Family History
Jenny and Bryan met via email communication while Bryan was stationed in Kuwait with the Air Force. They were married a year later on January 2, 2004. Jenny is a physician assistant and Bryan is now a pharmaceutical salesman. They also own a real estate investment company. The sextuplets were the result of artificial insemination after Jenny suffered two miscarriages.
The babies were delivered at thirty weeks, four days at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The Masche babies were the second set of sextuplets to be born at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center. The three boys and three girls weighed between 2 lbs., 1 oz. and 3 lbs. and were delivered by Cesarean section within about six minutes beginning at 8:21 a.m.
After delivery, Jenny suffered heart failure, and was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit, where she nearly died due to complications from the extreme pregnancy. Jenny recovered enough after five days to be able to visit her sextuplets in the NICU. The babies spent about five weeks in the hospital after birth. Prior to Raising Sextuplets, the Masches have appeared on television a few times: Bryan asked Jenny to marry him on national television at an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game in 2003, the couple appeared on the Today show during the pregnancy and afterward, and Jenny competed on Deal or No Deal.
The family used to reside in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. They now reside in Destin, Florida.
On September 11, 2010, Bryan Masche was arrested at his father-in-law's home in Camp Verde, Arizona for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and threatening per domestic violence. On September 17, 2010, Jenny Masche filed for legal separation from husband Bryan in Yavapai County, Arizona. The couple were soon divorced.
