Stop what you’re doing and grab your favorite glass of wine (or juice box, no judgment), because it happened. Kate Gosselin, the once-crowned queen of organized chaos and TLC drama, just reminded us all how ancient we are by posting birthday pics of her SEXTUPLETS turning 21. Yes, TWENTY-ONE. As in legally allowed to drink and probably already regretting it.
In a post that couldโve easily been titled โFrom Diapers to Daiquirisโ, the 50-year-old mom-turned-Insta-nostalgia machine dropped a photo bomb featuring herself and four of her famous half-dozen: Alexis, Leah, Joel, and Aaden. The gang hit the town for some celebratory sippinโโcomplete with cheers, grins, and the kind of lighting only a birthday dinner at a semi-fancy chain restaurant can provide.
Captioning the moment with, โAnd just like that, they turned 21! Happy Birthday to my 6! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ #GosselinSextuplets,โ Kate really leaned into that sentimental-but-make-it-cute vibe. Honestly, same. If my six kids all turned 21 on the same day, Iโd post pics and then immediately lie down with a cold compress and a therapist on speed dial.
Now, if youโre doing the mental math and thinking, โWait… six kids? I only see four?โโwell, thatโs where things get a bit TLC-after-dark. The other two sextuplets, Colin and Hannah, have been living their own lives away from the Kate-side of the family tree for years now. Theyโve been chilling with their dad, Jon Gosselin (remember the Ed Hardy era?), who divorced Kate back in 2009 when low-rise jeans were still a thing.
Letโs not forget the OG Gosselin duo, Mady and Caraโthe twins who probably still have trauma flashbacks from sharing a house with six toddlers at once. Theyโre 24 now, which means theyโve likely perfected the art of the group chat eyeroll.
Oh, and in a bonus twist, Jon Gosselin announced his engagement back in November 2024. So yeah, everyoneโs moving on, glamming up, and probably still low-key feuding via holiday card shade.
Anyway, happy birthday to the Gosselin sextuplets! From juice boxes to jungle juice, youโve truly grown up in styleโand slightly under the glare of a million reality show reruns.
