Kate Gosselin Shares Update on Kids in Rare Video

by

Kate Gosselin’s plus eight are looking back at their childhood. 

Approximately a month following the debut of Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum on TikTok, she disclosed that her ex-spouse Jon Gosselin’s eight children – aged 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara, as well as 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel – are now watching their old TLC series.

In a TikTok post dated August 2nd, the 50-year-old woman recorded herself getting ready while discussing aspects of her nursing career. Though viewers are thrilled to have her return to the healthcare industry, some reminisced about their favorite moments from the show “Jon & Kate Plus 8“.

One user remarked, “What great fortune you possess, having so many treasured moments captured,” to which Kate responded, “Indeed! Now, my grown children are enjoying our series with their companions – partners and girlfriends. Isn’t that adorable?

It’s worth noting that in recent times, her children have expressed their views about the well-known show, which concluded in 2009, coincidentally marking the year following a decade of Kate and Jon’s marriage, after they divorced. Remarkably, Hannah has spoken publicly about how being part of reality TV affected the Gosselin family dynamics.

In an interview with Teen Vogue in May, she shared, “That’s just how things were for us.” She continued, “The film crew was always around, day and night. Being filmed brought my siblings and me closer together, but it strained the relationship between my parents, which is difficult to revisit as I watch them argue on screen.

Though Hannah and her siblings may have moved away from the main stage, they’ll continue to reveal glimpses into their lives – now, through a more intimate setting on social media platforms such as TikTok. In an unusual update, Kate has announced that her eight children will occasionally join in her TikTok videos.

She clarified in her July 29 TikTok video that there will be many dogs and a few children, but mostly dogs, including herself. Later, she humorously hinted at the new phase of her life she’s entering by saying, “I’m in my German Shepherd mom era.” Is that how you put it? I hope you understand what I mean.

In 2019, Kate expressed her feelings about the end of a grand #15 celebration, which had been going on all day long. It started with a gift at 6:30 am before school! She is incredibly grateful for her children… it’s hard to believe they are already 15 years old! Every day she is amazed by them and proud of the wonderful qualities that have emerged as they approach adulthood.

In 2018, Kate posted on Instagram, “Yesterday felt just like school had never ended… and here they are again! Back to school! #SeniorYear #EighthGrade #ProudMom” (paraphrased).

 

Jon Gosselin took to Instagram to celebrate Hannah, Collin, Alexis, Aaden, Joel, and Leah on their 15th birthdays! He exclaimed, ‘I can’t believe you’re 15 already! Time is flying!’ Alongside pictures with Hannah and Collin, he wrote, ‘I adore each of you immensely. I hope today and this weekend are the best birthday celebrations ever! Love, always, Dad.’

In 2018, Kate expressed her surprise and disbelief on social media as her daughters reminded her that they were only 12 days away from turning 14. She told Leah that she seemed too small to be turning 14, but Leah questioned if she might actually be turning 11 or 12 instead. Kate, who gave birth to Leah, was certain about the age and admitted her daughters would always remain her babies, expressing her deep love for them.

Kate Gosselin expressed her astonishment, posting on Instagram, “I find it hard to believe they’ve turned 13!” as she celebrated a significant birthday for her sextuplets.
