the little couple s11e05 torrent download The Untold Truth Of The Little Couple. From the moment The Little Couple premiered on TLC in 2009, the show's stars Bill Klein and Jen Arnold have garnered millions of fans' hearts with their picture-perfect marriage and sweet family. As the series' official description explains, Klein and Arnold "are just like your average couple — except for the fact that they're both under 4 feet tall! He stands at 4 feet and has a rare variation of a skeletal dysplasia called Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (or SED) and has had more than 20 surgeries. She stands at just 3 foot 2 has a similar, and also rare type of dwarfism called Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Type Strudwick, has had more than 30 surgeries — and yet this too is not what makes this couple unique." The Little Couple documents all of their hardships and successes, as well as the adventures of their two adorable children, Will and Zoey, and is an undeniable smash hit. But there's more to this show than meets the eye. It doesn't feature the family's hardest, most vulnerable moments. Any fan of The Little Couple would likely tell you that Klein and Arnold seem to have the perfect marriage and the perfect family. But as the couple's second memoir, Think Big , reveals, their hardest, most vulnerable moments aren't included in the show. Like the emotional day in October 2013 when Klein returned home from India with the couple's newly adopted daughter, Zoey. Writing about the heart-breaking moment in Think Big , Klein revealed, "Our two-year-old daughter wailed next to the front door. I had just introduced Zoey to her new home for the first time, but she didn't want anything to do with it, and she didn't want to be near her new daddy." While the couple was in New Delhi, India to adopt Zoey, Arnold was rushed back to the U.S. with a medical emergency. "Zoey had bonded with Jen, but not with me, and without her new mommy, she was inconsolable," wrote Klein. "Trying to soothe Zoey only made things worse. Her cries echoed throughout the house. Zoey obviously wanted and needed her mother. She wasn't the only one missing Jen." All the birthday, anniversary, and milestone celebrations are staged. Although the family regularly celebrates special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries on camera, all that fanfare isn't actually real. The truth is, it's staged especially for the show. Maybe we should clarify a bit. Yes, the occasions themselves are legit, but as Arnold explained to Huffington Post in 2011, the family chooses to host the real celebrations when cameras aren't rolling. "We try to remind each other that dinners out with the cameras don't really count and that we still need to have a separate celebratory dinner for us, for birthdays and anniversaries," she said. "Even though we celebrate on camera, we do something separate as well." It makes sense that a family so much in the public eye would want to keep some occasions and special events private, so we can't say we blame them. Plus, it means double the celebrating (and we're assuming that also means double the cake). There's an important reason why the kids aren't constantly on camera. Despite both William and Zoey being a major (and super cute) part of the show's ongoing success, they're purposely not featured on camera too much, even though Arnold admitted in 2015 that the kids "are pretty whatever about it. In fact, if a camera gets in the way of what they're trying to do, they'll go, 'Move! Move, move, you're in my way.'" That being said, Klein went on to tell Glamour in that same interview that "the large majority of what we do is off-camera because we want them to grow up in a normal, comfortable environment and experience what they want to experience without it being something that they have to do in front of an audience." This approach sure seems to be working, as Arnold added that they "haven't heard from their teachers that they even talk about it [at school], partially because I don't think they're self-aware." It has turned the couple's home into a target for fans. Much of the action on The Little Couple occurs at their home, so it is regularly featured on the show. With all that exposure comes recognition — a lot of it. As Klein revealed, it has actually resulted in many fans dropping by their front steps uninvited. "We've had people come to the door or tear pages out of books and write full-length notes and stick them in our mailbox," he told Glamour . "I actually almost gave one lady a heart attack because I went to get the mail, and she was on my doorstep. I opened up the door while she was right there writing her note, and she fell over and all that stuff. We've had people come on Christmas Eve and all sorts of occasions." As flattering as the gestures of love may be, they do come with a slight dose of apprehension. "Everyone has been so nice, but when someone knocks on your door, you do wonder if they are well intended or not and maybe get a little nervous," added Arnold. "So we do of course prefer when they send us a letter, since when we are at home that is obviously our private time. I do get it though because people watch us and feel like they know us!" The show has gotten Arnold and Klein criticized. The Little Couple has garnered countless fans over the years, averaging a whopping 2.1 million viewers per episode back in 2013. Despite its popularity, the show's stars have endured their fair share of criticism — especially regarding their parenting. When Arnold and Klein first announced they were adopting not one, but two kids — 3-year-old William from China and 19-month-old Zoey from India — they received a deluge of "comments on how crazy it is to be adopting two kids at once." The couple explained to The Wrap that it wasn't planned, but they feel it was meant to be. When Klein and Arnold started the 11 month-long adoption process for William in 2012, they had no idea that they would also receive a call from Little People of America about adopting Zoey — they had actually put their names on the LPA waiting list four years earlier. "Friends of ours. have two, three, some even four kids. they haven't killed each other yet," Klein joked while speaking with The Wrap . Arnold added, "[It's] like getting pregnant with twins, it's not something we planned on. But hopefully, it's a blessing that we'll figure out a way to handle." Bill Klein battled depression and suicidal thoughts in college. Despite everything going on in their lives, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, Arnold and Klein are known for sharing a positive message and showcasing an uplifting outlook on life on their show. It's for that reason no one was really expecting Klein to step forward and admit to having battled with depression and suicidal thoughts during a difficult time when he was younger. It was during a 2015 HuffPost Live interview (via Us Weekly ) that Klein opened up about his past struggles with mental health, saying that after years of bullying, he "reached the deepest [pit] of depression and that brought me to the brink" while he was in college. He went on to reassure fans that "life has gotten better and better every single year," but admitted that the battle never truly ends, revealing that he's "had bumps along the road every year to deal with." Jen Arnold secretly went through a heart-breaking miscarriage. Soon after Arnold and Klein adopted their son Will from China and while they were working everything out to finalize the adoption of their daughter Zoey from India, the couple got some surprising news. "'I'm pregnant,' [Jen said in] complete and utter disbelief," Klein recalled in the couple's 2016 book, Think Big: Overcoming Obstacles With Optimism . "After going through two years of fertility treatments and surrogacy followed by miscarriages, this was unexpected, to say the least!" Unfortunately, they later learned the heart-breaking news that the pregnancy was not viable. Even so, Klein couldn't help but sum up his life with Arnold so far as an "incredible and crazy and extraordinary road full of wonderful surprises." One that their two adoptive children make all the more incredible. "I will see Jen's beautiful smile, and Will's never-ending joy, and Zoey enthusiastically hopping and skipping along, and just think, 'When did I win the Powerball of life?'" Klein concluded. The show has gotten some negative feedback from viewers with disabilities. In a blog post titled Are Reality TV Shows Starring People With Medical Conditions Exploitative? , August Pritchett, a student at Armstrong State University, argued that "reality shows on modern television that feature such people are not much different than the circus freak shows from a hundred years ago." Pritchett, who herself has a disability, pointed out that many TLC shows, such as Little Women of LA , "tend to focus on the fact that these people are different from those who are 'normal' in order to convince viewers to watch them." Honing in on The Little Couple, she applauded them for "educating viewers about dwarfism," but warned that even shows with good intentions can have a negative impact.
