Collin Gosselin is deeply reflecting on the potential bonds he could have shared with his siblings.

The former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8—one of the 21-year-old sextuplets born to Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin—expressed his feelings in a poignant social media message aimed at his siblings, following over ten years filled with family turmoil and complicated relationships.

“Born to be a team, us against the world,” Collin—who has siblings named Alexis, Aeden, Hannah, Leah, and Joel, in addition to the 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara—shared alongside a nostalgic family photo on TikTok on August 8. “Forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could’ve looked like,” he lamented.

The reality of their childhood, which was often broadcast to audiences, was marred by a backdrop of cheating allegations, custody battles, and estranged relationships that complicated the siblings’ connections.

“Forced apart, pitted against each other,” Collin—who currently resides with his father and sister Hannah while maintaining distance from his mother and six other siblings—further elaborated in his emotional caption. “All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?”
