Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner’s family just got bigger.
The Married at First Sight alums—who met and married on the first season of the reality series in 2014—welcomed twin boys Sept. 18 in Sarasota, Fla. Hawkins Tyler Hehner arrived first at 6:05 p.m. weighing 6 lbs., 4 oz., followed three minutes later by Huxley James Hehner who weighed 6 lbs., 8 ox., according to People.
The new arrivals join older sister Henley Grace, 7, and big brother Hendrix Douglas, 4, making the Hehners a family of six.
Jamie and Doug dealt with fertility struggles for several years as they tried to expand their family. The couple lost their first child, Jonathan Edward, at 17 weeks in 2016, and lost two more pregnancies between welcoming Henley and Hendrix before announcing they were expecting again in February.
“I'M FINALLY PREGNANT!!! I wanna scream it from the roof tops,” Jamie wrote on Instagram at the time. “THANK YOU GOD FOR THE BIGGEST BLESSING WE'VE HAD SINCE OUR LAST TWO EARTHLY BABIES! I'm still a bit in shock that we conceived NATURALLY. If you've been diagnosed with infertility or secondary infertility my heart BREAKS for you. It's the worst news ….. but don't lose hope.”
In March, the 38-year-old—who previously appeared on season 12 of The Bachelor—revealed the happy news that against all odds, she was carrying twins.
“I was diagnosed with infertility after my second baby - it didn’t make sense since I’ve already had children,” she wrote in a social media post. “We are now pregnant WITH TWINS. I didn’t have any fertility meds or treatment … these babies came to us spontaneously! I wanted to share this in hopes it can give someone who’s been on the same trying to conceive struggle bus some HOPE.”
