Kate Gosselin Shares 8 Children With Jon Gosselin
Kate and Jon Gosselin split in 2009.
Apart from Hannah and Collin, 21, the former couple share sextuplets Joel, Aaden, Alexis, Leah and their older twin sisters, Mady and Cara.
Viewers watched the Gosselin kids go from toddlers to teens after skyrocketing to fame on the series, Jon & Kate Plus 8, which aired on TLC from 2007 to 2009. After Jon and Kate’s 2009 divorce, the show rebranded to Kate Plus 8, which focused on Kate and the children. The show aired intermittently until 2017.
Kate Gosselin Was Granted Full Custody After Split
Kate Gosselin originally had full custody of all eight children.
Kate initially received full custody of the eight children. However, in 2016, the mom of eight sent Collin, who was 11 or 12 around the time, to a live-in facility due to alleged behavioral issues involving his siblings. After two years in the institution, Collin went to live with his father in 2018. That same year, Hannah also chose to move in with Jon.
Hannah previously admitted that the stress of reality TV cameras only worsened her parents ' already-strained marriage.
“[Filming] made my siblings and I closer to each other, even though it made my parents further from each other,” Hannah told Teen Vogue in an interview published on May 14.
Although she looked back at the memories with her brother and sisters fondly, she added, “It’s hard to go back and watch my parents argue.”
