"Love Is Blind" stars Cameron and Lauren Hamilton have revealed they are expecting their first baby together after a four-year struggle to conceive—while opening up about the moment they found out their happy news while in the bathroom of their Atlanta home.
The expectant parents, who met and married in 2018 on the first season of the Netflix hit, remain one of the only "Love Is Blind" couples to have made their relationship last after the cameras stopped rolling.
However, their relationship has seen its fair share of hardships, they revealed in a new interview with People, in which they spoke out about the fertility struggles they've grappled with over the last four years.
Cameron, 34, and Lauren, 37, admitted they "fell to their knees" when they discovered that they were expecting after Lauren underwent in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
Cameron gushed, "We were counting down the day till we could test because we did IVF. We knew, okay, this is the day that we're going to do the test. Of course, we're going in for a blood test later that day, but we couldn't wait any longer.
"We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look at the Clearblue test and it was face down. We flipped it over. We saw the word pregnant, and that was just a huge moment to actually see the word pregnant on the test. It was a—"
His wife, who is in her second trimester, finished his sentence, revealing that seeing the word "pregnant" was a huge "relief" after the many ups and downs of the past four years.
"Because, well, we've taken a few pregnancy tests and when you use the ones with the lines, it could be anxiety driven because it's like, 'Is that what I think?' So seeing the word 'pregnant,' it was amazing. We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried," she revealed.
"It's been a long time coming. We've literally been trying to get pregnant for four years."
Lauren candidly opened up about the "indescribable" feeling, noting that the positive test was a "light" at the end of the tunnel after her father passed away.
She explained, "I lost my father [at] Christmas of last year, and so we took this test the end of January, beginning of February, so this was literally light in the darkness. This was like, wow. The spark that my whole family needed. We've been trying for a long time."
"It was a little bittersweet because my dad's not here physically to be with us, but we know that he's watching over us. So it was just like, 'Wow, I can't believe this.' We just felt so blessed, so grateful and happy, excited. Then it hit like, 'We're going to be parents. Oh my God.'"
Lauren gushed about her husband's character and revealed that he has been extremely supportive through their IVF journey, adding that he has been "patient" and "awesome."
The mom-to-be admitted that her first trimester was "rough;" however, she is now adapting to her second trimester, which sees her constantly craving "cheese."
"One thing I that I do crave is cheese. I want cheese puffs, I want macaroni and cheese. I want just regular shredded cheese in my mouth. Cheese and fruit have been my thing," she revealed.
The couple also confessed that they have turned to some of their "Love Is Blind" castmates for advice, specifically Amber and Matt Barnett, who recently welcomed their first baby.
"Amber is full of advice. She's giving me the real, real lowdown advice," Lauren revealed.
Cameron and Lauren will be raising their child in their Atlanta home, which they purchased in 2021 for $780,000.
The two-story property is perfect for a growing family as it comes complete with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, all situated on a 1.09-acre lot.
The home's facade is adorned in sage green paneling and brick, while the structure is surrounded in lush greenery.
The 5,400-square-foot abode boasts an expansive interior, two cozy fireplaces, 9-foot-high ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a three-car garage.
Lauren and Cameron also hold the keys to a one-bedroom, one-bath condo in Georgia.
