How did Bill Klein and Jennifer Arnold meet?
Dr Jen Arnold and William 'Bill' Klein first crossed paths when they were only 10 years old while getting treated at the same hospital. Klein recalled the encounter in a 2015 interview with Glamour, but Jen could not remember because she was under heavy medication.
She was at the end of the hallway, and I was in room like 302... I used to do laps around the hallways, and I was happy as could be. I was cut out of my cast, I was sitting up, listening to my Walkman, my parents were 200 miles away, so I couldn't get in trouble by them... so I cruised into her room.
The pair started talking formally as grown-ups after reconnecting on a dating site for little people. They communicated on the phone for over a month before Bill flew from New York to Pittsburgh in March 2006 to meet Jen, who was completing her medical residency at the time. Their first date was at Starbucks.

Bill and Jen Arnold's marriage
Jen and Bill got engaged in November 2006 and had a long-distance relationship for about three years before they tied the knot on April 12, 2008. The doctor told Tampa Bay Times in December 2019 that she wanted a beach wedding, which was held at her hometown in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The couple's journey to the altar was documented on The Little Couple season 1 in 2009. With their lives constantly in front of the camera, Jen told HuffPost in 2011 that they celebrate special occasions twice.
We try to remind each other that dinners out with the cameras don't really count and that we still need to have a separate celebratory dinner for us, for birthdays and anniversaries. Even though we celebrate on camera, we do something separate as well.

The Little Couple have two kids
Bill Klein and Jennifer openly talked about their struggle with fertility in The Little Couple series. They chose to become parents through adoption after unsuccessfully trying surrogacy. In March 2013, the reality TV stars adopted their son William 'Will' Ri-Jin (born in February 2010) from Hohhot, China.
They later got their daughter Zoey Nidhi (born in September 2011) from Mumbai, India, in October 2013. While explaining why they chose international adoption, Dr Jen told Kim Carrigan in December 2025:
We specifically wanted to adopt another little person. There are many kids internationally that are abandoned because of the situation that their parents are in and because of their disability... We knew that's where we could have an impact, and we wanted to bring home a child.

Will The Little Couple return to television?
The Little Couple debuted on TLC in 2009 and went off-air in 2019 after 14 seasons. The reality series stopped production due to a long-standing legal battle between the production company, LMNO Cable Group, and the network, Discovery Communications.
LMNO accused Discovery of trying to steal the show and squeeze them out of their contract, while Discovery alleged that LMNO had engaged in fraudulent accounting practices. They settled in early 2018, according to Variety.
Dr Jen and Bill also sued LMNO in June 2017 for underreporting foreign licensing revenues. Despite The Little Couple being off-air, Discovery renewed the show's trademark on March 14, 2022, according to The Sun. Bill Klein asked his Instagram followers in a September 2024 post if they wanted the family back on television, but no official statement has been issued.
