What could be more frustrating than years of bitter custody battles with your ex-wife?
And he should know he has eight of them.
The spin-offs kept Kate and the children in the public eye until 2019.
But whatever happened to Jon Gosselin?
What role did he play in helping to raise his eight kids?
And what kind of relationships do they have with their dad today?
Here’s what we know.
And in early 2010, he accused her of manipulating his visitation time with the kids.
In the end, no changes were made regarding where the children would reside.
In an interview withEntertainment Tonightin May 2022, Hannah explained why she decided to live with her father.
“It’s a lot, growing up in a very busy household with lots of kids.
The then-18-year-old revealed that she’s long had a stronger connection with her dad.
However, she still found the decision hard to make.
“It was a difficult decision leaving my siblings,” Hannah explained.
He used words such as “dark” and “hopeless” to describe the ordeal.
While in one of the institutions, Collin wrote to his dad, pleading for help.
In 2017, Jon filed for full custody of Collin.
The petition was granted in a Pennsylvania courtroom in 2018, with just Jon present.
Kate, for undisclosed reasons, did not appear.
“I have been alienated from those children,” he admitted.
Mady and Cara are both enrolled in college in New York.
Cara attends Fordham University, while Mady is studying at Syracuse.
Although they have more independence these days, they haven’t shown an interest in reuniting with their father.
“I text them every single year.
“But I feel like there is an invisible wall.”
“They should be able to just get together.
I have no qualms about it.
If they want to go meet each other, go ahead.
I feel like it’s more on the other side.”
Collin went public on Instagram, claiming Jon had resorted to kicking and punching him.
“Yesterday he beat me up and thought nothing of it,” Collin wrote online (viaPeople).
“He punched me in the face and gave me a swollen nose and I started bleeding.
He then continued to kick me in the ribs after I was on the floor.”
According to a source, Collin “hurled [a heavy bottle of liquid] at Jon’s car.
… Jon got out of the car enraged, put him in a headlock.”
No charges were filed, but the claim fanned the flames with Jon’s ex-wife.
He also regrets that the two children who live with him have so little contact with the other sextuplets.
She planned to use the money from her trust fund to enroll.
The withdrawals allegedly totaled $100,000, which Kate vowed to repay.
Seemingly, however, it’s all in who you ask.
As for Hannah Gosselin, she’s on board.
“The door’s not shut between us, so we still talk about it.
So, I mean, maybe,” she revealed.
As for the rest of the Gosselin clan, it’s unclear.
I love you all so much!!”
