Is Dr. Now from ‘My 600-lb Life’ married? Here’s what we know about whether or not Younan Nowzaradan has or has had a wife in the past.
The long-running reality series My 600-lb Life on TLC has had a revolving door of new personalities throughout its 11-season run. The show follows the daily lives of different morbidly obese individuals, each of whom begins their time on the series weighing at least 600 pounds or more. Each episode is dedicated to one person or group as they ultimately decide to lose weight and take several steps toward that goal, whether it involves exercise, controlled eating habits, or supplemental surgery.
But even within the show’s episodic arcs between individuals, one constant within My 600-lb Life involves the consultation of one Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, commonly known among his patients as “Dr. Now.” Dr. Now is a medical professional who specializes in vascular and bariatric surgery. The stars of almost every episode visit the doctor, based in Houston, Texas, in order to receive medical advice from him.
As for his personal life, has he ever been married? Here’s what we know so far.
