Collin Gosselin Breaks Silence on Family Rift and Estranged Siblings
Kai Montgomery here, reluctantly diving into another messy family saga that’s somehow both exhausting and oddly fascinating. If you thought the Gosselins were done being tabloid fodder after their reality show drama, think again. The soap opera just got a new season.
Collin Gosselin, 21, has been vocal about his fractured relationship with most of his siblings—yes, all of them—and he’s not holding back. In a recent TikTok Live on August 20, as reported by People, Collin made it clear that the estrangement isn’t just awkward—it’s painful. “Unfortunately, I don’t talk to my siblings,” he said, adding that he wishes they could get to know each other for who they really are, rather than through whatever lens their childhood TV fame created.
Let’s recap: Collin is one of six sextuplets born to Kate and Jon Gosselin, alongside Hannah, Aedan, Joel, Leah, and Alexis. He also has twin sisters, Mady and Cara, who are now 24. But despite growing up in the spotlight together, Collin says he barely has contact with most of them.
The only sibling he keeps in regular touch with? Hannah. The two lived with Jon during their teenage years, which might explain why their bond remains intact. “I actually just texted her today,” Collin shared, noting that Hannah is currently in college and busy living her life. “We catch up when we can.”
But for the rest? Crickets.
In a cryptic TikTok posted earlier in August, Collin captioned an old family photo with the words, “Born to be a team, us against the world. Forced to do it alone…” He didn’t mince words when addressing what he sees as the root of the problem: the early exposure to fame. “All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?” he wrote.
Collin has previously accused his parents—especially Kate—of driving a wedge between him and his siblings. While he maintains a relationship with Jon, he’s cut off from Kate and believes she played a role in isolating him from the others. When someone linked Collin’s TikTok post in a comment on Kate’s Instagram video, she responded simply with a crying emoji and the words, “He knows why.”
So where does that leave the Gosselin siblings now?
Hannah celebrated her 21st birthday earlier this year with Jon and his fiancée Stephanie Lebo. Meanwhile, Kate posted pictures of Alexis, Aaden, Joel, and Leah celebrating their milestone together. Collin was notably absent from both celebrations.
Back in 2023, Jon shared graduation photos of Collin and Hannah, marking a rare public moment of pride amid the dysfunction. And while Kate waxed poetic about watching her children grow up, posting sentimental messages like “No more teenagers in this house!” and calling them her “forever babies,” Collin’s silence in those posts speaks volumes.
This isn’t just a case of sibling rivalry or growing apart. It’s a full-on emotional fallout from a childhood spent under the media microscope, and it seems no one has fully escaped unscathed.
So, what happens next? That’s the million-dollar question. With tensions still simmering and no signs of reconciliation, the Gosselin family tree looks more like a tangled mess of branches than a unified whole. Whether Collin’s social media confessions will lead to healing—or more headlines—remains to be seen.
Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so.
