Hannah Gosselin’s whole life has been caught on camera.
As the daughter of Jon and Kate Gosselin, I shared the limelight with my seven siblings when we made our television debut at just 15 months old on TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” Now, I’m sharing my personal insights into how growing up in the spotlight of reality TV has affected our family dynamics.
Hannah recalls that, during her time on the crew, everyone felt like extended family to her, contributing their roles unseen but equally important.
In a conversation with Teen Vogue, the 21-year-old expressed that living as we usually do was their normality. They were constantly surrounded because the film crew was present around the clock.
Consequently, every dispute between her parents during their high-profile divorce in 2009 was documented and exposed globally.
Hannah shared that the process of filming brought her and her siblings even closer together,” she said, “yet it seemed to widen the gap between her parents. It’s tough to revisit moments where I see my parents having disagreements.
However, Hannah, being part of a family consisting of sextuplets Collin, Alexis, Aeden, Leah, Joel, and twins Mady and Cara at 21 and 24 years old respectively, wouldn’t trade her childhood experiences for anything. Her childhood memories were immortalized in this way, providing a precious legacy, generating some income, and contributing to the establishment of stricter regulations in the entertainment industry for child performers.
Lately, Jon disclosed that it’s been a while since they last had a conversation with his former spouse.
In an interview with TopMob News in January, the 48-year-old stated that they don’t have any contact: “As far as I can remember, it’s been years since we last spoke face-to-face, around 2018.
In their previous encounter, the DJ clarified that the duo found themselves in a courtroom amidst a dispute over their son Collin, due to accusations made by one party that the other had verbally and emotionally abused him as a child during his upbringing. However, it’s important to note that these allegations were denied by Kate, while Jon was granted custody in the end.
Even though he’s had a turbulent history with his former partner, it’s worth noting that Jon, who went public with his engagement to Stephanie Lebo last November after three years together, confessed that their current encounters have been more tranquil than they’ve been in previous times.
“It’s been calm,” he said at the time, “very calm, knock on wood, for two years now.”
Speaking of our family’s leader, it was just recently that Kate posted pictures featuring four of the sextuplets (leaving out Hannah and Collin), all in honor of their 21st birthday.
In a blink of an eye, they had reached the age of 21! This is what the caption read on her Instagram post dated May 11th. A very happy birthday to my sextuplets who are now six! #GosselinSextuplets.
For more of the Gosselin family over the years, keep reading.
The sextuplets Hannah, Collin, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel all celebrated their 21st birthdays on May 10, 2025, and Kate posted photos from the birthday celebration of the last four siblings.
Hannah celebrated her birthday with her dad and his fiancée Stephanie Lebo.
On Mother’s Day in 2024, exactly two days after their sextuplets reached the age of 20, Kate paid tribute to the four who reside with her: Alexis, Aaden, Joel, and Leah.
She posted on Instagram, “Nobody underage here anymore! Happy 20th birthday, my cherished darlings! I adore you!” followed by “#20yearsold” and “#ForeverMyBabies”. She also added a comment saying, “I’m feeling the years… #ItsaPICKLE.
Hannah shared new pics of herself on her and the other sextuplet’s 20th birthday.
On to the next chapter! The sextuplet graduated from high school in 2023.
Jon posted a photo of Collin and Hannah, the sextuplets, celebrating their high school graduation in 2023, a number of years following their move to live with him.

2022 saw Jon penning on Instagram, “Here’s wishing you a joyful 18th birthday! Let’s make this day memorable with a shout-out. I adore you. With affection, Dad.
2019 saw Kate expressing her awe and gratitude as the grand celebration for her child’s 15th birthday came to an end. The festivities had started early, with a gift presentation at 6:30 am before school! She couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly they had grown, finding it hard to believe they were already fifteen. Every day she is amazed by their progress and takes great pride in the positive qualities that have emerged as they approach adulthood.
I can hardly believe it’s already back to school after yesterday felt like it never ended! #SeniorYear #EighthGrade #ProudMom,” or “Yesterday seemed endless, and now it’s already the start of another school year! #SeniorYear #EighthGrade #ProudMom.
Jon Gosselin posted on Instagram, expressing his joy on the 15th birthdays of Hannah, Collin, Alexis, Aaden, Joel, and Leah. He marveled at how quickly time is passing. The photo featured him with Hannah and Collin Gosselin. “I adore each one of you immensely. I hope today and this weekend bring you the best birthday celebrations ever! Enjoy every moment, my dear ones. Love always, Dad.
In 2018, Kate expressed her astonishment to her followers about her daughters, who she affectionately refers to as ‘my little girls’, constantly reminding her of the number of days until they turn 14. On one particular occasion, Leah exclaimed, “12 days till we turn 14, Mom!” Kate was baffled and replied, “How is that even possible?”, to which Leah responded doubtfully, “Yeah, I guess I am too small for that. Are you sure I’m not turning 11 or 12?” Kate, who gave birth to her daughters, assured them they would always be her babies, expressing her deep love for them.
Kate Gosselin expressed disbelief in a post on Instagram as she celebrated a significant birthday for her six children.
Rewind to 2014 when Kate and her children found themselves visiting Alaska.
Apart from that, Kate Gosselin took her identical twins Cara Gosselin and Mady Gosselin on a vacation to New York City back in 2014. During their stay, they visited the Manhattan Hotel.
Kate Gosselin shared a cherished Christmas memory on Instagram, featuring a throwback photo from December 24th, 2010. In the picture, her six kids are bursting with excitement for Christmas! The caption read, “#TheyAreMyHeart #My8ReasonsToKeepOnKeepingOn #NoMatterWhat #TrueLoveX8.” Their smiles are priceless!
In October 2007, Jon and Kate Gosselin took all eight of their children on a trip to New York City. Their first destination was the set of the NBC’s Today show.
