DR. JEN ARNOLD and her husband, BILL KLEIN – stars of the TLC reality show “The Little Couple” – have dark secrets of booze and suicide that will leave their fans shocked!
The stunning disclosures are made in their new book, “Life is Short (No Pun Intended),” which hits bookshelves May 26.
The National ENQUIRER exclusively obtained a copy of the tell-all book before publication, and can reveal the couple talk candidly about the tragedy-laden paths they persevered in order to find domestic bliss!
“I was called ‘m*dget,’ I was teased, I was ignored, I was threatened, I was chased, I was beaten up,” 40-year-old Bill, who is 4 feet tall, revealed of his time at New York University.
Desperate, Bill turned to alcohol, according to the book, drowning his sorrows in New York’s bars.
“I would always arrive home alone and often fairly intoxicated,” he wrote.
Such depression nearly cost Bill everything when he climbed out his dorm window and pondered a plunge to his death!
“I stood up and leaned against the wall next to the window,” he revealed. “I looked down to the place where I might die.”
But in that moment, Bill thought of his family.
Afterward, he found his first girlfriend and things got better.
As for 41-year-old Jen, who is 3-foot-2, she remarkably recounts how she endured 22 surgeries.
Before each one she would lie on the operating table and think, “I am going to die,” before going under anesthesia, she wrote.
Also in the book, Jen and Bill detail the fairy-tale ending to their struggles.
They began dating in 2006 after meeting online, and said “I do” two years later.
The pair welcomed both a son, Will, and daughter, Zoey, in 2013.
