Married at First Sight couple Jamie Otis and husband Doug Hehner are expecting babies No. 3 and No. 4.
The duo initially revealed late last month that their third baby was on the way, but Otis, 37, has since revealed that she’s pregnant with twins.
“I’ve always wanted to be a twin mommy,” she told People on Monday, March 4. “My little sister and brother are twins, but my mom said it’d skip my generation and go to my kiddos, so I never expected I’d end up with twins!”
Otis went on to say that she and Hehner, 40, are “over-the-moon excited” for two more babies but also “a wee bit scared.”

Otis has experienced three miscarriages over the years, the first in July 2016, just over one year before Henley’s August 2017 birth. Her second pregnancy loss occurred in September 2018. Hendrix was born more than one year later in May 2020.
After “over three years” of trying for another pregnancy, Otis announced on February 20 that she and Hehner are expecting.
