During the stream, Kate admitted she would likely be too emotional to rewatch the family\u2019s reality show, which documented life with her eight children from 2007 to 2009. \u201cI would love to see my reaction to our show, actually,\u201d Kate said. \u201cI\u2019d just cry the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked about his favorite memories from filming, Aaden chimed in with a simple but telling response. \u201cWhat is my favorite memory? Probably any time we went to Wyoming. That was really fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kate, who shares Aaden and his sextuplet siblings <strong>Hannah<\/strong>, <strong>Alexis<\/strong>,<strong> Leah<\/strong>, <strong>Joel<\/strong>, and<strong> Collin<\/strong>, along with twins <strong>Mady<\/strong> and<strong> Cara<\/strong>, with ex-husband <strong>Jon Gosselin<\/strong>, went on to describe her son as \u201cvery chill\u201d and \u201claid-back.\u201d She also admitted she sometimes slips into calling her adult kids \u201cthe little kids,\u201d just as she did when they were younger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Following Kate and Jon\u2019s split in 2009, the show was rebranded as Kate Plus 8 and focused on her life as a single mother. Today, her relationship with some of her children remains strained. Son Collin, who lives apart from his siblings, opened up on TikTok earlier this month <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/collin-gosselin-shuts-down-mom-132600254.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:about their estrangement;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">about their estrangement<\/a>, telling followers, \u201cUnfortunately, I don\u2019t talk to my siblings, and I very much wish that we did and that they knew who I actually was because we don\u2019t know each other at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Over the years, the family has taken different paths, with Hannah and Collin moving in with Jon, while Kate relocated to North Carolina with the rest of the children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/kate-gosselins-son-aaden-makes-rare-comment-growing-up-reality-tv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade<\/a> on Aug 22, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
