In the conversation, Collin, 18, also addressed his estrangement from six of his siblings, twins Cara and Mady, 22, and his fellow sextuplets Joel, Alexis, Aaden, and Leah, also 18.

In 2016, the reality child star was institutionalized for behavioral issues.

Since then, he says he has not had a relationship with his mother Kate, 47, and at that time his siblings separated into different homes causing issues of their own.

“I have not spoken with my siblings in probably five or six years now,” Collin revealed to the outlet, adding: “It’s tough.” 

The TV personality claimed that he would “love to have a relationship” with his sisters and brothers, despite the distance that has grown between them.

“I would love for us to come together one day, have dinner together, talk, just have a relationship and catch up on the things that we lost, the time that we lost.

“I haven’t reached out to them, they haven’t reached out to me. I want to respect their space and their time and respect how they feel about everything, so I’m kind of just waiting for the day that they reach out.

“I don’t want to reach out. I don’t want to invade their space. I’d rather just let them do it on their own terms.”

After the divorce, Hannah and Collin went to live with their father Jon, 45, and the rest of the siblings stuck with their mom Kate.

Though they haven’t spoken since they chose to split residencies, he says he still feels love for his siblings.

“I love my siblings. I would be willing to put my parents aside and I have. In my eyes, it’s me and my siblings. I love them to death,” he claimed, teary-eyed.

“I love them very much. How I see it is, without parents involved, it’s just me and them. I really hope that one day when I have kids that my kids will know their aunt and uncles.”

“We were all so close,” he explained, touching on the beginning of their Jon & Kate Plus 8 journey.

“I would just like to see all of them… I hope they’re doing well. I hope they’re living the lives that they want and that they’re happy.”

HANGING WITH HANNAH

Collin added that he’s happy to report he’s still close with his sister Hannah.

“I would do anything for my sister. We don’t call [each other] much because… she has better things to do than call me, but whenever she does reach out, it makes my day. I love her to death.

“Hannah, she’s a big part of my emotional support. She helped me out a lot and still does to this day. [She] still does so much for me.”

MISSING A MOM

Collin also claimed that his relationship with his mom Kate never recovered after he left the institution for troubled youth.

“After being there, I didn’t have a relationship with her,” he revealed to the outlet.

“Even before [being] there, I don’t think we had much of a relationship and I think that just kept tearing it even more down.”

Collin went on to say that he thinks their severed relationship was a result of the family’s decade-long stint on reality TV.
