“It took some time for me to accept what had happened, only to be handed another chance so easily and so fast. But eventually, I found so much happiness. We were finally in a place of complete and utter gratitude,” she continued. “This past week, I miscarried again.”
Joy also added that she underwent a D&C following the miscarriage. She plans to go “back to squeezing my husband and my sweet angel River Rose, who are truly the reason I have survived this time and time.”
Joy and Viall welcomed their daughter River Rose in February 2024.
During a January 29 episode of their podcast “The Viall Files,” Joy and Viall shared that she was “actively miscarrying” as they recorded. “It has been the biggest heartbreak, I think, of my life,” Joy, 26, said. “I’ve never experienced something where I feel so empty inside.”
“I was spot bleeding for a while,” Joy recalled, noting that she was “freaked” out by the blood as it wasn’t something that occurred during her previous pregnancy.
“I think I knew from the jump, but I didn’t want to accept that. Then, it just got heavier and heavier,” she continued. “It was like I gave birth, you know, it was like I did, essentially. And I was screaming and crying, and Nick ran into the bathroom.”
“That was definitely the hardest night of my life,” Joy continued. “Just experiencing that is, like, something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. And unfortunately, I know a lot of women do experience it. I just feel for these people so much because I was so mad at my body for letting it go.”
