Alexis Gosselin makes rare appearance after brother Collin's heartbreaking message about being 'forced apart'
It was the first time the 21-year-old had been seen since her brother Collin's heartbreaking claim about him and his siblings being 'forced apart.'
In the video, Kate, 50, who works as a nurse, was packing her meals for her 12-hour shift.
While the Kate plus Eight star was in her pink scrubs and talking to the camera, Alexis quietly walked up behind her to tell her goodbye.
After interrupting her story to give her daughter a hug, Kate told her, 'Ride carefully, and text me when you get there, please,'
Alexis could be heard replying, 'Love you.'
Alexis Gosselin, 21, made a rare appearance in one of her mom Kate's social media videos just days after her brother Collin made heartbreaking comments about him and his siblings being 'forced apart'
Kate has not made any comments since Collin's painful post on Thursday.
Sharing some throwback photos, the former reality star wrote, 'Forced apart, pitted against each other. All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?'
'I will always love them more than anything. The tears I shed behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could've shared. I love you guys...'
Collin has been estranged from his mother for many years, but is still close to his dad Jon, 48.
Daily Mail has reached out to both Kate and Jon's reps for comment.
Last September, Collin alleged he had been the victim of horrific abuse by his mother, 'while having to be an animal in her circus on tv,' in an interview with The U.S. Sun.
The Gosselin family entered millions of households when they starred in their reality show Jon & Kate plus 8.
The couple were parents to twins Mady and Cara, 24, along with sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, who turned 21 in May.
On Thursday, Collin, who, along wit Alexa is one of the sextuplets from the show Jon & Kate plus 8 clamed on social he he and his siblings had been' Forced apart, pitted against each other'
Kate shared photos from a birthday outing with Alexi, Aaden, Leah and Joel on social media writing, 'And just like that, they turned 21! Happy Birthday to my 6! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'
After Jon and Kate divorced in 2009, the show carried on as Kate plus 8, airing from 2015 to 2016.
Collin told the Sun that Kate 'zip-tied his arms and legs and locked him in basement as a child' as punishment for his behavioral issues before institutionalizing him in 2016 at age 12.
Jon said he began to fight for sole custody of his son after he claimed a doctor told him that Collin did not have the issues Kate claimed he did in Vice's TV's Dark Side of the 2000s series.
Following a legal battle over the issue, Collin and sister Hannah went to live with their dad.
After seeing Kate's most recent video, fans were divided in their reactions to the allegations.
'You should be in jail for what you did to colin (sic),' wrote one. 'Still got that narcissistic vibe,' claimed another.
Others jumped to her defense. 'So happy to see you. I've always admired you and wondered if you were working as a nurse again,' said a fan.
'I don't care what anyone says about her … she did what she had to do to raise her kids. Maybe I wouldn't hang out with her but I respect her … screw the haters @kateplusmy8!'

The Department of Homeland Security is starting to annoy both brands and artists with its wild social media behavior
The Department of Homeland Security is facing criticism from brands and artists for using their work in memes posted to its social media accounts. The DHS maintains a busy presence on X and Instagram, regularly posting mugshots of undocumented migrants alongside tweets encouraging people to join ICE. The department recently attracted a savage response from the creators of South Park after it repurposed a still from the show satirising ICE during an episode that mocked the Trump administration and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in particular. Before that, the DHS posted a spoof of a commercial for the British low-cost airline Jet2 featuring music from Jess Glynne to draw an allegedly humorous parallel between summer vacations and its mass deportation push. A spokesperson for the company said the parody was 'not endorsed by us in any way, and we are very disappointed to see our brand being used to promote government policy such as this.' Glynne herself said she felt 'sick' when she first learned of the misuse of her 2015 song 'Hold My Hand' and commented on Instagram that it 'is about love, unity and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.' The DHS's use of the paintings 'Morning Pledge' by Thomas Kinkade and 'A Prayer for a New Life' by Morgan Weistling has likewise provoked complaints from the Kinkade Family Foundation and Weistling himself, with both parties stating that the use was unauthorized and objecting to the appropriation. 'We strongly condemn the sentiment expressed in the post and the deplorable actions that DHS continues to carry out,' the foundation wrote in a statement on behalf of Kinkade posted to X. Responding to the criticism, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: 'The Department of Homeland Security is bypassing the mainstream media to give Americans the facts, debunk the lies, and unapologetically celebrate our homeland, heritage, and the rule of law. 'We are pleased that the media is highlighting DHS's historic successes in making America safe again.' Glynne is not the only musical act the department has upset through its posting. The rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club reacted to the department using its cover of 'God's Gonna Cut You Down' by saying: 'It's obvious that you don't respect Copyright Law and Artist Rights any more than you respect Habeas Corpus and Due Process rights, not to mention the separation of Church and State per the US Constitution… Go f*** yourselves.' The estates of Woody Guthrie and Tom Petty have also complained about the use of 'This Land is Your Land' and 'Won't Back Down' respectively. Such reactions have become a familiar complaint for the Trump administration. Last month, Metallica forced the Pentagon to remove their classic track 'Enter Sandman' from a video featuring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoting military drones, again saying its use was unauthorized. Trump himself has received a deluge of objections from artists unhappy with his use of their songs to soundtrack his political activities. Linkin Park, Queen, and Neil Young all complained during his first term, as did the Foo Fighters, Isaac Hayes, and Jack White throughout last summer's presidential campaign. White was particularly incensed about the Republican's use of 'Seven Nation Army' in a social media clip posted by his then-deputy director of communications Margo Martin last August, raging on Instagram: ' even think about using my music you fascists. Lawsuit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin. 'And as long as I'm here, a double f*** you DonOLD for insulting our nation's veterans at Arlington you scum. You should lose every military family's vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore.'

Huge Fantasyland Forest theme park land that Disney World was forced to scrap
DISNEY World has a long history of 'could have beens' including a massive Fantasyland Forest that would have featured princess meet and greets. Back in 2009, Disney announced an expansion would be going ahead at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. 5 5 5 Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here Whilst the expansion did go ahead, making it the largest single park expansion in the Magic Kingdom's history at the time, earlier plans fell through. The Fantasyland Enchanted Forest was set to be built in an area of the park where a few closures had taken place including the abandoned Skywalk station from 1999 and the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage from 1994. Whilst a small Winnie the Pooh play area and meet-and-greet opened in 2004, the Fantasyland Enchanted Forest announced in 2009 planned to open several mini lands. The main area would have been an Enchanted Forest, acting as the central mini land where guests would be able to meet-and-greet Disney princesses such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Belle. 5 Another mini-land proposed was Pixie Hollow, with Tinker Bell and her fairy friends - guests would have even been shrunk to pixie size. Other attractions included a Prince Charming Regal Carrousel and Peter Pan's Flight ride. However, plans adapted - especially after the initial proposal received mixed reception with many fans claiming it was too "girl centric". By the time the new land opened, much was different from the first drawings. There was no central Enchanted Forest and meet-and-greets with Cinderella as she was cleaning and Sleeping Beauty on her 16th birthday were scrapped. This European castle was the inspiration for Disney Instead, the Princess Fairytale Hall took its place, with the change of meet-and-greet with Belle instead. For dining, there was plans for a 'Be Our Guest' restaurant, which did go ahead and can be found inside the Beast's castle. Sticking with Beauty and the Beast, the initial dining destinations of Gaston's Tavern and a 'Be Our Guest' restaurant in the Beast's castle did go ahead. A dark ride - which features themed sections and special effects - called Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid, also went ahead. And taking over the spot where Pixie Hollow was due to be, the Storybook Circus doubled the size of Dumbo the Flying Elephant, created an interactive queue area and re-themed the kiddie rollercoaster, The Barnstormer. Part of the site set for the Enchanted Forest was also given to a new ride known as the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, replacing Snow White's Scary Adventures. According to Orlando Park Stop, this was Disney's attempt to make the new area attractive to boys as well as girls. This ride marked the last part of the development to open in May 2014 and to date remains one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World. There was also a Disneyland planned for the UK and images have revealed what it could have looked like. And here's inside an abandoned Disney World airport with its own singing runway, but planes are banned from landing. 5
