Collin Gosselin isn’t keeping any secrets when it comes to family dynamics.
After Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin’s son shared that he was “forced apart” from his siblings, including his fellow sextuplets Hannah Gosselin, Aedan Gosselin, Joel Gosselin, Leah Gosselin and Alexis Gosselin, he expanded on where they all stand with each other.
“Unfortunately, I don’t talk to my siblings,” Collin shared in a TikTok Live Aug. 20, per People, “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.”
Still, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum—who is also younger brother to twin sisters Mady Gosselin and Cara Gosselin, both 24—explained why he continues to speak out about the schism he feels in his family, noting he uses his social media as “a journal to make videos and hope they see them.”
And, as always, Collin did admit he still has a relationship with his sister Hannah, who was the only other Gosselin sibling to live with dad Jon as a minor.

“I actually just texted her today,” Collin explained. “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.”
Collin’s update comes just over a week after he shared a cryptic post on TikTok alongside old photos of the Gosselin children.
“Born to be a team, us against the world,” read text over the photo in the Aug. 8 video. “Forced to do it alone, and wonder everyday what our lives could’ve looked like.”
Underneath the photo, the 21-year-old also appeared to criticize his parents’ choice to put them on TV from such a young age, with the family’s TLC show premiering when the sextuplets were only 2.

“Forced apart, pitted against each other,” Collin wrote in the caption. “All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?”
Although Collin maintains a relationship with his dad Jon, he has said before that he is also estranged from mom Kate, and believes she drove him apart from his siblings.
For her part, Kate responded to a comment who linked Collin’s Aug. 8 TikTok on her own Aug. 10 video, writing alongside a crying emoji, “He knows why.”
