Collin Gosselin‘s relationship with his seven siblings has been strained since he moved in with their father, Jon Gosselin, in late 2018.
“I have not spoken with my siblings in probably five or six years now,” Collin told Entertainment Tonight in November 2022, adding that the estrangement has been “tough” for him to navigate. “I haven’t reached out to them, they haven’t reached out to me. I want to respect their space and their time and respect how they feel about everything, so I’m kind of just waiting for the day that they reach out. … I don’t want to invade their space. I’d rather just let them do it on their own terms.”
Two years after Jon and now-ex Kate Gosselin welcomed twin daughters Cara and Mady in 2002, the former nurse gave birth to sextuplets Alexis, Collin, Joel, Hannah, Leah and Aaden in 2004. After starring on several Discovery Plus specials, the family rose to fame with TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8, which chronicled the ups and downs of raising a big family. Kate ultimately filed for divorce in 2009.
Though Kate was awarded full custody of all eight children in the divorce decree, news broke in February 2018 that Hannah was living with Jon. In December of that year, he was also granted sole custody of Collin, who had been placed in a residential program for kids with behavioral problems two years earlier.
