AceShowbiz - Two can play at that game. Collin Gosselin excluded Kate Gosselin from his celebratory graduation post after it was reported that Kate "coldly snubbed" him at the ceremony earlier this month.
On Wednesday, June 21, the 17-year-old took to his Instagram account to let out some pictures from the event. One picture saw Collin posing with his sister Hannah in the car, while dad Jon Gosselin was in the driver seat.
"Better late than never! Graduation [check emoji]," the former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star began his caption. "I wasn't totally sold on the idea of making a graduation post, as most students graduate, therefore making it not such a big deal."
He continued, "So I decided to anchor this post more towards gratitude for mentors, friends, and of course family… I want to first thank my amazing sister, Hannah, for standing by me and supporting me, she is my number 1."
He also expressed gratitude towards his dad "for always supporting my decisions, and having my back when I bite off more than I can chew." He additionally thanked Jon's ex-girlfriend Colleen Conrad, saying, "I'd like to thank Colleen for rooting for me day in and day out. When you think of someone you want by your side, you think of Colleen. And as I've told her many times, she is my motivator for being successful in this world."
After paying tribute to his Army Junior ROTC instructors, Collin revealed his next plan following the graduation. "This chapter of my life has come to a close… Next stop Parris Island and soon after I will be studying Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in college! Can't wait!!!"
Prior to this, it was said that Kate "coldly snubbed" Collin as she attended Hannah and Collin's high school graduation. A source claimed that gave "only Hannah love" at the ceremony. "Kate did end up taking photos with Hannah, but never spoke to Collin and never took photos with him," the insider added.
It was also said that the 48-year-old "didn't even clap" for the teens. "[Her presence] was a bit of a surprise considering she truly has been missing from most of Collin's adult life and barely sees Hannah," the source added.
Kate reportedly attended the ceremony with Leah, one of Hannah and Collin's sextuplet siblings. As for Alexis, Joel and Aaden (19), as well as twins Madelyn and Cara (22), they were reportedly not present at the Pennsylvania ceremony.
