“There are some things in life that change you forever. For us, this is one of those things,” continued their caption. “One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, a silent heartbreak so many families know, and one we unfortunately had to experience. As we share this, know that there’s a rainbow not far behind.”
Love and Loss
Previously, Hough and Erbert were open about their previous pregnancy loss. Last October, they shared a moving video telling their journey.
