Jon Gosselin, former reality TV star from ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8,’ revealed he hasn’t communicated with most of his children in over ten years. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he shared that his relationship with six of his eight children has deteriorated, referring to them as ‘perfect strangers.’
Gosselin, who divorced Kate Gosselin during the show’s run from 2007 to 2009, noted that their sons Collin and Hannah now live with him. Hannah maintains contact with her mother, while Collin doesn’t speak to his siblings. Gosselin expressed a desire to reconnect: ‘I want to know how their life is going.’
Collin Gosselin recently released a memoir, ‘In The Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,’ detailing his experiences on TV. In the book, he accuses his mother of mistreatment, including being institutionalized against his will. Collin seeks an apology and accountability from her.
Meanwhile, Kate Gosselin responded to the allegations on social media, asserting her self-awareness and love for her children. She thanked supporters and maintained that her children know her true nature.
