Things may finally be moving in the right direction for Hannah Gosselin and her siblings. The 19-year-old has been estranged from most of her family since her famous parents, Jon and Kate Gosselin, split in 2009. However, it doesn't sound like everyone is ready to make up quite yet.

Jon revealed that his daughter got in touch with her siblings on her birthday.
The family became famous after starring in the hit TLC series Jon & Kate Plus 8, which followed Jon and Kate as they raised a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. Once their marriage began to fall apart, however, the pair's eight children found themselves pitted against one another.
It sounds like Hannah has been working toward reconciling with her family.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Jon shared that Hannah "spoke with her siblings and her mother" on May 10, the sextuplets' 19th birthday. "It was nice," he shared. "Hannah and Collin have matured a great deal in the last few years."
Although Hannah chose to reconnect with her family, Collin remains at odds with his mother and other siblings.
Collin and Hannah moved in with their father following their parents' contentious divorce.
Jon has revealed in the past that his children — 22-year-old twins Mady and Cara and the remaining sextuplets, Leah, Alexis, Aaden, and Joel — all felt they had to side with their mother when the couple filed for divorce. This led to years of fighting, both in and out of the courtroom, which eventually ended with Hannah and Collin becoming estranged from everyone but their dad.
Collin recently opened up about how hard it is to be estranged from his mom.
While talking to Entertainment Tonight in November 2022, he got candid about the "unfortunate" circumstances that alienated him from Kate and his siblings, blaming the family's TV show for driving a wedge between them all.
"I think it tore us apart," he explained. "It gave us less time to actually be together as a family [and] more time to be in the public eye."

Jon was also absent from the reconciliation.
Despite publicly asking his estranged kids to reach out to him, he said he wasn't part of the May 10 call. "I didn't speak to my other children on their birthday. The last time I spoke to Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel was in 2018," he explained.
"I will never give up trying to talk to my children," he continued, adding that he hopes they reach out on social media. "The door is always open to rekindle any kind of relationship. I've tried for years for any interaction with any of my other kids, but nothing yet."
It sounds like things are at least moving in the right direction. Hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come for the family.
