"Our Baby Hehner was just too beautiful for earth," Otis said on Instagram. "I love him so much — ALWAYS will — and can't wait to meet him in heaven one day. Please pray for us."
The 30-year-old also expressed her sorrow with a quote, writing: "An Angel opened up the book of life and wrote down my baby's birth. Then she whispered as she closed the book, 'He's too beautiful for earth.'"
Just eight hours before the announcement, Otis asked fans to pray for her family on Twitter.
The Married At First Sight: The First Year couple revealed they were expecting their first child just last week.
"We can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives," Otis told People magazine at the time. "Being a mom has been my dream."
"We have finished his pre-baby bucket list," she said of all the things her husband wanted to do before welcoming a child. "I don't want to push my husband. I want my husband to be just as equally excited as I am when we find out the news. I was an accident baby and it didn't feel good knowing that growing up."
