Collin Gosselin Reached Out To Estranged Siblings, Any Replies?
It was easy to grow familiar with Jon and Kate Gosselin’s children starting in 2007. That’s when Jon and Kate Plus 8 first aired on TLC. The family-centered reality TV show ran for 11 seasons, highlighting Jon and Kate‘s married life, along with their eight children. Since then, Jon and Kate have gone through a very messy and extremely public divorce. Beyond the divorce, there’s also been an abundance of drama with some of their children. One of their sons is named Collin Gosselin. Is he on good terms with any of his siblings right now? We’ve got the details.
What’s Going On With Collin Gosselin?
As of this publication, Collin is 20 years old. He’s had past issues with his siblings, but that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable leaving things in a negative position for the rest of his life. When Kate and Jon first divorced, Jon got primary guardianship of Collin and Hannah. The rest of the kids stayed in Kate‘s care. Currently, it seems Hannah has reconnected with her other siblings, and Collin is interested in following that path. He told Us Weekly:
“Every time I’m in New York or whatever, I reach out and try to get some stimulation from my twins or whatever. Maybe one day it’ll just happen, but we’ll see. We talk about it a lot. Holidays are coming and maybe that’ll happen.”
Was Collin Gosselin Abused By Kate Gosselin?
Collin might be willing to reconnect with his younger siblings, but how does he feel about his mother? Collin claims his childhood with Kate was incredibly toxic and super abusive. There’s a huge possibility he isn’t interested in reconnecting with her at any point in time. Collin told The Sun:

”My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement. She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside. It was like a containment room, literally, and it had a mattress on the floor and that’s how I lived.”
He further explained that she would bolt the door shut with a lock and zip-tie his hands and feet together so he couldn’t easily move around. He said she would keep the lights turned off and aim cameras his way to watch him all the time. Collin claims Kate treated him different than the rest of his siblings.
Kate hasn’t responded to the accusations against her. Based on everything Collin has come forward to say, it seems he’s incredibly open to the idea of reconnecting with his siblings. It doesn’t quite sound like he’s too interested in pursuing a renewed familial connection with Kate, though.
