The Gosselin Eight Now: Where Are Mady, Cara, Hannah, And Collin In Late 2025?
The Gosselin children, once the most famous multiple-birth family on reality television, are now all adults, with the sextuplets having celebrated their 21st birthday in 2025. The eight children of Jon and Kate Gosselin—twins Mady and Cara, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel—have followed dramatically different paths since the cameras stopped rolling on Jon & Kate Plus 8. Their lives in late 2025 are a complex tapestry of college graduations, new careers, and a deeply fractured family dynamic that continues to make headlines.
As of December 20, 2025, the once-unified family remains starkly divided, with two of the sextuplets living with their father, Jon, and the other six children primarily aligned with their mother, Kate. The ongoing public curiosity surrounding the children's well-being and their individual relationships with their parents drives continuous interest in their adult lives, which are often more dramatic than the TLC reality show that made them famous. This is the definitive, up-to-the-minute look at where each of the eight Gosselin kids is now.
The Gosselin Eight: A Complete Biographical Profile
The eight children were born to Jon and Kate Gosselin, who rose to fame on the TLC reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8, which premiered in 2007. The show documented their lives in Pennsylvania before the couple's highly publicized divorce in 2009. The children's lives are currently defined by the family's division, with some having a relationship with Jon, and others with Kate.

The Twins: Mady and Cara Embrace New York City Adulthood
Mady and Cara Gosselin, the oldest of the eight children, have successfully transitioned into independent adulthood, largely stepping away from the spotlight that defined their childhood.
Cara, the quieter of the two, graduated from the prestigious Fordham University in 2023, earning degrees in mathematics and economics. Her twin sister, Mady, also attended college in New York and now reportedly lives in New York City, working on her career path.
The twins have consistently stood by their mother, Kate, and have publicly stated they have no relationship with their father, Jon.
In a rare glimpse into their adult lives, Mady and Cara made an appearance in a TikTok video posted by their sister Hannah in November 2025. This brief, public sisterly reunion in the Big Apple was notable, as Hannah is one of the two children living with Jon, highlighting a potential, albeit rare, connection across the family's deep divide.
The Divided Six: Hannah and Collin's Public Life with Jon
The most public and dramatic split in the family involves sextuplets Hannah and Collin, who both reside with their father, Jon Gosselin.
Hannah and Jon's custody arrangement was finalized earlier, with Hannah choosing to live with her father full-time. She has become the most visible of the children on social media, often sharing updates on TikTok and occasionally speaking about the complex family dynamics that resulted from the *Jon & Kate Plus 8* reality show.
Collin's journey has been particularly tumultuous. After being sent away to a facility (often referred to as a military school) by his mother, Kate, Collin was eventually released into Jon's care. Jon was granted sole physical and legal custody of Collin in December 2018 after Kate failed to appear in court.
Now 21, Collin has been outspoken about his experiences, alleging in a 2024 interview that he was abused by his mother. He has also shared emotional messages on social media directed at his six estranged siblings—Mady, Cara, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel—claiming they were "forced apart" and "pitted against each other." Collin has confirmed he has no relationship with his mother or his six other siblings, a stark and painful reality for the sextuplets.
The Private Four: Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel at 21
In stark contrast to the public lives of Hannah and Collin, the remaining four sextuplets—Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel—have chosen to maintain a deeply private existence, largely staying out of the media spotlight with their mother, Kate.
All four celebrated their milestone 21st birthday in May 2025, with Kate sharing a rare celebratory photo that included them. While their specific college or career paths are not publicly known, the little information that surfaces points to them pursuing private lives away from the cameras.
Aaden, for example, is noted to keep his life very private, though some sources mention a "love for animals." Leah is rumored to have a "culinary passion," while Alexis and Joel are rarely mentioned in the media at all, a clear indication of their desire for anonymity.
Their continued alignment with Kate and their lack of contact with Jon, Hannah, and Collin underscores the enduring and painful family fracture. While the twins, Mady and Cara, have carved out public-facing careers in a major city, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel represent the quiet majority of the sextuplets, seeking normalcy and privacy after a childhood spent entirely on a reality TV family show.
The Continuing Legacy of the Reality TV Family
The story of the Gosselin children serves as a cautionary tale about the impact of reality television on young lives. The ongoing public interest is not just about celebrity but about the long-term effects of the intense media scrutiny and the subsequent custody battle between their parents.
As all eight children navigate their mid-twenties and early twenties, their individual choices—from Cara's economics degree and Mady's New York life to Collin's public allegations and the quiet lives of Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel—demonstrate the diverse and complex outcomes of growing up under the microscope. The family's story, which began with the heartwarming premise of *Jon & Kate Plus 8*, has evolved into a deeply human drama about estrangement, resilience, and the search for personal identity after a life in the public eye.
