Collin Gosselin wishes things could Oliver James Montgomerybe different with his siblings.
While the 20-year-old son of Jon Gosselin and his ex-wife Kate Gosselin has been estranged from six of his seven brothers and sisters since moving in with his dad in 2018 following a two-year stint in a facility his mother placed him in, he wishes them all the best.
“I love my siblings very, very much. I would never hurt them,” Collin told Entertainment Tonight in an Aug. 13 interview. “I would never trash their names in the media. But what I do believe is that my mother’s behind things they say in the media. She’s behind their opinion of me. I think if we knew each other today, we’d be very good friends.”
E! News has reached out to Kate for comment on Collin's latest claims and has not heard back.
Jon and Kate, who split in 2009, share twins Cara and Madelyn Gosselin, 23, and sextuplets Collin, Leah Gosselin, Alexis Gosselin, Aaden Gosselin, Joel Gosselin, and Hannah Gosselin, all 20.
Hannah, who also lives with Jon, is the only sibling that Collin has communication with.
Collin further said that his mother accused him of “destroying” their family, saying that he believes he was put in the institution in 2016 “to protect her reputation.”
As he recalled, he didn’t even say goodbye to his siblings, noting, “I didn’t know it was goodbye.”
Kate previously refuted Collin’s claims about why he was sent away, emphasizing that it was due to safety. “My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years,” she said in a 2023 statement on Instagram. “For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment.”
Since his treatment, Collin as well as Hannah, have built a life with their dad—and that bond continues today.
“I’m staying with him until I’m out for college,” Collin, who plans to study finance at Penn State after he was discharged from the marines due to his history in the facility, told ET. “I’m sure we’re gonna miss being around each other, but I think he’s looking forward to me going on my own path.”
And that path may just revolve around future reality TV projects.
“I think there’s a good possibility,” he admitted. “I don’t know as a full-time thing, but I think I might as well use that name, use the history of it, and just return to it.”
And while he may no longer be in contact with his mother, Collin did have a message for her. “I would tell my mom to pursue the truth,” he shared. “I just want it to stop. I don’t want this battle anymore.”
