Kate Gosselin's son Aaden made a rare appearance on social media.
During a TikTok live on Aug. 15, Kate, 50, was joined by her 21-year-old son in a clip she later shared on her profile on Aug. 20.
Aaden is one of the sextuplets that Kate shares with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. Their other sextuplets include Alexis, Hannah, Collin, Leah and Joel. They are also parents to 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara.
Kate said Aaden had been sick but he emerged from his room and joined her on the couch as she interacted with fans and answered their questions.
The topic of Jon & Kate Plus 8 came up several times in the two-minute clip, and both Kate and Aaden reflected on the reality series.
"I would love to see my own reaction watching our show, actually," Kate said at one point. "I'd just cry the whole time."
Then she asked her son, seemingly reading a comment left by a viewer, "What's your favorite show memory?"
"What is my favorite memory?" Aaden repeated back to her as he thought about what his answer would be.
Kate again shared that she thinks it would be "interesting" to watch "old episodes" of the show back, a decade-and-a-half after the TLC series ended.
Aaden then had his answer for his favorite memory from Jon & Kate Plus 8: "Probably any time we went to Wyoming. That was really fun, yeah."

"Oh yeah," his mom agreed. "I was talking about it earlier, how they sold the ranch and we're all so sad."
During Aaden's rare appearance, his mom also shared what his personality is like.
"He's very chill," she said. "Aaden's very chill. He's just a laidback guy."
The comments were filled with fans sharing their reactions to Aaden, who was 5 years old when the show ended in 2009.
"It's wild seeing a grown-up Aaden! He was my favorite!" one fan wrote.
