The New Stars of Reality TV

Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight children visit The Oprah Show in 2008.
In February 2008, The Oprah Show flew the Gosselin family to Chicago to share their incredible story. Millions of TV viewers know the Gosselins from TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8, a reality series that documents the lives of parents who are raising twins and sextuplets.

After Jon and Kate had twin girls, Cara and Maddy, they wanted to try for one more…but got six instead! Hannah, Joel, Leah, Collin, Alexis and Aaden are unexpected blessings who have won over viewers around the world.

Read an excerpt from Jon and Kate's book, Multiple Blessings.

Since their first trip to Chicago, the sextuplets turned 5 years old and started school. The Gosselins also moved into a new home and welcomed two new members to the family, puppies named Shoka and Nala.
