Jon & Kate Plus 8 Star’s Fans Show Support After Heartbreaking Post About Family

“Jon & Kate Plus 8” was a reality TV show that followed the lives of Jon Gosselin and his then-wife, Kate Gosselin. The former couple are parents to eight children, but it was after the birth of their sextuplets that media interest in the family increased.

Collin Gosselin Makes Emotional Post About His Siblings

Collin Gosselin, one of the sextuplets, has a difficult relationship with his mother and is estranged from her, Parade reports. This has also created a complicated dynamic between him and his other siblings, Mady, Cara, Joel, Aaden, Leah, and Alexis, who live with her. However, he remains close to Hannah, who later moved to live with him and their father.

Collin made an emotional post on TikTok on August 7, 2025. The post contains two photos; the first is a throwback picture from when he was a child, and he poses alongside all seven of his siblings. The text overlay on the photo reads, “Born to be a team, us against the world…”

The second photo shows Collin on his own, and the picture appears to have been taken while he is driving in a car. The text overlay on this photo reads, “Forced to do it alone, and wonder everyday what our lives could have looked like.”

In the caption of the post, Collin shared his thoughts. “Forced apart, pitted against each other. All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids? I will always love them more than anything. The tears I shed behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could have shared. I love you guys…”
