The ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ pack won America’s hearts after the Gosselin family’s television show premiered in 2007. Jon and Kate Gosselin welcomed twin daughters (Cara and Madelyn) in 2000, followed by sextuplets (Hannah, Collin, Alexis, Aaden, Joel and Leah) in 2004. TLC viewers watched the family go through many changes throughout its long run on reality television. In 2009, Jon and Kate divorced, which led the show’s name to be changed to ‘Kate Plus 8’ in 2010. After a cancellation, there was a hiatus between 2011 and 2014, and ‘Kate Plus 8’ returned for four more seasons until its last in 2017.

By the finale, all the Gosselin kids were teenagers! Ten years after ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ first aired, and the family is now divided. Hannah and Collin lived with Jon as of the fall of 2018 (Jon won temporary full custody of Collin in Dec. 2018). Meanwhile, the six other kids lived with Kate.
