Much of Collin’s early life was documented on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8, which followed Kate and Jon Gosselin’s journey after the then-couple, already a mom of twins, welcomed sextuplets.

While viewers may think they already know Collin’s story after watching the reality series, he emphasized that his book will pull back the curtain on certain events. 

“What I want people to keep in mind is that many times in these productions, a lot of things are happening behind the scenes and not being shown,” he shared. “So, everything that was seen, even if it was the ugly moments and viewers think it was quite bad, I mean imagine that to another level.”

As he put it, “Everything was polished. And I just want people keep in my mind, especially when it comes to children, a lot of what we’re seeing—it’s not real. It is reality, but it is not real.”
