Question

Are Kate Gosselin's parents deceased,why doesn't she ever mention them?

Answer 1

Who knows? We only see what Discovery wants us to know about them. We don't even know her maiden name to figure out who her parents are/were. You might want to send the question to the Discovery Channel's PR department and see if they're willing to release that information. If they are alive, it's possible they don't want anyone putting them in the public eye.

Answer 2

She did say in one of the episodes on TLC that her parents are still alive, they are just not involved nor do they want to be involved with the show, the same goes with John's parents.  Really only John's grandparents have been on the show for the sextuplets birthday and I think that is the episode they said that their parents were not involved.
