‘Married at First Sight’ Star Jamie Otis Pays Tribute to Her Late Son One Year After Miscarriage: “We Will Always Love You”
Always in her heart.
Married at First Sight's Jamie Otis took to Instagram on Thursday, July 12, to pay tribute to her late son, Johnathan, who she and her husband, Doug Hehner, lost one year ago.
“A year ago today was one of the most difficult, saddest days of my life … today is our angel baby’s heavenly birthday,” Jamie, 31, wrote.

In her post, the reality TV starlet — who suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage last July, four months into her pregnancy — shared photos of the tree she and Doug, 36, planted in honor of their late son.
“We wanted to remember him & honor him so we planted a beautiful tree front & center in our yard,” Jamie continued. “Every day we can see it, watch it grow, and be reminded of him.”
The Bachelor alum — who is currently pregnant and expecting a little girl with Doug — concluded, “He was only here with us for a short time, but he’ll always be in our hearts! … We will always love you sweet little Johnathan. Thanks for being a great big brother to your little sister.”

As previously reported in February, Jamie revealed via Instagram that she was pregnant with baby No. 2. “We are PREGNANT!!! Our sweet Baby Hehner is due this August,” she wrote in the caption with the hashtags “#pregnant” and “#overjoyed.”
At the time, Jamie and Doug posed for a rainbow-themed photo shoot to celebrate their “rainbow baby” — a term used for children who are born to parents who have previously gone through a miscarriage. Jamie held up a sonogram while Doug proudly displayed a sign that read, “Handpicked for Earth by my brother in heaven.”
