Kate Gosselin enlisted son Aaden in her latest TikTok livestream, where they reminisced about filming Jon & Kate Plus 8 as a family.
“I would love to see my reaction to our show, actually,” Kate, 50, said in the live footage, which she shared via her TikTok feed one week later on Thursday, August 21. “I’d just cry the whole time.”
Kate and then-husband Jon Gosselin documented their home life with eight children on their TLC series from 2007 to 2009. Kate and Jon, who divorced in 2009, share twins Mady and Cara, both 24, and sextuplets Hannah, Alexis, Leah, Joel, Aaden and Collin, all 21.
In her recent social media video, Kate specifically asked Aaden about his favorite memories from working on the show.

“What is my favorite memory?” Aaden replied. “Probably any time we went to Wyoming. That was really fun.”
While Aaden was a man of few words on the livestream, Kate offered insight into his personality.
“He’s very chill. He’s just a laid-back guy,” she added, noting she sometimes “slips” and refers to her 21-year-olds as “the little kids” as she once did on TV. “I do occasionally slip, but I don’t [intend to]. You know what I mean.”
After Kate and Jon’s split, the TLC series was rebranded as Kate Plus 8 and followed Kate’s life as a single parent. She is now estranged from son Collin.
“Unfortunately, it’s just not something that is easy for me to talk about,” Collin said in a Wednesday, August 20, TikTok video. “As you can see, I don’t post on Instagram [and] 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.”

He added, “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.”
Years after Jon and Kate’s divorce, Collin and Hannah opted to move in with their dad while the rest of their siblings relocated to North Carolina with Kate. All eight children now live independently in their early adulthood.
“[The sextuplets] go to college closer to home, which is nice,” Kate said in a recent TikTok video, comparing the younger kids’ move to Mady and Cara’s years prior. “It was a little easier because they could come home on the weekends. It didn’t feel so final. By then, I already had a trial run of kids leaving home.”
