While goofing around with TikTok filters, Kate Gosselin gave fans a rare, heartwarming look at her bond with son Aaden.
In the footage, 21-year-old Aaden looks amused as his mom playfully adorns his face with a variety of digital stickers, including a mustache and a cowboy hat. As Gosselin, 50, scrambles to keep up with comments, he happily guides her through it. Their interaction offers a glimpse of a fresh and unseen side of their relationship.
Gosselin shares 8 children with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin: 24-year-old twins Maddie and Cara, and sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Hannah, Collin, Leah and Joel. The family appeared on TLCโs โJon & Kate Plus 8โ for 11 seasons, spanning from 2007 to 2017, but the kids largely disappeared from the public eye afterward.
During her August 21 livestream, Gosselin was asked about the reality series. She said, โIโd love to see my reaction to our show โ Iโd probably just cry the whole time.โ
Though Aaden mostly observed and let his mother do the talking, she encouraged him to reflect on his favorite memory from when they were filming. After a long pause and some thoughtful chin stroking, Aaden recalled that any time the family traveled to Wyoming was a good memory.
In 2007, the Gosselins traveled to Jackson Hole in an RV. Two years later, brothers Aaden, Collin and Joel returned on a boysโ trip with their mom.
โThat was really fun,โ he said, and Gosselin agreed. But Aaden did not elaborate.
โHe’s very chill. Heโs just a laid-back guy,โ Kate explained.
After mostly staying out of the spotlight, aside from a 2023 stint on โSpecial Forces: Worldโs Toughest Test,โ Kate Gosselin has recently started posting lifestyle videos on TikTok, including โMake an Embarrassingly Simple Dessert With Me!โ And โLetโs Clean My Cooktop Stove and Chat!โ
The clips offer a rare glimpse into Gosselinโs life since she moved to North Carolina and became a pediatric home health care nurse. Recently, daughter Alexis made an appearance, popping into the kitchen to give Gosselin a hug before heading out.
Fans seem to be loving this social media version of Gosselin, noting how at peace she appears, with comments overwhelmingly positive. One person remarked, “Who wouldโve thought in 2025 that Kate Gosselin would be my soothing decompress videos to watch!”
