI’m watching a marathon of the show now. I think it’s very different than Jon and Kate because this show seems much more about the parents then the children. They don’t show the kids nearly as much.
I keep wanting to reach through the TV to smack Bryan. He seems like such a jerk. When he called Jenny “retarded” I was shocked. If my husband spoke to me that way I’d let him know if he ever did it again it would be the last time. He only seems to think of himself and how he doesn’t want to work at a job he doesn’t like to support his family. Sorry man but sometimes that’s what a dad has to do. My dad spent 25 year working at a job that he didn’t really like in order to provide for his family. Bryan doesn’t seem to care that his choices are making life more difficult for everyone else in his family.
Jai Kay commented on Aug 07 10 at 8:11 pmBryan makes Kate Gosselin look like spouse of the year. Have fun with that Jenny.
Mary77 commented on Aug 08 10 at 8:33 amWhat is also scary (maybe more frightening) are the number of posters who think Bryan is “ok” and every marriage is “like that”.
Monica Rulon commented on Aug 11 10 at 1:04 pmAnyone else want to throw up everytime he talks about getting “a little” later because he was a good boy and did what a dad should be doing anyway? Doing what a dad should be doing does not entitle you to enslave your wife for sexual favors. BLECH!
Monica riffe commented on Aug 11 10 at 11:59 pmThank the Lord this is the last season. Jenny, go home to your fabulous parents & kick that idiot to the curb! You have seven children & the biggest one will virtually destroy any opportunity for success of those sweet babies you did birth. Your biological children need your protection from that so-called father!
Susan commented on Aug 12 10 at 5:34 pmFirst off I would like to point out that we are commenting on this couple’s lives as of we certified therapists, it it not our place to insult and degrade this family regardless of our personal opinions on what a husband and a man should do. Unlike most couples the Masches are actively making sure their marriage remains strong by going to marriage couselling where the doctor actually reviews footage and is completely aware of the two adults’ behavior. It is amusing to read that half of you actually think you know what is best for this family, or how far their love runs for one another which is obviously going strong. Yes, Bryan is not perfect nor does he pretend to be but they have a great family and great morals and while his rages not acceptable he does begin to acknowledge and attempt to be better for his family! Jenny and Bryan are under 6 times the stress and after following them for these 2 seasons I believe that they are doing an amazing job. Besides, who are we to judge when the divorce rate is ridiculously high nowadays and this couple actually honors the sanctity of marriage and yiuall have the nerve to throw stones at them? I think we all need to reexamine ourselves and how quickly we are be negative, we should get behind this family and root for their success. I am ashamed that most would rather bank on them falling apart. I however love this family as a whole, their dynamic is unique and strong and as every normal couple they have their little issues but I love how they prove love conquers all!
Susan commented on Aug 12 10 at 6:47 pmSorry for the misspellings typing super fast =)
Aisha commented on Aug 13 10 at 4:11 amI don’t think you have to be a therapist to realize calling your spouse a “retard” is just plain wrong. This man is sooo insecure and is very abusive to Jenny. Even the therapist that they had on the show recognized this!!
Marcia commented on Aug 14 10 at 12:16 pmBryan Masche is one of the most repulsive people I have ever seen on television. He is a fat, abusive jerk (what’s with those ugly skinny sideburns?) and a horrible father. What Jenny sees in him is beyond me. I have been married 32 years and if my husband EVER talked to me that way I would leave him–and my husband is much better looking and a thousand times more hardworking AND a million times a better father than Bryan. I hope this trainwreck show in cancelled.
Robun commented on Aug 18 10 at 5:56 pmBryan is a jerk…hopefully he will get better with therapy. She is working on setting limits for the way he will treat her in the future. He is definitely hard to watch.
pat commented on Aug 23 10 at 7:50 amOH MY GOD!!!! The famour pair has returned in disguise!!! Only the roles are reversed—maybe BRIAN should get implants and blonde hair–get rid of those ridiculous sideburns, sew up his rude mouth–and wave to Jenny and the kids as they fly back to ARIZONA!! Jennry-you are a Saint, a wonderful mother and you deserve a mate that will give you so much, much more–especially respect.
pat commented on Aug 23 10 at 12:53 pmAm I the only female that thinks Jenny should run, run, run as fast as she can with her six children and get back to Arizona as quick as she can?
Carla Donovan commented on Aug 25 10 at 2:03 pmI think they are both idiots. Bryan is an a typical unthinking conservative with a prissy speech imperdiment. Jennie loves it. In bed I bet she screams “beat me you fag-mouthed fat ass!!!”
Isabella commented on Sep 08 10 at 7:47 pmJust saw the show for the first time. They put in a garden and a swing set. Jenny seems very afraid of Bryan. It makes me nervous to watch his verbally abusive behavior. There is a big indication that he moved them far away from her support system – which is typical of an abusive husband. Now her parents and friends can not influence her or witness his awful behavior. If what we see in one hour of television is any kind of realistic portrayl of him, I shudder to think of the way he acts off camera. What a horrible role model for all of his children but especially his sons who will definitely start to treat their mother the same way their father does.
Yes – I agree that Jenny should run as fast as possible back to her parents – without Bryan.
I saw them on the Today Show when the children ran wild (which actually was a relief in comparison to the stifled appearance of the Gosselin sextuplets when they were on television) and thought I heard Jenny say that this is their last season on television. I’m worried for her.
Anne Marie commented on Sep 16 10 at 1:38 pmThis show is just appalling and an affront to every woman who has managed to escape domestic violence – and Bryan’s verbal and emotional abuse ARE domestic violence – and a disservice to those women who have not found the courage or the means to escape yet. Shame on the network for profiting from this!!
T commented on Sep 16 10 at 3:46 pmI think they are both idiots.
Carole commented on Sep 16 10 at 3:48 pmI have watched this show many times and find that Jennie is an intelligent, sweet, caring and loving wife and mother. On the other hand, Bryan is so nasty to his wife it is very hard to watch. I cannot believe that he says the things he does in front of a camera crew when normally you would think he would be on guard.I can’t imagine what must go on behind closed doors. He is spoiled and a big baby and needs to grow up. Not to mention how his nasty remarks to his loving wife and mother of his children make me sick. How could you move your entire family and not have any job? There again Jenny saves the day. He is pathetic and needs to put on his BIG BOY PANTIES.

Sara commented on Sep 17 10 at 10:11 amHmmmm, FYI, did anyone hear about Jenny heading our for a girls trip to CA and calling to meet up with her ex? Who happens to be married too with kids! Dont believe that act on TV all the time. Jenny was co-editor, nothing she didnt want shown aired.
Sara commented on Sep 17 10 at 10:12 amOh, and soon i’m sure they will release thenews that they have split and are back in AZ.

Dolores M Troup commented on Nov 07 10 at 5:06 pmWhen the family was moving from Ariz. to Fla. I don’t know which family should get idiots of the year with their nasty comments, Bryan’s family(his father i would like to have kicked him where the sun don’t shine)or Jenny’s parents. I’m sure they contributed to alot of their problems.
