Kate Gosselin Shares 'Precious' Throwback Photos of Her Kids Days After Son Collin Said Siblings Were 'Pitted Against Each Other'
The mom of 8's nostalgic post came four days after Collin, 21, claimed he and his seven siblings were "forced apart"NEED TO KNOW Kate Gosselin shared some never-before-seen photos of her eight kids from a 2010 summer day In the TikTok she posted sharing the photos, Kate, 50, said, "I wish I could go back" Days earlier, her 21-year-old son Collin shared in a post on TikTok that he feels he and his siblings were "forced apart" and "pitted against each other"Kate Gosselin appears to be feeling nostalgic. In a TikTok posted on Monday, Aug. 11, the mom of eight shared never-before-seen photos of her kids from 2010, and she seemed emotional as she reflected on how quickly time has passed. "I just wanted to preface and tell you a story about the photos I'm about to show you," she said as the video, which she took while walking her dog, began. "It was in 2010 — so the kids were 6, Mady and Cara would've been 9 — Deanna, our makeup artist friend – do you remember her from our show? – She came one summer morning and we decided she was gonna do makeup on the girls and mustaches and beards on the boys." Kate, 50, said that the result of the fun activity was "the most precious pictures" of her kids. "She came, we did it on the patio of our Pennsylvania house — they're the most precious pictures. I totally had forgotten about them," she said in the video. "I came across them the other day, and I cannot wait to share them, because the kids are so happy with the result, and they're so cute, and it was such a fun little silly, fun summer project to do together." "I hope you enjoy these pictures. Let me know what you think — they're really cute," Kate said as the video ended. "I wish I could go back." In the caption, she called the photos "the good old days❤️." Kate's reminiscing came days after her son Collin, 21, shared a candid message about how estranged he is from his siblings. On Aug. 7, her son, whom she shares with ex Jon Gosselin, shared a photo with his seven siblings on TikTok, writing over it, "Born to be a team, us against the world." In the slide over, he shared what the reality of his relationship with his siblings is, as he said he's "forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could've looked like." He elaborated further in the caption. "Forced apart, pitted against each other. All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?" he wrote, seemingly slamming his parents' choice to put their family on TV in Jon & Kate Plus 8. Of his siblings, Collin said he will "always love them more than anything" and admitted he's cried "behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could've shared." Kate and her attorney, Richard Puleo, confirmed to PEOPLE that they "have no comment." Tensions have been high of late between Collin and Kate after he claimed she abused him. Last year, Collin told The Sun that his mom forced him to live in what he called a "containment room" where he was "isolated" from his siblings, dating back to when he was eight. "My mother at many, many times, and most of the time, became physically abusive, verbally, very abusive with the things she would say," he told the outlet. Kate's attorney said in response to the allegations that the mom of eight "did what she did to protect herself and her family" from Collin's "troubled behavior." (PEOPLE covered these allegations at the time and had reached out to Kate and her attorney then, but did not hear back about this request.) The allegations came after Collin revealed he was "discharged" from the Marines because he was "in an institution at one point in my life," he told Entertainment Tonight. Kate sent Collin to an institution for what she claimed to be "unpredictable and violent behavior" when he was 12, and he told the outlet it was "the most scared I've probably ever been in my life" and he "didn't even say goodbye" to his siblings before he went. Collin's dad, Jon, later told TMZ that his son had started college at Penn State and was "doing really well." "He's just moving forward past everything that happened to him,' Jon, 48, said.

From TLC to TikTok, Kate Gosselin appears to be entering her 'dog mom era'
"There's going to be a lot of dogs on it and kids, but mostly dogs and me," Gosselin said in one of her videos. Kate Gosselin has made her way to TikTok. The 50-year-old reality star, known for her TLC series "Jon & Kate Plus 8," appeared to post her first video to TikTok on July 13. The TikTok account has about 109,000 followers, as of Aug. 7, but remains unverified, which has confused some fans about its legitimacy. Gosselin posted a video on July 28 to clarify that the account is real and she is awaiting verification from TikTok. "There's going to be a lot of dogs on it and kids, but mostly dogs and me," Gosselin said in the video, which had more than 2.6 million views, as of Aug. 7. "I'm in my German Shepherd dog mom era. Is that how they say it? You know what I mean." The bulk of videos on the account feature one, or both, of Gosselin's German shepherds, Nanuq and Meika. Gosselin has also posted throwback photos of her children from their TLC days and clips giving a peek into her everyday life, like her morning routine and how she makes her protein shakes. USA TODAY was unable to get in contact with Gosselin's representatives for comment. What is the internet saying? TikTok users appear divided on Gosselin posting on the platform. Some old fans of the TLC series are excited to see her back on screen. "Nostalgia has officially hit my feed this week, and I am here for it! Excited to follow along Kate," a TikTok user commented on one of Gosselin's videos. Some, on the other hand, have mentioned the allegations that Gosselin's son, Collin Gosselin, brought against his mother last year. In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun last year, Collin alleged that his mother was "physically aggressive" and "verbally very abusive" toward him as a child. He also claimed that his mother would zip-tie him and lock him inside a room in the family's basement for days at a time. Collin's father, Jon Gosselin, backed up these claims. Jon and Kate divorced in 2009. In an Instagram statement made last year, Kate said that after "multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years," Collin had been admitted to a facility for the family's safety. "Does it not hurt you to post (Collin) knowing you don't talk to him?" one TikTok user commented, noting a desire for the two to reconcile. "I know you say there is more to the story, but I can't imagine what it is to make you completely cut a child off for good. Even a few words over the phone goes a long way." Richard Puleo, a lawyer who represented Kate, told The Sun she never did anything to "intentionally harm" Collin and did "whatever she did to protect herself and her family from some of his troubled behavior as a child." What has Kate Gosselin been up to since TLC? "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which later became "Kate Plus 8" after the divorce, aired for 11 seasons, concluding in 2017. In 2019, TLC aired a single season of "Kate Plus Date," a reality series in which Kate gets help from professional matchmakers to go on dates with 10 bachelors. How old are the Gosselin children now? As of Aug. 7, Madelyn "Mady" and Cara Gosselin, Kate's eldest daughters, are 24 years old and the sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, are 21.
