‘16 and Pregnant’ star loses son at 16

The star of 16 and Pregnant, Whitney Purvis took to social media to announce the tragic death of her son, Weston Gosa Jr. at the age of 16.

“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 dont understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself,” she began in the caption.

"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,” she continued. “I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling.”

Purvis added, “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.”

She added another post on Facebook which included a photo of the mother and son smiling as she wrote, "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.”
