16 and Pregnant star Whitney Purvis has shared the devastating news her son Weston Gosa Jr has died aged 16. The reality TV star, who documented her pregnancy on the hit MTV show, said her "worst nightmare has come true."

She heartbreakingly announced the death of her beloved son in a post on social media. Whitney welcomed Weston with on-off partner Weston Sr. in 2009 on the first season of the MTV programme.

Alongside photos of herself and Weston, Whitney shared: “This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old.

"Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don't understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself."

She added: "He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I'm in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don't want it to be real.

"I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling. I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much.

"You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 - June 2, 2025.”
