Madelyn Kate Gosselin Says She’s ‘So Proud’ to Be Korean-American After Feeling ‘Shame’ Over It in the Past

Mady shared a photo of herself as a kid, happily cradling her first American Girl doll. There’s more to the pic than meets the eye, though.

“She was from the ‘look-alike’ line and I named her jordan. she did not look like me; she had blonde hair and blue eyes, by my choice,” Mady wrote of the doll. “At the time, there wasn’t a doll from the line that looked like me, but more importantly, at 5, I chose a doll that reflected the way I thought I was suppose [sic] to look instead of the way I do.”

Mady went on to explain why the story behind the photo fills her “with a gross sort of discomfort and shame” today.

She says about her childhood

“Having grown up 50/50 (white and Korean), I was hyper aware of my ethnicity from a young age,” she wrote, “but the transition from awareness to shame was a slow progression that I didn’t notice happening until I was much older.”

Now, Mady wrote, she wants to “make it known that I’m so proud to celebrate being Korean-American today.”

“I’m proud to be a part of a community that has suffered through decades of ridicule and hate in this country (only made worse in the last 2 years) but have persevered through it powerfully and gracefully,” she wrote. “I’m also proud that I make a kick a** kimchi!!”

Mady, a college student, is one of eight children. She has a twin sister, Cara, as well as 17-year-old siblings Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel, and Leah. Their parents divorced in 2009.

Who are Mady’s parents?

Jonathan Keith Gosselin, the American former television personality, is Mady’s father. Gosselin’s mother, Pamela Castello was a second-generation Korean American.

Gosselin met Kate Kreider at a company picnic on October 5, 1997. They married on June 12, 1999. On October 8, 2000, their twin daughters, Cara Nicole and Madelyn “Mady” Kate, were born. Initially, Jon was against having a third child, but he and Kate eventually decided they would try again. On May 10, 2004, Kate gave birth to sextuplets: sons Aaden Jonathan, Collin Thomas, and Joel Kevin, and daughters Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, and Leah Hope. The sextuplets were born 10 weeks premature, which is common in cases of multiple births.

They got divorced

Jon stated that it is Kate who wanted the divorce, while Kate stated that “Jon’s activities” left her with “no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect” herself and the children.[citation needed] Jon released a statement in response, noting that his wife was the first to make a legal move, and speaking of his continuing love for his children. Speculation rose that Jon’s relationship with Hailey Glassman, the daughter of Kate’s plastic surgeon, was the cause for the divorce, but Glassman denied the speculation, saying that her relationship with Jon began only after Jon and Kate had been separated for months.
