‘Kids Came Home to Say Goodbye’

Kate Gosselin is giving fans a rare look at life with her kids.

The Jon and Kate Plus 8 alum, 50, shared a pair of images featuring two of her now-adult sons on TikTok on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

Kate, who shares her twin girls and sextuplets with ex-husband Jon Gosselin, uploaded a glimpse at her “first road trip” with her dog Meika. In the TikTok’s first image, two of Kate’s boys — presumably Aaden and Joel, both 21 — gave a hug to the dog before Kate loaded up her car.

“Kids came home to say goodbye,” Kate captioned the snap, before sharing a follow-up image of one of the two boys petting the pup on the floor.

“They tried to tell me they wouldn’t miss her… Suuuuuurrreee,” she captioned the second snap with a laughing emoji.

The remainder of the clip detailed what went down when Kate took both Meika and her other dog, Nanuq, on the road. It did not feature any more photos of her kids. (Kate is also mom to sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Collin, and Leah, as well as twin girls Mady and Cara, both 24.)

The video from Kate comes less than a month after Aaden made a rare social-media appearance on his mom’s TikTok live. In the footage, he emerged from his room and joined her on the couch as she interacted with fans. He also answered a fan who asked Kate what her favorite memory from Jon & Kate Plus 8 was.

“Probably any time we went to Wyoming. That was really fun, yeah,” he said.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired on TLC from 2007 to 2009, ending when Aaden was 5 years old.

Elsewhere during Aaden’s appearance on TikTok, Kate described her son as “very chill” and “a laidback guy” during the live. He became the second sextuplet shown on Kate’s account, after his sister Alexis was shown briefly in a video in early August, as she walked through the kitchen.

Kate has since shared that she was hoping to have several of her kids co-host a TikTok live with her.

Kate celebrated her sextuplets’ birthday in May by sharing snaps with four of her children.

Collin Gosselin, one of the sextuplets, opened up about his relationship with his siblings on his own account on Aug. 20, years after he and his sister Hannah chose to move in with their father following their parents’ divorce. As he explained, it was “not something that is easy for me to talk about.”

“As you can see, I don’t post on Instagram, I don’t post on TikTok much,” he said. “I’m still getting in the groove of things, but, you know, I’ve realized I love to share my videos with you guys,” Collin said.

“I look at it more like moving forward and just kind of sharing content, and also for like TikTok at least, unfortunately, I don’t talk to my siblings, and I very much wish that we did and that they knew who I actually was because we don’t know each other at all,” he added.

He added that he was using TikTok as “a journal to make videos and hope that they see them,” while also giving fans an update on Hannah. “I do still talk to Hannah,” Collin said. “I actually just texted her today, you know, she’s in college doing her thing. I always say, though, Hannah’s just very like living the life, you know, like having fun, always doing something, so we catch up when we can.”

At this time, Colin and Hannah are estranged from Kate. He had previously accused her of abuse during an interview with The Sun in 2024.

PEOPLE had reached out to Kate and her attorney, Richard Puleo, for comment at the time, but never received a response. However, Kate’s attorney told The Sun that he didn’t believe that his client had done anything to “intentionally harm” her son and that “she did what she did to protect herself and her family” from what he called “troubled behavior.”
