Jon Gosselin Says He Hasn’t Heard His Twins’ Voices in 12 Years

In his words, “I was just cut out of their lives. They, I guess, believe the narrative of TLC that I’m a s–t bag and that I don’t want to see them.”

Jon also pointed to abuse allegations made by Collin in his memoir In The Shadow of 8. (For her part, Kate has denied Collin’s accusations, writing in an Oct. 22 TikTok, “I know who I am and my kids know who I truly am and to me, that’s all that matters.”)

Now, Jon acknowledges how much he doesn’t know about his children’s lives. 

“I don’t know anything about my twins,” he confessed. “If they have boyfriends or girlfriends or what favorite color they have now or if they drive a car.”

As for his other children—Joel, Aaden, Alexis and Leah, all 22—the DJ said the no-contact began before the pandemic, during his relationship with Colleen Conrad, his ex-girlfriend of seven years before he remarried Stephanie Lebo in 2025.

As Jon clarified, “2018 is the last time I saw Joel, Aaden, Alexis, and Leah.” 

And while Jon is closest with kids Collin and Hannah, she recently revealed that she hasn’t lived with her dad or spoken to Collin in about a year. 

As the Gosselin family continues to share their stories, their family tree warrants another look.
