Kate Gosselins Relationship With Son Collin: Details

On the outs. Kate Gosselin and her son Collin have been through their fair share of ups and downs over the years.

The Kate Plus Date star welcomed Collin and his sextuplet siblings — Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Leah and Joel — in 2004 with her now-ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. The little ones joined twins Madelyn and Cara, who arrived four years earlier.

The reality stars, who tied the knot in 1999, called it quits a decade after their nuptials. While the former couple were granted shared physical custody of their kids, Kate received legal custody of all eight children. (Per The Center for Family Law, legal custody “refers to the rights and the obligation to make decisions about a child,” while physical custody “refers to which parent the child is physically with at any given time.”)

In 2016, she revealed that she had sent Collin to Fairmont Behavioral Health Institute for behavioral issues. (Jon later told the Daily Mail: “Other than ADHD, which is extremely common, Collin has never been diagnosed with any known medical condition.”) In 2018, Jon had the teenager removed from the facility. Collin and Hannah now live with their dad.
