Jade Roper Tolbert Shares She’s Been ‘Navigating a Miscarriage’ and Says Goodbye to Son Beau
In our thoughts.
Bachelor Nation fan-favorite couple Jade Roper Tolbert and Tanner Tolbert first fell in love and got engaged on the beach during Season 2 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since then, they’ve welcomed three children together: daughter Emerson, 5, and sons Brooks, 3, and Reed, 2.
Over the past few months, Jade has been open about her desire to expand their family more and has been candid about her and Tanner’s conversations about it on social media.
Now, the Bachelor Nation star is taking to social media to share the heartbreaking news that she is navigating a miscarriage.
Alongside photos cradling her belly, Jade wrote, “I’ve been struggling with what to write here as I’ve been navigating a miscarriage. It felt like all my dreams were coming true to welcome another baby into our lives, to love and to complete our family. While our hearts are completely broken and we have been dealing with the deep and complex grief of the loss, we have been blessed to be touched by his soul for his short amount of time. I am forever changed.”
The mom continued on, saying, “I’m currently experiencing what is a called a missed miscarriage, so while his heart has stopped and he has stopped growing (for some time now), my body hasn’t released the pregnancy yet. I am hoping to do this naturally and am trusting in timing and in my body under the care of my provider.”
Jade concluded her emotional post by writing, “I’ve been carrying him with so much pride and cherish every moment still left with part of him, but it has also been equally as challenging and devastating. So while I hold my belly here, our sweet baby’s body is resting in my womb as his soul soars. We love you with every piece of our hearts, baby Beau.”
Many of Jade’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments of her post with love.
Catherine Giudici Lowe wrote, “Oh Jade, this is so heartbreaking. I hope you feel this community wrapping its arms around you.”
Sarah Herron said, “Love to you all. I’m proud of you Jade. You are honoring your baby boy and your body with such integrity and compassion. He is so so loved and will never be forgotten. His legacy will leave a mark on your family forever.”
Katie Thurston added, “Sending extra love to you and your family. You allowing us into your life in this moment is impactful for so many and I hope you are surrounded with nothing but love and support during this time.”
And Trista Sutter wrote, “Oh Jade. I am so incredibly sorry for this loss for you, Tanner, and the kids. You are such a symbol of grace and strength. Sending so much love.”
