My 600-lb Life’s Bettie Jo is better than ever as she expects baby number 2
Who remembers Bettie Jo from My 600-lb Life season 3? Her journey was interesting and a lot more difficult than most as not only did she have to stick to a strict diet and exercise, she was also told by Dr Now to see a therapist to address relationship issues with her boyfriend Josh Elmore.
The star started the episode at 654lb and ended it at 498lb, a whopping loss of 156lb. Fans are now dying to know not only whether Bettie managed to continue her weight loss journey but also what happened with Josh?
Reality Titbit did some digging and has all the juicy details on what’s going on in the reality TV star’s life.

Bettie has one child and is expecting her second this year
It’s safe to say Bettie and Josh’s relationship is going strong as, shortly after her episode was released, Bettie took to Twitter and Instagram to announce to fans she had given birth to a boy named Preston.
Her pregnancy wasn’t the easiest, People reports. The star revealed in an episode of My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now? that she suffered a major health complication during her pregnancy. Bettie explained:
After doing a CT scan, they noticed a large mass on my spine. Because I’m pregnant, the bigger the baby gets, the more he presses on the bone mass on my spine.

Happy birthday, babe. Sorry I’m a day late but my mind’s mixed up! Hope you enjoyed your dinner. Now for a game of phase ten and a family movie night. I love you with all my heart and am thankful to have spent the last 16 years with you!
