It’s been a mess ever since – at one point Collin even admitted he hadn’t spoken to his siblings in “five or six years,” and Jon was quick to blame Kate’s alleged estrangement tactics. The drama with this family never seemed to abate, but last month things finally started to improve!

Kate and Collin are still not talking, but she saw him graduate as well since it was the same time as Hannah. Jon was surprised that Kate had decided to come just because she’d been absent most of her life and he didn’t expect her to show up for graduation.”

And best of all? no drama! It was all about Hannah and Collins’ special day:

“Jon and Colleen have remained friends and he was happy to see them. It was a little tough for Jon having both his ex-girlfriend and ex-wife there, but everyone was polite and the kids were a top priority.”
