The 38-year-old fought back tears as he addressed his wife's recent health complications following the birth of their seventh baby, Henry Blythe Paine, in August. "That last three weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions," Chad said in a video posted on YouTube Sept. 22, "and an experience that we probably could have never dreamed or thought up." Chad-who married the Bringing Up Bates star in 2013-went on to thank viewers for their support amid her ongoing struggles. "We have felt those prayers, and I know that's what's helped us get through this," he continued. "It's been a valley experience."
