"Married at First Sight" star Jamie Otis talked about the marital challenges she and husband Doug Hehner are facing. On Tuesday, she took to Instagram to reveal the couple is going through a rough patch.

However, they reassured their fans that they’re not giving up on each other.

“We’re not giving up on each other—not now, not ever,” she captioned a photo of her and her husband tearing up while hugging each other in their car.

“TBH, sitting in the car in a random parking lot crying-like the hard ugly cry with snotty noses & hiccups-was not at all what I intended on sharing today… but here we are,” she added.

Otis said they took the photo after a heated phone conversation with their therapist. Detailing the conversation, she shared, “It started w anger, yelling, blaming, but ended w us holding each other & trying to figure out our next steps TOGETHER.”

The reality show star also told fans she had intended to post something positive on her Instagram, but she felt that would not be a true representation of what’s going on in her life.

“I’m not gonna slap a smile on my face and pop a pretty picture if that’s not my true reality… that feels so fake and wrong,” she wrote. “I’m a multifaceted, ever-changing person who is a complete mess at times… and lately, I feel like I’ve been a mess ALL of the time.”

Despite the challenges she and Hehner are going through, Otis emphasized she’s a fighter and would always choose to stick with her husband no matter what.

“But right now, I’m fighting for my marriage. For my children. For ME. When I get to the other side of this battle I will be back here fighting for YOU and for all of US WOMEN again. But any good fighter knows you gotta focus on one battle at a time,” she explained.

Otis and Hehner tied the knot on the first season of “Married at First Sight” in March 2014. The ups and downs of their marriage have been featured on the Lifetime reality show and its spinoffs, as well as their YouTube series, “Married Life.”
