MAFS’ Jamie and Doug Hehner's Relationship Timeline

Relationships are hard work — something Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner have freely admitted throughout their marriage.

The couple were matched and married during the first season of Married at First Sight in 2014. Otis had previously searched for love during season 16 of The Bachelor in 2012 and on season 3 of Bachelor Pad.

Throughout the couple’s relationship, they weathered ups and downs. In August 2021, Otis described “a heated call” she and Hehner had with their couple’s counselor, which “ended [with] us holding each other & trying to figure out our next steps TOGETHER.”

After eight years of marriage — and plenty of challenges along the way — the duo agreed they were “not giving up on each other,” she wrote via Instagram.

“I will fight for my family! I mean, sometimes more than they even want me to…,” Otis added at the time. “But right now, I’m fighting for my marriage. For my children. For ME..”

The reality TV couple share daughter Henley Grace, son Hendrix Douglas and twins Huxley and Hawkins. Their road to parenthood wasn’t easy, however, with Otis suffering multiple miscarriages over the years.
