Fans of the TLC family still get to see a lot of the family on Kate Plus 8, but it’s crazy to look back on far they’ve all come since their first appearance on TV.

Keep scrolling to see how the eight Gosselin kids have changed since their first appearance on TV.

Madelyn Gosselin (Then)

Madelyn Gosselin, better known asย Mady, was born on Oct. 8, 2000. A fraternal twin, she’s technically Jon and Kate’s second oldest child. Fans first got to know her on TV when she was just 6 years old.

Cara Gosselin (Then)

Cara Gosselin was also born on October 8, 2000, and isย Mady’s twin. Cara is the older of the twins, and the oldest Gosselinย kid. She was also only 6 when fans first saw her on the show.

As the twins have gotten older, they definitely look more different from one another. Cara, also 17, has lighter hair and different facial features than her twin.

Aaden Gosselin (Then)

Aaden is the third-born sextuplet. He and his siblings were born on May 10, 2004, and the whole crew was only toddlers when fans first met them on the TLC show. This cutie pie looks much different now, though.
