Jamie and Doug’s two sons were born on Wednesday, September 18 just three minutes apart.

Hawkins Tyler was born at 6:05PM weighing six pounds and four ounces. And he measured 19.9 inches long.

Hawkins’ twin brother, Huxley James, joined the Hehner family just three minutes later. The baby weighed six pounds and eight ounces, and he measured 19.7 inches long.

Jamie revealed that Huxley was a breech birth and he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck; however, the baby is healthy and doing fine now.

Jamie also gushed about how her newborn babies “instantly held hands” when they reunited outside of her womb.

“This still feels like a dream,” Jamie shared via social media, adding how she’ll “share more when I have time later.”

The twins join Jamie and Doug’s daughter Henley “Gracie” Grace, who was born in August 2017, and son Hendrix, who was born in May 2020 .

Jamie and Doug, who got married on Season 1 of Married at First Sight in 2014, uploaded a video to YouTube on April 22, found out the sex of their second twin baby in late April.

In the video, Jamie, Doug, and their kids — Henley, 7, and Hendrix Douglas, 4 — were dressed up like bumble bees as the kids attempted to smash a pinata that was shaped like a beehive and read, “What will It Bee?”

Doug joked upon finding out about the boys, “It’s about time the males have shifted [the numbers] in this house]… [Jamie has] 20 fingers, 20 toes and two penises inside of [her] .”

for the first sex reveal earlier that month, Jamie and Doug shot confetti cannons into the air revealing blue confetti. The theme of their first gender-reveal party was “He or She, What Will Babies Bee?”

“This pregnancy has been the biggest blessing from God,” Jamie noted at the time, “and we will forever be thankful!… Our whole family is so excited to meet them this fall! Now we just need to figure out what to name them.”

Jamie and Doug announced that Jamie was pregnant with twins on March 4 via YouTube, shortly after the pair had discovered Jamie was going to have another baby .

“This is the biggest news I think I’ve ever had in my entire life,” Jamie said in the video, before her husband added, “It’s wild!”

Jamie gushed, “It’s beyond my wildest imagination. I can ‘t even fathom that this is happening to us. It’s not something I thought, at all, would be in my future.”

Doug also appeared shocked by the news and very excited to become a family of five.

The couple celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in April 2024.

OnMarried at First Sight‘s first season, Jamie wasn’t initially attracted to her husband, and so she had doubts the relationship was going to last. However, she became attracted to his personality and his willingness to support her and fight for their marriage.

As a result, Jamie and Doug opted to stay together on “Decision Day,” and they went on to start a family.

The couple revealed in early 2021 they had begun trying for a third child , but then Jamie shared in August of that year they had decided to put Baby No. 3 “on the back burner” while they worked on strengthening their marriage.

The spouses have experienced their fair share of heartbreak and adversity, which they’ve overcome together.

Jamie and Doug lost their first-born child Johnathan in 2016. Jamie had delivered her son at 17 weeks when she was only four months pregnant.

Following the tragedy, Jamie went on to suffer a chemical pregnancy and another miscarriage .

In addition to starring on Married at First Sight‘s first season, Jamie and Doug co-starred onMarried at First Sight: The First Year, a spinoff which continued to follow the two MAFS Season 1 couples who opted to remain together during their first year of marriage.

Jamie and Doug also later starred on Married at First Sight: Jamie and Doug Plus One , their own spinoff which premiered in December 2017 but didn’t last.

Jamie then served as the host of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, the show’s post-episode discussion show that also airs on Lifetime, but she has since been replaced by Keshia Knight Pulliam .

Jamie and Doug also appeared on Season 3 of Married at First Sight: Couples Cam on Lifetime.
