Bringing Up Bates star Erin Bates and her husband, Chad Paine, have endured both crushing heartbreak and miraculous joy on their parenting journey. The Bates family found fame on their Up TV reality series, which chronicled Erin's parents, Gil and Kelly Bates, raising 19 children. Erin and her husband, Chad, tied the knot at Clear Springs Baptist Church in Corryton, Tennessee, in November 2013. The newlyweds faced trauma from experiencing multiple miscarriages and additional complications while trying to start a family, before their first son, Charles (a.k.a. Carson), was born in May 2014.
