The former reality television star Jon Gosselin revealed on Friday that none of his children that live with his ex Kate reached out to him after he tested positive for COVID-19. He confirmed this during an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show.”

“Did you ever hear from any of the kids that are with Kate or are in college after it was made public that you had COVID, not just had COVID but were deathly ill, could’ve died?”asked Dr. Mehmet Oz.

“No, I didn’t hear from them,” Gosselin replied. “I think Hannah might have told Leah…No, I haven’t heard anything from them.”

When asked why, Gosselin explained that “there’s just a disconnect.”

“Whether it’s parent alienation, I can’t really reach out to them and there’s legalities,” he admitted. “I can’t go to where they move, it would be trespassing.”

Gosselin then sent his children a message, saying, “I guess my plight to them or what I really want to say is I love you, my door is always open, you’re welcome anytime, there’s no regrets or hard feelings or any of those negative things. You can always come see me or come see Hannah and Collin.”

Gosselin and his ex-wife are parents to twin daughters Cara and Madelyn, 20, and sextuplets Alexis, Aaden, Joel, Leah, Hannah and Collin, 16. Hannah and Collin are in Gosselin’s custody, while the rest are with Kate.

This comes two months after Gosselin revealed that he had been hospitalized during his battle with the coronavirus, and that he was close to being put on a ventilator.

“I was in a wheelchair. I had to wait in the ER,” Gosselin recalled. “It was packed, like the hospital was full, and then they put me on a gurney and put me in the hallway in the waiting room, so I could get a temporary room, and then once they evaluated me and once they drew my blood and did all my blood work, all of a sudden I’m getting antibiotics, steroids and a plasma antibody transfusion for COVID. It happened really fast.”

In May of last year, Gosselin told Entertainment Tonight that he had been working as an IT director at a healthcare facility amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We see the undocumented and uninsured. We’re doing telemedicine and telephonic, and we’re using Ring Sensual for Zoom to see patients. So we’re not physically seeing patients right now,” he said at the time. “My job was to set up and teach providers, which are doctors, on how to use telemedicine. So I developed a procedure rather quickly and my boss, the CIO, bought software that we never used before. I had to learn it in five, six hours.”
