Jamie Otis from Married At First Sight posted a tribute to her dad whom she never met. The registered nurse and jewelry designer from the first season of the show knows what it’s like to be a parent. Jamie is a mother of three children: Johnathan Edward, Hendrix Douglas, and Henley Grace Hehner. Jamie’s husband Doug Hehner is father to their 3-year-old daughter Henley. Even though Jamie never met her dad, she was moved to post a tribute to him on social media recently.
Jamie made her Married At First Sight debut in the first season. While on the show she met her husband Doug. At one point, Jamie thought marrying Doug would be a mistake. The husband and wife have now been together for seven years and share a daughter. Jamie’s hesitation was a result of their disastrous first meeting. The mother of three revealed that she was not attracted to Doug on their wedding day and the two were awkward. The bride was so upset that she cried the entire day and avoided Doug. With no sparks flying, Jamie and Doug built a friendship and emotional connection before introducing romance into their relationship. The nurse shared many milestones in their relationship including her struggle with postpartum depression. The Married At First Sight star even calls herself the “Queen of sharing TMI in stories” in her Instagram bio. As part of their relationship, Jamie has shared their journey of being mom and dad to their children.
