Jon Gosselin claims he’s ‘perfect strangers now’ with six of his kids after years of no contact

Jon Gosselin says he has lost contact with six of his eight children and describes them as “perfect strangers”. He says he wants to hear how their lives are going and hopes they will contact him, amid renewed attention on the family following son Collin’s memoir.

Gosselin said he has been estranged from twins Mady and Cara for about 13 years, and has not seen the other four since before the Covid pandemic. He said he had tried to reach out privately and publicly, and urged his children to read Collin’s book and form their own views. Collin, 22, alleges in the memoir that his mother restrained and hit him and isolated him; the article also reports Kate Gosselin’s response to social media comments, but does not provide a direct reply to those allegations.
