He said that he is also open to establishing a better relationship with his estranged siblings Aaden, Leah, Alexis, Joel, Mady, and Cara. The siblings currently have taken Kate’s side in the family drama.

Collin said “So first and foremost, my relationship with my brothers and sisters is of top priority to me, and I think the only way that my mother and I would be able to reconnect and fix our relationship in the future is, if she would just come forward with the truth and all the things that she has kept under wraps. And you know the many times that she’s tried to soil my name and my father’s name. I just would want her to come forward with the truth. [But] Yes, that door would be open. 100 percent.”
