Kate Gosselin is sharing an update on her relationship with her daughter, Hannah.
During a TikTok video posted on Thursday, Aug. 14, the mom of eight, 50, revealed that her daughter Hannah, who is one of the sextuplets she shares with ex-husband Jon Gosselin, helped her set up an Amazon storefront.
"Hannah just called me and helped me get an Amazon list together of all the things that I mentioned and people keep asking me for, so guess what? It's on my TikTok profile now," Kate said in the video. "I know! I'm really excited because I was asking her for help. She's really good."

Some users were surprised that Kate mentioned Hannah, since the 21-year-old chose to live with her dad Jon in 2018 after her brother Collin also moved in. However, Kate explained that the two have always been in contact.
"I didn't even know Hannah still spoke to you," one person commented, which prompted Kate to reply, "Yep! Always has! Don't believe what you hear out there, constantly being shoved down your throat 😘."
Hannah, along with her brothers Collin, Joel, Aeden, and her sisters Alexis and Leah, make up the infamous sextuplets shared by Jon and Kate. The former couple is also parents to older twins, Mady and Cara, who are now 24.
At the time of the divorce, Kate was granted full custody of all eight kids, and she revealed she placed Collin in a program for children with special needs due to what she called "unpredictable and violent behavior."
After he spent two years in the facility, Collin moved in with Jon in 2018. Hannah followed shortly after.
This past May, Hannah spoke with Teen Vogue and opened up about her parents' messy divorce. Although she said that knowing that the whole world knew about their family drama was difficult, she ultimately appreciates what the experience has done for her.
“[Filming] made my siblings and I closer to each other, even though it made my parents further from each other,” she admitted, also acknowledging, “It’s hard to go back and watch my parents argue.”
In 2023, Collin alleged Kate "drove a barrier" between him and his siblings during an appearance with Hannah and Jon in an episode of Vice TV's Dark Side of the 2000s. Also, in a 2024 interview with The Sun, he further accused Kate of being "physically aggressive" and "verbally, very abusive" toward him.
At the time, Kate shared a statement to PEOPLE and said that her son has a "distorted perception of reality."
"My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs," she wrote at the time, adding, "Collin's distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with."
Jon also responded, telling PEOPLE: "Regarding these brand new false accusations, it seems clear that even today after not seeing her son since the 6th grade, Kate is unable to control her abusive words towards him.”
