According toFOX News Digital, which cites an unnamed source, Dr. John Forsyth’s fiancée is currently eight months pregnant with their first child. The couple worked together at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Mo.
Forsyth, 49, has eight other children from two previous relationships. He finalized his divorce from the mother of seven of his kids in May, the outlet reports.
Forsyth’s father, Robert Forsyth, confirmed the pregnancy to the outlet and said he learned he was going to be a grandfather once more after his son died.
“I have never cried and prayed so much as the last two weeks,” Robert said. “It’s just been wrenching.”
“They were planning their wedding,” Robert added of the pair’s pending nuptials.

According to Richard, Forsyth, who created his own cryptocurrency with Richard, was previously kidnapped but released in 2022.
“It was cold. He was zip-tied,” Richard previously told the outlet. “He was made to feel very unsafe and taken on a car ride with some people to a bridge and was threatened.”
Richard said he learned of the kidnapping after his brother died. The incident was not reported to police, but Richard claimed he later learned the incident was related to cryptocurrency.
“Many times, he mentioned he might be in danger,” Richard said per FOX News. “But it was always really vague.”
The investigation into Forsyth’s homicide remains ongoing.
A vigil will be held for Forsyth at Monett City Park in Monett, Mo., Sunday.
