She woke up to a quiet house — too quiet. What she found moments later shattered her world.
Reality TV mom Whitney Purvis, once known from “16 and Pregnant,” has shared the most devastating news a parent can imagine. Her 16-year-old son, Weston, was found unresponsive at home in Georgia and could not be revived. “We tried everything… CPR, calling for help… but he was gone,” his stepmother, Amy Gosa, wrote in a tearful post.
Weston had long battled health challenges, including diabetes, but his passing was sudden and unexpected. “It was so unexpected. He was brilliant, funny, full of life,” Amy added.

Whitney herself broke down in her own emotional message: “He was only 16. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don’t understand… My baby is gone.” She later changed her profile photo to one of them smiling together — a moment now frozen in time.
Fans first met Whitney as a young teen mom on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant.” Over the years, she faced struggles and setbacks — but always shared her deep love for her children. Now, that love carries a painful echo.
💭 “He was my heart,” Whitney wrote. “I’ll love you forever, my angel.”
