Collin Gosselin Shares Heartbreaking Message For Estranged Siblings originally appeared on Parade.
Collin Gosselin is sending a message to his estranged siblings.
Over the past decade, the 21-year-old former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star has found himself in the midst of controversy surrounding his family and his complicated relationship with his mom, KateGosselin.
As one of the family’s sextuplets, Collin grew up on camera — but behind the scenes, he says his life was full of struggle amid a tense relationship with his mother. In 2016, she sent him to a boarding school for children with behavioral issues but several years later, his father JonGosselin stepped in to remove him from the institution.
Since then, Collin has accused his mother of taking her “anger and frustration” out on him when he was a child and frequently separating him from his siblings, noting that his “behavioral problems” were not as severe as she made them out to be.

Then, in 2024, Collin made even more intense accusations against his mother, claiming that he was often placed in a “containment” room in the family’s basement as a little boy, where he was tied up and left by himself for hours — allegations Kate has shot down.
Amid the conflict, Collin has long been estranged from his mother and the siblings that still live with her: Mady, Cara, Joel, Aaden, Leah and Alexis. Meanwhile, Hannah has lived with Collin and their father since 2018.
Despite the distance, Collin just shared that he’s still hoping for a reconciliation with his siblings.
On his TikTok account, he shared a slideshow featuring a childhood photo of the eight kids, writing, “Born to be a team, us against the world…Forced to do it alone, and wonder everyday what our lives could have looked like.”
He added, “Forced apart, pitted against each other. All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids? I will always love them more than anything. The tears I shed behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could have shared. I love you guys…”
In the comments, Collin added that he’s still incredibly close with Hannah, even though they’re both currently in college.
Collin’s other siblings have yet to respond to his TikTok.
