Contents

The Gosselin family, once the center of the reality television phenomenon Jon & Kate Plus 8, has undergone a dramatic and transformative shift in their lives, with the most significant changes occurring in late 2024 and throughout 2025. The eight children—twins Mady and Cara, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel—are all now young adults, navigating college, careers, and independent living, while their parents, Jon and Kate, have each embarked on surprising new chapters, including a major life event for Jon that made headlines in November 2025.

The intense public scrutiny that defined their early years has been replaced by a quiet, yet complex, family dynamic, with the children divided between their parents and forging separate paths. As of December 2025, the biggest news is Jon Gosselin's marriage to longtime partner Stephanie Lebo, while Kate Gosselin has fully returned to her medical roots. Here is the definitive, up-to-the-minute look at where every member of the "Jon Plus 8" family is today, detailing their careers, relationships, and the ongoing saga of their fractured family life.

Jon Gosselin: A New Life as a DJ, Empty Nester, and Husband

After years of legal battles and public fallout following his divorce from Kate Gosselin, Jon Gosselin has finally settled into a quiet, yet fulfilling, life in Pennsylvania, marked by a major milestone in late 2025. He is now a self-described "empty nester," focusing on his new career and his relationship with his adult children.

The 2025 Marriage to Stephanie Lebo

The most significant update for Jon came on November 23, 2025, when he married his longtime girlfriend, Stephanie Lebo, in an intimate ceremony in Pennsylvania. Stephanie Lebo, who is a chemist and cosmetologist, had been dating Jon for four years prior to their wedding. This marks Jon's second marriage, a decade and a half after his high-profile divorce from Kate Gosselin. The wedding was a private affair, with reports confirming that some of his eight children were in attendance, though the exact number was not publicly specified.

From Reality Star to Full-Time DJ

Jon has fully transitioned away from reality television, dedicating his career to music. He works as a disc jockey, performing at venues and events, spinning tracks in a career he has embraced as his own. His life as an empty nester allows him to dive full-time into his passion, a stark contrast to the chaotic life chronicled on TLC. He remains focused on his role as a father, particularly to the children with whom he has maintained a close relationship.

Kate Gosselin: Back to the Medical Field and TikTok Fame

Kate Gosselin has also made a decisive return to her roots, leveraging her professional background while cautiously dipping her toes back into the public eye. After years out of the spotlight, Kate has returned to her original career in the medical field, a move that surprised many fans of the original show.

A Grueling Career in Healthcare

Kate has returned to nursing, working as a pediatric home healthcare nurse, often pulling grueling 12-hour shifts. She has been open about the financial difficulties that necessitated her return to the medical field, stating that her reality TV earnings went toward the children’s college funds and legal fees. Furthermore, in a major career move, she was appointed as the new director of inpatient services at Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital, showcasing her professional ascent within the healthcare system.

The Surprising TikTok Comeback

In July 2025, Kate Gosselin made a surprising comeback to social media, joining the popular platform TikTok. Her content offers rare updates on her personal life and her children, giving fans a small glimpse into her new chapter. This digital presence is a new way for her to connect with the public, contrasting sharply with the structured world of reality TV that launched her to fame.

The Eight Gosselin Children: Thriving in Adulthood (2025)

The eight children are no longer the toddlers and tweens seen on television; they are now all young adults, with the twins in their mid-twenties and the sextuplets having turned 21. Their paths are diverse, and the family remains divided, with some children having limited or no contact with Jon, while others live independently or remain close to one parent.

The Twins: Mady and Cara Gosselin

Mady and Cara, the oldest children, are now thriving in adulthood and pursuing their own careers.

  • Mady Gosselin: As of May 2025, Mady is living in New York City. She has become a social media influencer, sharing her life and fashion with her followers.
  • Cara Gosselin: Cara is also living independently and successfully navigating post-college life. Both twins are known to reside with their mother, Kate, when they are home from their respective colleges.

The Sextuplets: Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel

The sextuplets have all reached the milestone of turning 21, each forging a unique path. The most public updates have come from Hannah and Collin, who have maintained a close relationship with their father, Jon.

  • Hannah Gosselin: Hannah has been a consistent presence in Jon's life and has pursued various entrepreneurial endeavors.
  • Collin Gosselin: Collin has been the most vocal about the family’s dynamic. In August 2025, he shared an emotional TikTok detailing his experience on the reality show, claiming that the show "forced apart" the siblings. He previously lived with Jon full-time, suggesting a strong bond with his father.
  • Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel: These four siblings have largely remained out of the public eye, living with their mother, Kate. Updates are scarce, though some reports suggest Aaden has a love for animals and Leah is pursuing a culinary path. Their decision to stay private is a clear effort to move past the intense reality TV spotlight that defined their childhood.

The story of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" continues to be one of complex relationships, new beginnings, and the enduring challenge of growing up in the public eye. As the children mature and the parents settle into their new lives—Jon as a married DJ and Kate as a director in healthcare—the family's narrative in 2025 is less about reality TV drama and more about personal evolution and the pursuit of normalcy.
