How Did TLC’s ‘Jay & Pamela’ Stars Meet? What We Know About Their Relationship

TLC fans will get to know a brand-new couple when Jay & Pamela premieres on Tuesday, March 4. Jay Manuel and Pamela Chavez both have the same rare genetic disorder, Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 3 (OI), which is more commonly known as brittle bone disorder.

Although they weren’t expected to live past their early childhood years, Manuel and Chavez surpassed their doctors’ expectations. He’s now 28 and she’s 30. However, they have to be very careful due to their medical condition, which has caused them to fracture more than 400 bones combined over the years.
