Jon Gosselin asks estranged children to contact him and read brother’s memoir
Jon Gosselin has asked his six estranged children to contact him and read a memoir by their brother Collin.
Jon shares eight children with his ex-wife Kate Gosselin, whose family appeared on the reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8.”
He says he has a relationship with Collin and Hannah, both 22, but not the other six.
Jon says he has not spoken to twins Mady and Cara for about 13 years and has not seen the four other estranged children since before the COVID pandemic, perhaps.
He says he wants to know how their lives are going, and urges them to form their own opinions about the family.
