Kate and Jon Gosselin’s son Collin Gosselin is opening up about where he stands with his estranged siblings.
“Unfortunately, it’s just not something that is easy for me to talk about,” Collin, 21, said in the Wednesday, August 20, TikTok live video, per People. “As you can see, I don’t post on Instagram, I don’t post on TikTok much. I’m still getting in the groove of things, but, you know, I’ve realized I love to share my videos with you guys.”
Years after Jon and Kate got divorced in 2009, Collin and sister Hannah chose to move in with Jon while their other six siblings — fellow sextuplets, Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, 21, and twins Mady and Cara, 24 — went to North Carolina with their mom.
“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 continued.
Collin hopes his siblings were keeping up with his TikTok account, which he said he uses
as “a journal to make videos and hope that they see them.”
“It’s still a little tough to talk about these things and to do social media in general,” he shared, noting that he is still in contact with Hannah. “I do still talk to Hannah. 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.”
Jon and Kate became household names in the early 2000s with the premiere of their TLC show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, documenting their lives with eight children.
Collin previously accused Kate of being “physically aggressive” and “verbally” abusive to him as a child.
Collin and Hannah Gosselin’s allegations against their mom, Kate Gosselin, in the Vice documentary don’t sit well with their other siblings, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “The kids who live with Kate haven’t had much contact with Collin and his sister Hannah since they went to live with Jon […]
“It was rough. I definitely went through it a lot as a kid from my mother’s end. So, it was tough,” Collin alleged during an interview with The U.S. Sun in October 2024. “I just remember being isolated from my siblings and constantly taking the fall for her emotions or the tough things going on in her life.”
While Kate’s attorney Richard Puleo defended her in a statement, he declined to comment on Collin’s allegations. “She never wants to comment because she always knows that this gets taken out of context,” Puleo told Fox News at the time. “She doesn’t want to comment. Doesn’t need to. The record speaks for itself.”
Earlier this month, Collin shared an image of him with his seven siblings and claimed they were “forced apart” and “pitted against each other” after Jon and Kate’s separation.
“Born to be a team, us against the world,” he wrote. “Forced to do it alone and wonder every day what our lives could’ve looked like.”
Kate appeared to address his claims when a TikTok user shared a screenshot of Collin’s video in the comments section of her account. “He knows why,” she wrote, alongside a crying emoji.
