Jamie Otis

Jamie Otis was just 19 years old and a freshman in college when she begins raising her three younger siblings. She grew up with an absent father, an abusive step father and a mom who killed the pain with drugs. Before Jamie was able to legally drink a glass of wine, she is granted custody of her little sisters; Amylynn first then Leah. Balancing a part-time waitressing job, full-time nursing school on top of being the legal guardian of her siblings left no time for Jamie to deal with issues of trust, abandonment and neglect. However, Jamie healed while helping others. She became a certified foster parent and began caring for children who were in similar circumstances.

Known best for her awkward attempts at finding love, Jamie appeared on season 16 of The Bachelor and season 3 of The Bachelor Pad. Soon after, she allows four professionals to find her ‘perfect’ match. She says ‘I do’ to a perfect stranger on Married At First Sight. Almost instantaneously the baggage from Jamie’s past came out full force as she began navigating life as a new wife. Fast forward through many ups and downs to two years later: Jamie Otis is still happily married to her ‘stranger’ husband, Douglas Hehner.

Jamie Otis is a registered nurse, TV host (Married At First Sight: Unfiltered), jewelry designer (Jamie Otis Jewelry) and author (Wifey 101: Everything I Got Wrong After Finding Mr. Right). She’s appeared on Dr. Drew, Dr. Oz, The View, Good Morning America, Kathy Lee and Hoda, and Entertainment Tonight.
