Collin Gosselin Pens Emotional Message to Estranged Siblings

The 21-year-old, whose childhood was televised on his family's reality show, dedicated a post on social media to his siblings — six of whom he no longer speaks to.

Collin Gosselin is mourning what could have been. The "Jon & Kate Plus 8" alum shared a message on TikTok on Friday, August 8, reflecting on the childhood and relationships he could have had with his estranged brothers and sisters.

He posted a short carousel of two images, the first being a childhood photo of himself and his sextuplet siblings: Alexis, Aeden, Hannah, Leah, and Joel, as well as 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara. "Born to be a team, us against the world…" Collin wrote.

"Forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could have looked like," he penned over the second photo. Collin currently lives with his father, Jon Gosselin, and his sister Hannah. All three remain estranged from the rest of the family.

"Forced apart, pitted against each other," Collin continued in the caption. "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've shared. I love you guys," he concluded.

Collin and his siblings' lives were chronicled on the famed TLC reality series "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which aired for five seasons in the late 2000s. Amid their fame, however, came child abuse allegations, cheating rumors, and a lengthy, tumultuous custody battle.

Collin's mother, Kate Gosselin, received primary custody of all eight children following her divorce from his father in 2009. Several years later, Jon received sole custody of Collin after his mother enrolled him in a program for children with special needs.
