RE: Will I only get males?
It's like a coin toss each time they have a kitten. Heads it's a girl, Tails it's a boy, at random.
According to "science," it makes no difference whether you break them up or not -- that coin toss will always give the same 50 percent chance of making a boy, even if you have already gotten 11 boys from each of the parents. The 11 boys in the past will not give a better chance of 1 girl in the future. I've had kitties in the past that made, say, 11 males out of 12 kittens over its lifetime. Rare but ... it happens.
According to "un-science" -- gut feelings, superstition, lore, fantasy, and dreams, breaking them up might actually do something ... break a curse, un-jinx a jinx, or maybe make the partners a little "happier" with their mates. There really are times when ... you happen to create a pairing that is just "golden," where cats that used to make mediocre boxes are suddenly making stellar boxes after joining with their "soul-mates." At such times, it's hard to believe that a cat isn't "happier with its mate" than before.
It just all depends on how you feel/think about the kitties, whether to choose science or magic (or a combination of the two) as your guide.
