The pair broke up and then rekindled their romance, welcoming a second son, River, in 2014.
After welcoming River, Purvis and Weston. Sr broke up again.
The 16 and Pregnant star announced the death of her teen son Weston in a Facebook post.
Purvis penned: “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.”
Describing the horrific ordeal, she added: “I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling.”
Purvis continued: “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.”
In a second Facebook post, the reality TV star included a photo of the mom and son smiling.
The caption read: “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.”
Family members were unable to wake up Weston on Monday, June 2. An ambulance was called, and the teen was later pronounced dead.
His heartbroken family have ordered an autopsy to be completed.
Weston’s stepmom, Amy Gosa, took to Facebook and described the circumstances of the 16-year-old’s death.
“We do not know the cause,” she wrote. “They will do an autopsy soon, but all we know is we got up this morning around 7 a.m. and tried to wake him up; he was not breathing, we attempted CPR, and called an ambulance. The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County, where he was pronounced dead. He had several health issues, as well as diabetes.”
Gosa added: “He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny, and had so much potential in life. It doesn’t feel real. Please keep our family and Whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant, amazing life that was our son.”
