Kate Gosselin & Jon Gosselin’s son Collin has not spoken to his most of his siblings in “five or six years.”
The teenager, 18, told Entertainment Tonight Monday that the distance from his fellow sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis & Leah, as well as 22-year-old twins Madelyn & Cara, has been “tough.”
Although Collin — who does talk to his sister Hannah — “would love to have a relationship” with his brothers & sisters, he has not “reached out to them” — & they haven’t reached out either.
“I want to respect their space & their time & respect how they feel about everything, so I’m kind of just waiting for the day that they reach out,” he explained. “I don’t want to reach out.
“I don’t want to invade their space,” the former reality star continued. “I’d rather just let them do it on their own terms.”
The “Jon & Kate Plus 8” alum shared his hopes to one day “have dinner with” his family members & “catch up on … the time that [they] lost” after previously being “so close.”
Collin, who sees himself enlisting in the Marine Corps, gushed about how “happy” he wants Madelyn, Cara, Aaden, Joel, Alexis & Leah to be.
“I love them to death,” he told the outlet tearfully. “I love them very much. … I really hope that one day when I have kids that my kids will know their aunt & uncles.”
Collin hasn’t lived with his siblings since he was sent to an institution for behavioral issues in 2016. Jon was subsequently granted sole physical & legal custody of Collin.
The DJ, 45, also obtained custody of Hannah, & the Gosselin Girl creator is an important part of Collin’s “emotional support” system.
“I would do anything for my sister,” he gushed. “She helped me out a lot & still does to this day. [She] still does so much for me.”
Earlier in the interview, Collin spoke for the first time about his estrangement from mom Kate.
“It’s unfortunate that we didn’t have a relationship,” he said of the 47-year-old. “I think every son wants to have a relationship with their mom.”
Collin & his family starred on TLC from 2007 to 2017. Jon & Kate called it quits two years after the show’s premiere following 10 years of marriage.
