Alexis Gosselin makes rare appearance after brother Collin's heartbreaking message about being 'forced apart'
Alexis Gosselin made a rare appearance in one of her mother Kate's social media videos on Saturday. 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!'

Several weeks after the 50-year-old former TV personality opened her TikTok account, she shared a video packing her lunch for a work shift — which included a brief appearance by her 21-year-old daughter Alexis. In the clip, which Kate posted on Aug. 9, she is preparing a salad while Alexis walks through the kitchen on her way out of the house. 'Ride carefully, and text me when you get there, please,' the mom of eight tells her daughter, to which Alexis replies, 'Love you!' Alexis, the first of Kate's sextuplets to be born, has lived a fairly private life in the years following the end of her family's TV show. Kate's video was the latest in a series of clips she has been sharing to TikTok over the last few weeks after she first started her account in July. 'There's going to be a lot of dogs on it — and kids — but mostly dogs,' shared the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star about her new social media page in a video on July 28. 'I'm in my German Shepherd dog mom era. Is that how they say it? You know what I mean.' Kate shares eight children — 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara, as well as 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel — with ex-husband Jon Gosselin. The family skyrocketed into fame as the stars of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8, which was later named Kate Plus 8 after Kate filed for divorce from Jon in 2009. After Kate and Jon's divorce, their children Collin and Hannah chose to live with their father, while the rest remained with their mother. In May, to celebrate her sextuplets' 21st birthday, Kate shared a photo clinking glasses with Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, while Collin and Hannah were notably absent. On the same day, Jon shared a video celebrating Hannah's birthday over cocktails with his daughter and his girlfriend Stephanie Lebo. In an Aug. 7 TikTok post on his own account, which he recently started, Collin opened up about his estrangement from his family in the years since their family's show concluded. "Born to be a team, us against the world," shared Collin in the post, which was set to Adele's track 'Hometown Glory.' 'Forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could've looked like.' 'Forced apart, pitted against each other,' added Collin in the caption, referencing his siblings. '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… ❤️' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In a September 2024 interview with The Sun, Collin alleged that his mom confined him and 'isolated' him from his other seven siblings, adding that he was often the 'scapegoat' for his mother's problems. "My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement," he alleged to the outlet. "She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside. It was like a containment room, literally, and it had a mattress on the floor and that's how I lived." Speaking to The Sun at the time, an attorney for Kate said he didn't believe that Kate had done anything to "intentionally harm" her son and that "she did what she did to protect herself and her family" from what he called "troubled behavior." In 2020, Collin also accused Jon of abuse, alleging that his father punched and kicked him. Jon was never charged with abuse, and in a statement to Entertainment Tonight, he denied the allegations.
