Jon's father did pass away when the babies were a few months old. He was their hands-on helpful grandparent and they miss him dearly. Jon's mom, however, is still present in their life, but just doesn't want to be on TV. Jon talks to his mom more than once a day and she does see the kids. She lives 80+ miles from the Gosselins and isn't able to be in the children's immediate life.

Kate's parents have nothing to do not only with Kate and her family, but with all of her siblings' families as well. They have basically detached themselves from their children and grandchildren. The live and work in the same area the Gosselins live.

Jon addresses the issue of their parents -- and their involvement with the family -- in an interview with KUTV. See Sources and Related Links below this answer for the video: mention of the grandparents is in the 2nd or 3rd video segment.

  • Kate's father has his Master's degree in Education. He is a teacher, a minister, owns a large campground, was in local government, and they just built a large beautiful house. Due to various reasons, unknown to the viewers, they are not around.

    Kate is not estranged from her parents. She stated in an episode of the show that they simply don't live in the same neighborhood. And added that just because you don't see them on the show, they still participate in the lives of all 8 Gosselin children.

  • The Kreiders are living in Hershey, PA (supposedly disowned by Kate). Jon's father died when the twins were 2. Mrs. Gosselin (now remarried) still lives in Wyomissing, PA. She and her new husband don't have much at all to do with the kids.
  • According to the book "Multiple Blessings," Jon's father passed away when the twins were 4. He was not present for the sextuplets' second Christmas.

Kate Gosselin is estranged from her parents. Because when the babies were born, Kates dad donated cribs and clothing, and Kate refused since the clothing was not matching, and the cribs were not exactly the same.
