The world first met the Gosselin children as a chaotic, cute, and captivating brood on the hit reality show *Jon & Kate Plus 8*. Today, in late 2025, the twins and all six sextuplets are fully grown adults, navigating college, demanding careers, and the complex reality of a family split dramatically by the public spotlight. The most recent and significant update is that the sextuplets—Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel—all celebrated their 21st birthdays in May 2025, marking a major milestone for the reality TV family.
The lives of the eight Gosselin children are now defined by two distinct paths: the four who live with their mother, Kate Gosselin, primarily in North Carolina, and the two who reside with their father, Jon Gosselin. This deep dive provides the most current, up-to-date information on the college majors, career paths, and public life of every single child from the famous family, offering a fresh perspective on their lives away from the cameras.

The Twins: Mady and Cara Gosselin’s Post-Graduate Careers
Mady and Cara Gosselin, the oldest of the eight siblings, have successfully transitioned into post-collegiate life, establishing independent careers in major metropolitan areas. Both twins graduated in 2023 and have since focused on their professional development, largely remaining out of the public eye, though they occasionally appear on social media.
Cara Gosselin: Financial Analyst in NYC
Cara Gosselin has firmly rooted herself in the finance world. She graduated from Fordham University in 2023, where she pursued a challenging dual major in Mathematics and Economics. Following her graduation, Cara secured a highly competitive position as a Financial Analyst at Bank of America in New York City, a major move that solidifies her career path in numbers and analysis.
Mady Gosselin: Pursuing Writing and Film
Mady Gosselin, who has been more vocal about the family’s reality TV past, also completed her higher education in 2023. She graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, triple-majoring in English Textual Studies, Film & Screen Studies, and minoring in Art History. While her specific current job title remains private, her academic path suggests a career focused on writing, media, or the arts. She has made rare, recent appearances in late 2025 alongside her twin sister, maintaining a low profile while enjoying life outside the *Jon & Kate Plus 8* spotlight.
The Sextuplets: Where Are Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel Now?
The sextuplets have been divided since their parents’ divorce, a situation that has created a significant family estrangement. Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel have remained living with their mother, Kate Gosselin, and all four are currently attending college, primarily in North Carolina, where Kate relocated.
- Joel Gosselin: Joel is attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). He is pursuing a degree in Accounting and Business, indicating a strong interest in a corporate or financial career, similar to his twin sister Cara's path.
- Aaden Gosselin: Aaden is confirmed to be a student at Western Carolina University. Details about his major are not widely publicized, but earlier reports suggested an interest in animals, which may influence his course of study.
- Alexis Gosselin: Alexis is a college student, with reports placing her at Regis College, and she is listed as a member of the Class of 2025. Like her siblings, she maintains a private life, keeping her academic focus a personal matter.
- Leah Gosselin: Leah is also enrolled in a North Carolina university, having shared a TikTok post about her first day of college. While the specific institution remains private, her move to higher education completes the college-bound path for all four children living with Kate.
Hannah and Collin Gosselin: University and Public Estrangement
Hannah and Collin Gosselin are the two sextuplets who chose to live with their father, Jon Gosselin, a decision that has been central to the family’s ongoing public drama. Their paths are the most publicly documented, largely due to their father’s media presence and Collin’s candid social media posts.
Hannah Gosselin: Business Major at the University of Miami
Hannah Gosselin is a successful student at the University of Miami, where she is pursuing a business degree. Hannah has also ventured into entrepreneurship with a small business, leveraging her public profile. Notably, Hannah has been a bridge between the estranged family members, confirming in a recent interview that she remains in contact with her mother, Kate Gosselin. In November 2024, she was seen publicly reuniting with her sister Leah, offering a rare glimpse of hope for the fractured family.
Collin Gosselin: The Most Public Family Rift
Collin Gosselin’s journey has been the most tumultuous, marked by his public allegations and candid commentary on the family's dynamics. Collin graduated high school in 2023 and has since been vocal about the rift with his mother and six siblings. In September 2024, Collin made headlines after sharing an emotional message on social media about his estranged siblings, claiming they were "forced apart" and "pitted against each other," adding to the already complicated narrative of the family's separation. Collin continues to live with his father, Jon, and is navigating his early twenties while being the most outspoken entity of the Gosselin children regarding the long-term effects of reality TV.
The Long-Term Impact of Reality TV on the Gosselin Children
The lives of the eight Gosselin children—Mady, Cara, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel—serve as a powerful case study on the long-term effects of growing up under the intense scrutiny of a reality TV family. The children, now all in their mid-twenties or early twenties, have largely chosen paths that prioritize privacy and academic or corporate success over the entertainment industry.
The clear division among the siblings, with four residing in North Carolina with Kate and two in Pennsylvania with Jon, highlights the lingering complexity of the family's structure. The public updates, such as Cara’s success at Bank of America, Joel’s accounting studies at UNC Charlotte, Hannah’s business venture, and Collin’s poignant social media posts, paint a picture of eight individuals striving to build normal, successful lives away from the cameras that defined their childhood. As they continue to mature, the world watches with curiosity, hoping that the next chapter for the Gosselin family focuses on personal fulfillment and, perhaps, reconciliation.
