“As a lot of you know it’s been a long road for @alexanderludwig and myself,” she continued. “We suffered 3 losses before this one but each one of those losses taught us about ourselves and each other.”
“To everyone out there who has suffered miscarriages before, there is light on the other side of your journey. You are not alone,” Lauren added.

Alexander and Lauren first went Instagram official with their relationship in July 2020. In November of the same year, theHeelsstar revealed he hadpopped the questionto Lauren, and the couple eloped a few months later at The Lodge at Blue Sky’s private mountain retreat, just outside of Salt Lake City.
Lauren revealed she suffered from a third pregnancy loss in a candid Instagram post shared last May.
“I decided I wanted to share because I don’t think it’s a shameful thing to talk about. I want to help others realize how common miscarriages are and how they aren’t something to be embarrassed about,” she wrote in part at the time.
“Going through this has made me realize, I definitely am not alone. It’s so common and yet, I feel it’s not talked about nearly enough,” Lauren added. “If more of us talked about these things, maybe we would feel less alone and at fault. Information is power and I want to start sharing more of it.”
