THE lives of Little Couple star Dr. Jen Arnold, her husband Bill Klein, and their kids have changed drastically amid their rise to fame.

The TLC show, which was beloved by viewers, was canceled in September 2019.

In the wake of the cancelation of The Little Couple, Dr. Jen, 49, and her husband Bill, 48, are finding other ways to keep their fans up to speed on their ever-evolving lives.

Their children, Will, 12, and Zooey, 11, have also been sharing small glimpses into their daily happenings on social media now that they're older.

Unfortunately, their increased popularity comes at a cost.

Recently, the former TLC stars' eldest child sparked controversy with his TikTok activity.

After he uploaded it, leading to outrage from fans, Dr. Jen shared a video of her own addressing the controversy.

She pleaded with fans to forgive her son for his mistake.

The reality TV personality said in the clip: "I had one of those difficult digital media and kid weeks.

"It's hard for all of us parents right now. We're in this era with social media and all the trends. It's hard for us to keep up. It's hard for us to guide our kids. And for our kids to navigate this world."

She went on: "I don't know if any of you, like me, struggle with letting our kids have social media.

"Zoey doesn't have it. She's not ready."

Dr. Jen mentioned her son's social media restriction in the caption of her post, writing: "We discussed with him, agreed to make better decisions because his social media is viewed more, and that means he has greater responsibility if he would like to use it."

She concluded: "I hope you all will give Will some grace on this as he is like so many kids out there, new to social media and still learning."

This isn't the first time Dr. Jen and her family have had to navigate something major in the public eye.

JEN'S HEALTH CRISIS

In February 2022, Dr. Jen faced a major setback with her health.

The mother of two underwent major surgery with her husband by her side.

Bill revealed that Dr. Jen had to have "hip revision surgery" shortly after the family packed up and moved from Florida to Massachusetts.

He posted a selfie of him and Jen before the procedure on Instagram, praising his wife as "brave."

The photo showed them in a hospital room with the physician wearing a gown and surgical mask.

Bill included a positive message in the caption, writing: "When a team has your back in the OR and a million or two friends thinking good thoughts... my @drjenarnoldmd will do great today."

BILL'S HOSPITALIZATION

Bill faced his own medical setbacks in October 2021.

Jen revealed at the time that her husband suffered a "traumatic injury" that landed him in the hospital.

She posted a pic on social media at the time of Bill giving a thumbs up from his hospital bed as he prepared to go into surgery several months after the actual injury.

The mom of two captioned the post: "You've got this @reallybillklein, we've got this. Pre op testing thumbs up. Thank you @hspecialsurgery for always taking good care of us."

She added: "Can't wait to get Bill's arm back to better!"

Bill had to have an operation on his arm to fix the damage caused when he broke his elbow running from a swarm of wasps.

Bill shared the details of the accident, revealing that he could not get the "elective" surgery he needed due to Covid protocols.

He wrote: "Fun fact, I broke my right elbow when I was 7 after speeding down a hill on my bike, got so winded I blacked out and awoke bloody and broken.

"This time around, nothing nearly as exciting... during an attempt to elude a small swarm of wasps, my head forgot that my legs have never 'run' (to or away from anything, before, ever), even when chased...and that's how you plant an elbow on pavers! That was 4 weeks ago since it wasn't getting better I went back for another x-ray."

MORE MEDICAL TURMOIL

Dr. Jen sparked concern from fans once more in August 2023 when she revealed more medical issues for Bill.

She posted a brief clip of a train speeding by on the tracks.

The TLC star revealed to fans that she would be traveling from Boston to New York City.

She shared more details of the trip in her caption, writing: "Unfortunately, an urgent trip to New York City for Bill's spine today.

"Here we go."

She closed the post with: "LPP: Little Person Problems."

Dr. Jen also shared a GIF of a cartoon woman, seemingly modeled after herself, shaking her head.
