JON Gosselin has shared a picture of the homemade birthday cake his daughter Hannah made for him.
The reality TV star turned 43 on April 1 and his son Collin, 15, posted a special birthday message on social media while daughter Hannah, also 15, instead kept her celebrations more private.

“Quick snap of the bday cake Hannah made, she’s gonna not like that I posted her work!!!” posted Jon, adding: “But I’m proud cuz I could never make a triple chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing!!!
“Btw all from scratch!!! No box allowed on my bday!!! #coronabday #aprilfoolsdaybday #chocolatecake.”
Jon, 43, and his ex-wife Kate have been bitterly estranged since they split in 2009 and Jon has custody of two of the pair’s sextuplets, Collin and Hannah.
Leah, Alexis, Joel and Aaden, all 15, are all in Kate’s care, along with older twins Mady and Cara, and the six are thought to have little contact with their father.

Collin and Hannah have “no contact” with Kate, Jon previously claimed, after she placed him in a special needs facility for two years before Jon obtained custody in 2018.
Kate recently celebrated her 45th birthday and eldest daughter Mady shared a sweet of the celebration on Tik Tok.
She captioned the clip: “When you can’t go to a restaurant for your moms birthday you bring the restaurant to her :)”
In the video, Kate smiled while overlooking a table full of food and a birthday cake.

However, she snubbed her father’s big day; in 2016, Mady said in an interview with People: “He makes it seem like we’re being kept from him, which is insane.
“He should maybe spend some time thinking about why we don’t want to see him, and maybe realize that if he ever does want a relationship with us, talking about us on TV is not the way to make that happen.”
Jon and Kate have been involved in a nasty court battle over their eight children since their divorce after 10 years of marriage in 2009.
The Sun exclusively revealed in March that Pennsylvania court papers showed the lawyer for the children had begged the judge to allow the divided siblings to have visitation with each other during a court hearing on May 14, 2019.

The kids have their own lawyer, or a guardian ad litem, who is a representative of the court to make impartial decisions on the children’s behalf when there is a dispute between the mother and father.
In February, Jon said during an interview on First Class Fatherhood there is a “tumultuous” relationship between the kids that live with him and those that live with Kate.
He said of the children’s relationship: “Right now, it’s very tumultuous, pretty much, because there’s no contact between Collin and his other siblings.
“There’s contact between Hannah and the other siblings.
“So, the problem right now is we have parent alienation and we have sibling alienation.”
