Alexa PenaVega & Carlos PenaVega Mourn the Stillborn Daughter
Alexa and Carlos PenaVega are opening up about their heartbreaking pregnancy loss.
The Spy Kids movie actress and the Big Time Rush star shared a joint statement on their Instagrams on April 15. “There are never the right words to say when it comes to loss. After a beautiful and peaceful delivery, our daughter ‘Indy’ was born at rest,” they wrote. “It has been a painful journey. But in pain we have found peace.”
“This little girl has already changed our lives in so many ways,” they continued. “She was absolutely beautiful. And looked just like daddy. Dark hair and all. Grief has come to us in waves. Moments of feeling absolutely gutted…then moments of feeling blessed by just getting a moment with her.”
“We can’t understand why things like this happen and we may never get those answers. Indy Rex PenaVega, you completely changed our world. You moved us to a new place. You gave us the community we have been longing for. We love you can’t wait to see how many other lives you change.”
Friends, fans and fellow costars rallied together in the comments to give the couple love and support during their time of loss. “So so sorry Alexa and Carlos, can’t begin to imagine what this loss feels like. You are held, loved, and protected and you know that. Praying your pain away,” wrote actress Daniella Monet. “Love you so so much,” added Alexa’s Spy Kids costar Daryl Sabara.
Alexa and Carlos tied the knot in 2014 and have shared their parenting journey online since the very beginning. Parents to six-year-old Ocean, four-year-old Kingston and two-year-old Rio, the two recently moved into a fixer-upper in Tennesee after spending five weeks at sea sailing a boat with their children in a series called La Vida Pena Vega.
“Life on the boat has been a lot of things… but boring is NOT one of them,” they wrote in a recent post. You can check out the latest episode of #lavidapenavega on YouTube.com.
