“We know the world loves Rocky as much as we do.”
Jen’s devastated fans shared their prayers in the comments.

Fans are currently waiting to find out whether the couple will ever return to TLC as their show The Little Couple has been on hiatus since 2019.
Although many fans are hoping that the reality series will make a comeback, the clues hint that it’s not likely to happen anytime soon.
However, Jen and Bill will appear on an upcoming episode of HGTV’s Farmhouse Fixer after they moved into a massive $2million Boston mansion earlier this year.
COMING BACK?
Dr Jen recently shared a video of her pre-teen son Will on TikTok as fans pleaded with her to return to her TLC series.
The reality star used the clip to poll fans on whether or not her son is ready for his own social media accounts.
Music played over the TikTok clip, which showed Will, 12, nodding his head affirmatively while Jen wagged her finger, gesturing “No.”
She shared the TikTok video on Instagram, adding a question box that read: “Is Will ready for TikTok?”
It’s unclear, at least at the moment, how fans responded.
As of late, fans have been commenting on how grown-up the kids look.
Will is on the cusp of his teenage years, with sister Zoey not far behind.
She recently celebrated her 11th birthday, with dad sharing a sweet photo in celebration.
Prior to that special occasion, Jen shared photos of her kids as they headed off to middle school.
