One of Kate Gosselin’s Kids Makes Rare Appearance in Lunch Prep Video

Since joining TikTok, Kate Gosselin has shared snippets of what her life has been like since leaving reality television. For the most part, Kate has focused on posting about her nursing career and her “dog mom era,” but on occasion, she has talked about her children. In a recent video, one of her kids even made an appearance.

A recent video featured Alexis Gosselin.

On TikTok, Kate has experimented with different types of videos, including a GRWM (Get Ready with Me) video that she admittedly didn’t love. Recently, she walked her followers through her lunch prep process. “Pack my lunch with me for my 12 hour nursing shift!” she captioned the video.

As Kate prepared her salad for work, her daughter Alexis, now 21, walked through the kitchen. Just before leaving the house, Alexis hugged her mom. Kate said, “Ride carefully, and text me when you get there, please.” Alexis responded with, “Love you!” and Kate told her daughter to “be safe.”

Fans reacted in the comments.

Though it was a brief interaction, fans of Jon and Kate Plus 8 commented on how it’s “crazy to see (Kate’s kids) all grown up” after seeing them on TV when they were much younger. One fan wrote, “How are you telling Lex to drive safely when she was just a baby 5 minutes ago?! 😭 Where does the time go?” Kate responded directly, writing, “Trust me. I know!!! 😩”

Another fan said, “Love your videos and Alexis is beautiful btw 💕” Kate agreed. “Isn’t she? I love that girl! 🥰🥰🥰” she wrote.

Kate’s response to another comment also shed light on her current relationship with her children.

Reacting to that same video, someone else said, “The way you can see the natural connection and love between you and Lexi is adorable.” Replying directly to that fan, Kate shared some details about her current relationship with her children. “I don’t see them much anymore,” she wrote. “They come and go and I’m just left behind hoping they’ll stay longer…😩”

Prior to joining TikTok, Kate occasionally posted on Instagram in celebration of her kids’ birthdays. In May 2025, she wished her sextuplets a happy 21st birthday, writing, “And just like that, they turned 21! Happy Birthday to my 6! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #GosselinSextuplets.” Many critics were quick to point out that only four of the sextuplets were featured in the photos Kate shared.

She received similar comments when she joined TikTok in July, since Collin and Hannah Gosselin started living with their dad back in 2018. Kate and Hannah reportedly still have a relationship with each other, but Collin has accused Kate of abuse.

Collin recently opened up about his relationship with his siblings.

Via his own TikTok account, Collin recently shed light on his relationship with his family. He shared a photo from childhood that showed him with all of his siblings and wrote, “Born to be a team, us against the world … “

Then, in the following slide, he included a photo of himself that read, “Forced to do it alone, and wonder everyday what our lives could’ve looked like.”

In the caption, he added, “Forced apart, pitted against each other. All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids? I will always love them more than anything. The tears I shed behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could’ve shared. I love you guys.”
