Jon Gosselin Says 6 Children Became Strangers After 10-Plus Years of Estrangement

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 26

Summary

  • Jon Gosselin said he has not spoken with six of his eight children in more than a decade, calling them "perfect strangers now" and dating his estrangement from twins Mady and Cara to about 13 years.
  • The split extends beyond the eldest two: Gosselin said he has not seen the other four children since before COVID, though he said he still wants contact and has tried reaching out publicly and privately.
  • Collin and Hannah have lived with Jon since 2018, and Jon pointed his six estranged children to Collin's new memoir, which alleges childhood abuse, isolation and forced institutionalization by Kate Gosselin.
  • Kate Gosselin has pushed back indirectly, writing on TikTok that she and her children know who she "truly" is, as the family dispute resurfaces years after "Jon & Kate Plus 8" ended.
