Jamie Otis Suffers Another Miscarriage, Remains Determined to Have a Baby

Jamie Otis is a woman on a mission.

But that mission has taken another tragic turn for the terribly unfortunate.

The former Married at First Sight cast member, who is the mother to a beautiful daughter named Gracie and who suffered a miscarriage in 2016, confirmed on Sunday that she experienced a chemical pregnancy just days after she posted a picture of a pregnancy test that she hoped was positive.

This is such heartbreaking news.

“Sorry I’ve been MIA, this very bizarre positive pregnancy test then negative test then faint positive lines gave me hope that Gracie was going to become a big sis in 9 months,” wrote the ex-TLC star, adding as part of a caption to the photo above:

“But the night before last I began having terrible contraction-like pains & spotting.”

Otis is a nurse. She had a strong feeling about what this meant.

“Then over the night full blown everything – if you know what I mean,” she continued.

“I’m a nurse so I had my suspicions; but my midwife confirmed I had a chemical pregnancy.

“I don’t know why some people have it seemingly SO easy to get preggers & carry their babies to term and others struggle?”

There’s no answer to this question, of course.

It’s just a very unfair aspect of life.

(For those wondering, a chemical pregnancy is defined as an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation of a fertilized egg. The exact cause is unknown.)

Referring to her daughter and to husband Doug Hehner, Otis put on an impresively brave face and continued:

“What I do know is that I am so, so thankful for this little girl [and her daddy] right here. It’s like she knew mommy was in so much pain bc she just wanted to be held and snuggled all night long.”

Otis had shared a photo of what looked like a positive pregnancy test on Instagram on Friday, August 31.

“If I stare long enough I see the faintest ‘+’ sign,” she wrote, asking followers to send “baby dust, prayers & positivity” her way.

Jamie and Doug met on the first season of Married at First Sight.

And the former emphasized in this same Instagram post that she isn’t done trying to give Gracie a brother or sister.

Showing gratitude to her fans for their “prayers & positive energy,” Otis wrote:

“We have to wait a cycle before trying again, but I am on a mission to make Gracie a big sis now. …has this happened to anyone else where you go through a loss & then all you want – the only healing thought – is to become pregnant with a healthy pregnancy?!

“This happened to me after our sweet Johnathan & the same feelings have come back.”

Johnathan is the name Jamie and Doug gave their son who they lost after Otis was pregnant with him for four months.

They honored him in moving fashion about a year later.

Otis concluded her latest post by thanking her fans as follows:

“I feel like I have a million sisters/friends who i call my ‘frans’ right here & I appreciate you, your prayers, your thoughts & words of love for me & my little family more than you’ll ever know!”

We send our thoughts and prayers to Otis and Hehner.

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner: We Have GREAT News!

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner have had pain and joy in their lives, and their fans are still keeping up with the couple throughout their highs and lows.

Jamie and Doug know that, which is why they’ve announced that they’re coming back to reality television.

This Married at First Sight couple will be getting their very own spin-off!

Married at First Sight might sound like a parody of a reality concept instead of a real show, but no, you didn’t imagine it in some satirical nightmare.

Despite the absurd premise, things worked out okay for Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner. They really hit things off.

Unfortunately, their new love was marred by tragedy when Jamie Otis miscarried at 4 months, back in July of 2016.

The couple grieved the loss of what would have been their first child.

On the one year anniversary of that tragic loss, Jamie and Doug honored their son with a memorial tree.

As we mentioned at the time, memorial trees are extremely tasteful and also allow you to watch a living thing grow and thrive.

Even before they hit that one-year mark, however, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner announced that they were expecting.

And, back in late August, their expectations were met.

The couple welcomed Henley Grace, their firstborn daughter, into the world. A wonderful development for a couple who deserves happiness.

In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Jamie Otis shared the couple’s latest good news:

“In our new spinoff, the joys — and struggles — as first-time parents will be out there for all the world to see.”

The Lifetime series will be called Married at First Sight: Jamie & Doug Plus One.

And Jamie explains what it’s all about.

“First of all, everyone knows giving birth is no joke, but who the heck knew the recovery would be excruciating for days?! And I’m not even talkin’ C-section.”

Some people don’t know that, true, but giving birth is agonizing, difficult, and draining. And it can leave you with serious injuries and bleeding and a lot of recovery.

As Jamie now knows firsthand:

“I could barely walk, let alone go to the bathroom!”

A lot about biology can be embarrassing. Childbirth is amazing but it has some serious downsides.

And Jamie Otis says that there’s another low that doesn’t get discussed enough:

“And breastfeeding, that’s another one that isn’t talked about (and I’m guilty as charged being a labor and delivery nurse!).”

She doesn’t get into details here, but Jamie has revealed on social media that she’s now having trouble getting Henley to nurse.

Lots of babies wean themselves when they just decide that they don’t have time for nursing anymore, but … not this young.

So we’ll see how Jamie Otis managed to tackle that.

Don’t worry, though — the series will also focus on the positive:

“But let me tell ya, there is NOTHING more amazing than looking down to a sweet face that resembles you and your hubby — and no greater feeling than knowing you created this precious being.”

Awwww! That’s so sweet!

“All of the firsts as parents is captured in our new series — and it’s quite raw.”

That sounds really exciting.

We’re looking forward to this — and to hearing what Doug Hehner considers his personal highs and lows.

We do have one nitpicky issue, and it’s with the title.

Married at First Sight: Jamie & Doug Plus One reminds us too much of the television series that brought Kate Gosselin to fame.

We don’t think that Jamie and Doug are monsters, so we hate anything that would associate them with that infamously terrible mother.

Other than that, this sounds amazing. We can’t wait to see baby Henley grow up before our very eyes!

Jamie Otis: I Love My Post-Baby Bod!

Way earlier this year, we told you that Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner were expecting again.

The Married at First Sight couple, after everything that they’d endured, deserved to welcome some happiness into their lives.

Well, Jamie Otis gave birth — and just three days later, she’s showing off her post-baby body!

Married at First Sight might be a borderline-horrifying premise for a reality series, but at least its helped the world to get to know some wonderful couples.

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner deserve to be happy.

We’ll talk about why this happy, healthy childbirth last week was such a huge step over their past sadness.

But first, take a look at Jamie’s post-baby body.

She looks so happy!

She shared this photo on Friday.

That’s just three days after she gave birth, folks.

Considering that, just days earlier, she’d looked like a particularly large watermelon was hiding beneath her skin in the hopes of going unnoticed as summer wanes, this is a huge difference.

Jamie’s captions really express her happiness.

“Outfit of the day … I share all the details in my insta story! Lol no but seriously, I love every bit of my postpartum bod.”

We love that she started off with a joke about how so many celebs plug their clothes in otherwise personal posts.

Also, we love that she’s loving her body.

“It’s truly amazing how my body helped create & carry an 8 lb 2 oz baby …. I’m feelin’ like I can conquer the WORLD after pushing her out.”

8 pounds is no laughing matter, folks.

It’s no wonder that she feels so unstoppable.

(We cannot imagine the agony of childbirth and we never, ever want to)

“Women are SO much stronger than we give ourselves credit for.”

Remember, this was her baby bump:

Previously, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner suffered a tragic miscarriage, just four months into an earlier pregnancy.

We know that most women unknowingly miscarry several times during their lives, but actual miscarriages — after a couple knows that they’re pregnant, and after they’ve announced their pregnancy to the world — are absolutely devastating.

Some couples end up mourning for their entire lives.

Jamie and Doug honored their stillborn child earlier this summer, on the one year anniversary of his death.

The couple, who were of course already pregnant at that point, planted a memorial tree in his honor.

That is a beautiful (and environmentally friendly) way of honoring his memory, getting a little closure on their grief, and putting up a lasting tribute that can stand the test of time.

Seriously, we’re glad that their chidlbirth was successful.

A lot of reality couples don’t work out — and, again, these two are from Married at First Sight, so they really beat the odds.

A lot of regular ol’ couples split up after a miscarriage.

That kind of grief can change people, and it can make partners grow apart as they begin to remind each other of their shared pain.

Clearly, Jamie and Doug found a way to grieve together instead of letting one tragedy tear them apart.

And now they have a new baby, Henley Grace Hehner!

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner Welcome First Child!

They were Married at First Sight.

And now they’re in love at first sight…

… with their first child!

A rep for Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner has confirmed to People Magazine that the reality stars welcomed a daughter into their world on Tuesday.

The details are as follows:

• Name: Henley Grace Hehner.


• Born at: 5:24 a.m.


• Weight: Eight pounds, two ounces.


• Height: 20.2 inches.

“Mommy and baby are doing well and Daddy is in pure bliss,” this rep tells the aforementioned publication.

Shortly after this confirmation went viral, the brand new parents shared the following precious photo from their daughter’s Instagram account:

Yup. You read that correctly: Henley Grace Hehner is just a few hours old and already has an Instagram account.

“Wrapped around my daddy’s finger already. #skintoskin #daddysgirl #newborn,” read the caption to this cute image.

Jamie, meanwhile, gave People a shout-out on her own social media account, while also making the following statement as a caption to an exclusive photo from that magazine:

I’ve never been more in love.@henleygracehehner, you’re mommy’s everything. Thanks, @people for being just as excited as we are to welcome our sweet baby girl.. #MyGracieGirl #MyEverything

Jamie and Doug got married within seconds of meeting each other for the first time on the reality series Married at First Sight in 2014.

They are one of the few success stories from that series… heck, from any reality series.

Just over a year ago, they tragically lost a child to a miscarriage after Jamie was four months along.

“Our Baby Hehner was just too beautiful for earth,” Jamie wrote at the time, adding:

“I love him so much – ALWAYS will – and can’t wait to meet him in heaven one day. Please pray for us.”

They shared a heartbreaking photo at the time and were as open as they could be about what happened, with Doug writing last summer:

“There are no words to express the pain and sorrow associated with losing our baby.”

We really cannot imagine.

In April, Otis spoke to People in an exclusive interview about how excited she was to be a mother.

“I’ve always wanted to have that mother-daughter relationship that I kind of missed out on with my mom,” said the reality star, who opened up about her difficult relationship with her mother in her memoir Wifey 101.

“I secretly hoped to be a mommy to a little girl and to have a little mini me.”

We’re so very happy for Jamie and Doug!

We can’t wait to see more baby photos!

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner Honor Son Lost to Miscarriage, One Year Later

One year ago, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner had a tragic miscarriage four months into the pregnancy.

The Married At First Sight stars grieved and mourn and shared their loss with the world.

Now it’s a year later, and while they are excited to be expecting again, they haven’t forgotten their son who would have been, Johnathan.

We see a photo of the two of them standing by Johnathan’s memorial tree in their backyard, but it’s the heartfelt caption that really hits home for fans of the family and for those who understand their loss.

In an emotional message, punctuated by emojis, Jamie Otis took to Instagram to share how she and her husband are feeling, one year later.

“A year ago from today was our last full day pregnant with our first born son.”

Calendar dates can be wonderful for birthdays and anniversaries; for remembering a loss, they can be cruel.

“Johnathan was delivered on July 13th, 2016 at just 17 weeks, 1 day. He was way too little to survive outside the womb.”

That must have been agonizing in ways that most of us cannot even imagine.

Though we have seen Jamie and Doug in that hospital photo, seeing and feeling are different things.

“I remember feeling so helpless – there was nothing I could do to help my baby.”

That’s every parent’s nightmare.

“I swore to myself, to my hubby, to God, to my baby boy, and to ANYONE who would listen that I’d never let him just be forgotten.”

She’s really keeping that promise.

She also talks about coping mechanisms, which are important to have and also important to share with others who might need them.

“I blogged a lot to help cope with the loneliness; to numb the pain.”

No matter how loving and supportive a spouse and family might be, a miscarriage hits home in ways that most people can’t understand or provide comfort for.

“I will forever be thankful & I’ll never forget the countless Frans – and even strangers – who reached out to me to offer love & support.”

“Frans,” as in fans who are friends or like friends.

It’s cute.

And then she talks about the memorial.

“…I planned ways to honor our angel baby’s short, sweet life.”

There are a lot of ways to do that.

“One of the ways I wanted to remember him was by planting a tree for him & watching it grow.”

That will only grow more meaningful as the years go by.

“Now that we finally have our own home and our own backyard we can plant that tree. We researched and found a tree that blossoms all summer long.”

That’s absolutely beautiful.

She then invited fans and followers to join her in keeping her son’s memory alive, last night but also always.

Everybody grieves and mourns in their own way.

We’re sure that part of Jamie looks forward to the day that the hardest thing that she has to do is confront body-shamers.

It’s not for us — or anyone — to say if someone’s grieving too little or too much.

(Besides, you don’t know what’s going on internally)

But in Jamie’s case, it looks like she’s found a good balance and a healthy way to cope and to move forward with her life.

And such a sweet, tasteful way to immortalize her son’s memory.

Jamie Otis: See Her Amazing Response to Her Body Shamer!

Jamie Otis, star of Married at First Sight and generally lovely human being, has been having some issues on social media lately.

You’ll never believe this, but she’s actually been having to deal with mean, hateful strangers on the internet.

She’s been dealing with one awful person in particular — a woman who decided to body shame her over the way her breasts looked in a Facebook Live video.

In the video, Jamie was reviewing one of those subscription boxes, and she was also wearing a somewhat revealing shirt.

How dare she, right?

Here’s the most scandalous shot from the video, one where she was hunched over a bit:

Upon seeing the video, some woman thought it was appropriate to leave a comment that read “I’m just trying to figure out what’s lopsided — her boobs, her bra or her shirt … Woman, have some respect for yourself.”

OK, for one, mind your business. For two, it’s totally normal for women to have breasts that are two different sizes.

And for three, Jamie is pregnant. Pregnancy boobs have minds of their own, and Jamie should not be criticized for that.

Unfortunately, Jamie saw the comment. And it really, really bothered her. Enough that she wrote a blog post about it.

In the post, she wrote that she’d been away for a long weekend during which she hadn’t checked her social media, so when she got back home, she was looking forward to seeing comments and messages from her friends and “frans.”

“Frans” is what she calls fans that have become friends — Jamie Otis is too cute for this world.

So she was excited to check out her Facebook, but then she saw that inappropriate, rude comment. And that happiness just went right out the window.

“Instantly I felt my smile fade,” she wrote. “My mood went bleak. I immediately looked down to my chest to see if my boobs are really that noticeably ‘lopsided’ …?!”

“Then I re-watched my video to see if my breasts looked completely abnormal? I wasn’t thinking of my breasts or even paying attention to them when I was chatting with all of my friends and frans live on Facebook.”

She said that she’s a bit hormonal, being 18 weeks pregnant, and that she’s “a bit sensitive, too” because she’s been bullied before.

“I used to be so insecure,” she explained, “that I would just keep quiet and not say anything. As a matter of fact, I would do ANYTHING to get the person who was bullying and shaming me to begin to like me.”

Jamie ended up sending a private message to the woman who body shamed her, and she shared that in the post too — turns out her boobs actually are significantly different sizes because she had a lump removed from one when she was younger.

She spilled her heart out to this woman, she kindly asked her to stop leaving such superficial, harmful messages, and you know what the woman did?

She replied with “Modesty is an option. I don’t give a damn what size your breasts are. You’re broadcasting a video that you know lots of people are going to see. And all I can see is your boobs about to jiggle out of your shirt.”

Some people are just awful. This woman is just awful.

Jamie wrote that though this response left her speechless, “My goal in sharing this experience is that any woman who stumbles across this post will just think about their comments before they post them.”

“Maybe we as women could go out of our way to build each other up instead of tear each other down.”

What a woman, right?

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner: We"re Expecting Again!!!

Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner have responded to tragedy in the most exciting and inspiring way possible:

The couple has announced it is expecting another baby!

Back in July, the Married at First sight stars revealed that Jamie had suffered a miscarriage.

Otis shared a heartbreaking message on Instagram at the time, alerting followers to this horrible piece of news. She addressed the message to the child she had lost.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t wake up thinking of you, Baby Hehner. I know I have to get back to ‘normal life’ but I just don’t know how to,” Otis wrote, sharing her thoughts alongside pictures of her with both her husband and a baby bump from just days before.

She concluded at the time:

“Today daddy and I are going to pick out a perfect name for you. We love you so much. I hope you’re bouncing on clouds and feeling loved all the way up in heaven.”

That was then, however.

And while the pain of a miscarriage will never leave Otis or Hehner, the two took to social media again yesterday to share something far more positive.

The following photo pretty much speaks for itself:

“We are PREGNANT!!! Our sweet Baby Hehner is due this August,” Otis wrote.

She went on to talk about the son they lost, whom they named Johnathan, writing:

“We love him so much and are so happy to know he’s looking down from Heaven taking care of his little sister/brother…

“PS forgive me for my unbuttoned jeans. I’m at that awkward stage where I don’t quite fill out maternity jeans but I definitely don’t fit in my regular clothes.”

LOL, Jamie.

The couple also talked to People Magazine about their pregnancy and impending child.

“Doug and I have been praying and not so patiently waiting to have our rainbow baby since we lost our first born, Johnathan Edward, in July 2016,” Otis tells the publication.

She added:

“We are feeling so blessed and truly thankful for this little miracle growing inside of me. Being a mother has been a long awaited dream of mine. It goes without saying that Doug is going to be the best daddy ever.

“We cannot wait to meet Baby Hehner this coming summer!”

We are so very happy for Jamie and Doug! They so deserve this happy news!

Join us in sending congratulations to these stars and to the other stars expecting a child in 2017:

Jamie Otis Mourns Late Son, Shares New Photo

Jamie Otis has spoken out again about the pain she experienced in July when she lost her son to a miscarriage, four months into her pregnancy.

The Married at First Sight star and husband Doug Hehner endured the worst sort of loss this summer, writing at the time that “there are no words to express the pain and sorrow associated with losing our baby.”

We truly cannot imagine.

Even now, a few months after this tragedy, Otis cannot stop thinking or talking about her late child.

“October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. I can’t sleep well tonight so I blogged about my sweet boy, Johnathan Edward,” Otis wrote in the Instagram caption alongside a black-and-white photo of herself and Hehner in the hospital with their tiny boy. “

Added Otis:

“I realize there is a great stigma associated with sharing photos of your baby who was born too early and has already gone to heaven so I want to say sorry if this offends you.

“However, if there’s one thing my husband has taught me it’s this: ‘Don’t live life trying NOT to offend anyone and trying to please everyone."”

Concluded the former reality star:

“I hope by me sharing my sweet boy, Johnny (as Doug and I call him), you’ll realize that he’s a harmless, helpless baby who deserves to be remembered, not hidden away because his image may offend someone.

“And if you’ve lost your baby early, please know that you’re not alone. Unfortunately, 1 in 4 women are affected by this. Yet, no one talks about it. I hope this can change. I’ll be the first in my circle. You be the first in yours.

“My prayers go out to everyone who has lost their sweet baby too early.”

Soon after this terrible loss, Otis wrote a message to little Johnny.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t wake up thinking of you, Baby Hehner,” she wrote in mid-July, adding:

“I know I have to get back to ‘normal life’ but I just don’t know how to. Today daddy and I are going to pick out a perfect name for you. We love you so much.

“I hope you’re bouncing on clouds and feeling loved all the way up in heaven. #ourangel #LoveYou #angelbaby.”

Regarding this latest photo, Otis told Entertainment Tonight that her hope is to spread awareness of something that happens often… yet is rarely talked about.

“I’ve realized that there are SO many women who have experienced a similar loss and feel so isolated from it,” she told that program.

“It wasn’t until I blogged [that I realized that] so many women feel the same way as me. It’s taboo to share photos and talk about miscarriage.

“I really want to desensitize this topic. I want to show [other women who have miscarried] that they aren’t alone, and I want to give them a space where they can share their sweet baby who was taken from the world too early.

“I hope by me sharing my story and my son, Johnny, it helps women who have gone through similar circumstances or who are going through a loss now.”

View Slideshow: 26 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage

Concluded Otis:

“Since we lost our son I’ve felt so alone and sad. It’s been one of the worst experiences in my life. My biggest fear is that my sweet little baby will just be forgotten and it will be like he never even existed.

“I wanted to share Johnny so as he looks down from Heaven he’ll know how loved, cherished, and important he still is to his mommy and daddy.”

Johnny was 17 weeks and one day old when he died.

May he rest in peace.

Jamie Otis Shares Heartbreaking Message to Baby She Miscarried

Jamie Otis has shared an emotional message on Instagram… to her late baby.

As previously reported, Otis and Doug Hehner (who met and got married on the reality series Married at First Sight) lost their first child due to a miscarriage last week.

The tragic event took place just a few days after they went public with Jamie’s pregnancy.

Soon afterward, Otis wrote a post on her official blog, trying to put the pain of this loss into words.

“My heart is so heavy,” she wrote at the time. “There are no words to express the pain and sorrow associated with losing our baby Hehner.”

On Saturday, meanwhile, Otis continued to mourn by posting a collage of the famous couple in happier times.

She included with this photo a message to the late child himself.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t wake up thinking of you, Baby Hehner,” Otis wrote.

“I know I have to get back to ‘normal life’ but I just don’t know how to. Today daddy and I are going to pick out a perfect name for you. We love you so much.

“I hope you’re bouncing on clouds and feeling loved all the way up in heaven. #ourangel #LoveYou #angelbaby.”

One day earlier, as posted above, Otis also relayed a telling quote in honor of her baby.

It read:

“We never had the chance to play, to laugh, to rock, to wiggle. We long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.”

Otis, who also appeared on The Bachelor a few years ago, now works as a nurse.

She met Hehner on Season 1 of Married at First Sight and defied the odds by remaining happily married to him.

The two then documented their life as a married couple on spinoff series titled Married at First Sight: The First Year.

Doug grieved about his wife’s miscarriage in a touching Instagram post last Wednesday, July 13, writing on his social media account:

“#BabyHehner even though you could only leave us with your footprints, you will forever remain in our hearts.

“@jamieotis and I love you! Thank you everyone for your love and support.”

Jamie Otis Opens Up About Miscarriage, Tries to Put Pain Into Words

Jamie Otis has experienced something she wishes no woman would ever have to experience:

Just days after announcing she was pregnant, the reality star lost the baby to a miscarriage.

Otis, who exchanged vows with Doug Hehner immediately after meeting him on the series Married at First Sight, took to her official blog a day after this tragic news went public and poured her heart into a new message.

She attempted to put what she and Doug are going through into words.

“My heart is so heavy,” wrote Otis, whose little boy was due in December.

“There are no words to express the pain and sorrow associated with losing our baby Hehner.”

Otis went on to write that she had just recently chose to visit a high risk pregnancy doctor’s office due to concerns that she was bleeding more than a pregnant woman should.

The reality star added that child was still moving around and had a strong heartbeat at the time; physicians found nothing wrong with the placenta, either.

Visiting the first of four specialists, Otis and Hehner discovered that things were not okay with their bundle of joy:

She did not have enough amniotic fluid.

“How could the prognosis be so ‘poor’ when I had just seen our baby’s feet kicking and his little body bouncing around in my belly less than a week before,” Otis writes.

“Needless to say, we didn’t want to believe in that prognosis even though everyone raved about how amazing this doctor is. (And there’s no doubt in my mind he is an amazing doctor, but we were just in such denial!)

“We decided I would go on bed rest, drink lots of coconut water and even more regular spring water and fight for our baby.”

Otis also shared the above collage on Instagram and wrote the following as a caption:

Baby Hehner, daddy made this picture collage for you. It’s only been one day since we lost you, but our love for you has grown more than you’ll know.

You’re our little Angel up in Heaven.

We cannot wait to meet you and hold you again one day. We love you and miss you.

We send our condolences to this couple at this very difficult time.

Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis Lose Baby to Miscarriage

Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis have tragically lost their baby, five months before he or she was scheduled to enter the world.

In an emotional Instagram message, Otis broke the news to followers of the couple, who met on the reality show Married at First Sight.

“Our Baby Hehner was just too beautiful for earth,” she rote.

“I love him so much – ALWAYS will – and can’t wait to meet him in heaven one day. Please pray for us.”

Alongside this tragic confirmation, Otis shared a message that read as follows:

“An angel opened up the book of life and wrote down my baby’s birth. Then she whispered as she closed the book, ‘He’s too beautiful for earth."”

Here’s a look at that message as she posted it:

Otis was due to give birth in December.

It would have been the first child for both her Hehner.

The reality star announced they were expecting, via an interview with People Magazine, just last week.

“Jamie is the strongest woman I know,” a close friend tells the publication in light of this news, adding:

“And Doug has remained her rock through everything. Their love will get them through this.”

Otis and Hehner met for the first time on their wedding day, per the rules of the aforementioned reality series.

Their unconventional relationship has since been chronicled on their spin-off program, Married at First Sight: The First Year.

They seemed legitimately in love, despite of the unusual way in which their marriage began.

“We certainly worked on the relationship, and I think when you’re in the trenches and you make it out together, you become stronger as a couple,” Hehner recently said on the Today show.

Well said.

We send them our best wishes and condolences during this difficult period.
