Aaden Gosselin, 21, Makes Rare Online Appearance and Opens Up about Reality Television Past

Many fans may remember Aaden Gosselin as one of the sextuplets from the once incredibly popular reality television show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. Aaden and the rest of his siblings grew up in the public eye for a total of 11 seasons. Following the split and ultimate divorce of Jon and Kate, the show would later be retitled Kate Plus 8. However, when the show was taken off air in 2017, the children remained almost fully out of the public eye… that is, until now.

Kate has recently returned to social media by posting on TikTok on a regular basis. Several of her children have joined her for her videos, including, most recently, Aaden.

During a recent TikTok live, Aaden sat beside his mother as they joked around and responded to comments. Now 21 years old, Aaden looks quite a bit different from the young boy fans remember growing up watching on television. However, his calm personality remains the same.

“He’s very chill. He’s just a laid-back guy,” Kate explained.

During the live, Aaden looked back at his time on reality television and reflected upon some of his favorite memories from the show.

Aaden recalled his best memories as “probably anytime [they] went to Wyoming” on a trip. “That was really fun,” he said.

The particular memory he is referring to is when the family went to visit a dude ranch. The trip took place after Jon had already left the show.

Kate remains on good terms with all of her eight children except for Collin, who previously accused her of abuse. Collin has not been in contact with any of his siblings aside from Hannah for many years.

Despite the controversy surrounding her in the past, many people have welcomed Kate back to social media with open arms.
