Dr. Petit’s life was forever changed after his family was killed in a brutal invasion of his Connecticut home six years ago. This survivor was eventually able to find some peace and remarried one year ago. He and his wife are now expecting a child!
Dr. William Petit will be welcoming a bundle of joy into his life — and he certainly deserves this wonderful news. The victim of an infamous deadly Connecticut home invasion and arson that killed his first wife and two daughters in 2007, William found love again with Christine Paluf. The pair married in August 2012 and are now reveal that they are expecting their first child together! Congratulations!
William Petit: Second Wife Welcoming Baby
William got a second chance at love when he started dating Christine Paluf in 2011 — and now he is getting a little bit more joy in his life. The pair told WSFB on August 1 that the baby is due on December 3, 2013.
In 2007, Dr. Petit’s first wife and family was killed in a horrible home invasion. His wife was raped and strangled to death by the intruders while the couple’s two daughters — aged 17 and 11 — were tied down to their beds and left to die after the house was doused in gasoline and set on fire.
William was also brutally beaten, and only narrowly escaped to a neighbor's house.
William Petit Is Healing From Traumatic Home Invasion
New wife Christine has been very supportive of William’s healing process — she even worked with his family’s foundation. After so tragically losing his first wife and young daughters, it must be extremely difficult to move on and bring another baby into the family.
When William and Christine announced their wedding plans in 2012, Reverend Richard Hawke, William's former father-in-law, comforted them by explaining that his daughter would have wanted William to have someone like Christine in his life. He also said that he hoped the couple would have children together.
We are so happy that the couple will be welcoming a child into their life.
In the mean time, Christine is getting some baby practice in by babysitting her 2-month-old niece Keegan.
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Are you surprised or excited that William & Christine are welcoming a baby?
