Tragedy from “16 and Pregnant”! Famous Star Loses 16-Year-Old Son, Tears on Social Media!

Whitney Purvis, known for her appearance on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant,” is grieving the loss of her 16-year-old son, Weston. The former reality star shared a heartfelt tribute on social media on Monday, announcing that Weston had passed away earlier that day.

In a Facebook post, the 33-year-old Purvis described her profound grief, writing, “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. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true.”

Purvis, who appeared in the first season of the MTV show in 2009, further expressed her disbelief and pain, stating, “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.”

She concluded her emotional post with, “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.”

While Purvis did not reveal the specific cause of her son’s death, Weston’s stepmother, Amy Gosa, disclosed in a social media post that he had been battling “several health issues,” including diabetes. Gosa shared that the family attempted CPR and called paramedics after finding Weston unresponsive at 7 a.m. He was then taken to a hospital in Gordon County, Georgia, where he was pronounced dead.

“We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected,” Gosa wrote. “Losing a child is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I hope I never experience it again.” She described Weston as “the most amazing son I could have asked for,” noting his intelligence, humor, and potential. Gosa also asked for thoughts and prayers for their family and Whitney during this difficult time, and mentioned that an autopsy would be performed.

Purvis later shared a photo of herself with Weston on Facebook, reiterating her love and sorrow: “Rest in Peace, my baby Weston. I love you forever, precious. I’ll never understand why life has to be so cruel. You’ll always be my baby.”

Whitney Purvis welcomed Weston with her then-boyfriend, Weston Lewis Gosa Sr., during her appearance on “16 and Pregnant.” They later had a second son, River, in 2014, but the couple split shortly after. Purvis reportedly lost custody of both her children to their father in 2024 following an arrest for failing to make child support payments. Weston Sr. also has a history of legal issues.
