Vanessa Grimaldi Mourns Second Pregnancy Loss: “I’m Still Trying to Breathe Through the Pain”

Sending love.

Bachelor Nation fans first met Vanessa Grimaldi on Season 21 of “The Bachelor.” Since her time on the show, Vanessa found love off-screen and married her husband, Josh Wolfe.

The two tied the knot on August 20, 2021, and welcomed their first child, Winston, together in September 2022.

Last year, Vanessa shared the tragic news that she experienced pregnancy loss after getting asked about when she’s going to have another baby.

Now, the Bachelor Nation star has taken to Instagram to reveal that she has heartbreakingly experienced her second pregnancy loss. 

In a new post, she shared, “This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal. Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again. It adds another layer to the grief, one that’s heavier, more complicated, and harder to put into words.” 

Vanessa continued, opening up more about her grief and how she’s balancing her heartache with gratitude for her son Winston. 

“I’m so incredibly grateful for [Winston],” she shared. “My healthy, joyful little boy. And at the same time, my heart aches for the baby I never got to meet. I keep thinking about Winston as a newborn. All the firsts, the sleepy snuggles, the tiny milestones. I imagined getting to live through those moments again. But instead, I’m left with the silence of what could have been. Again.” 

Vanessa then shared in her caption how connecting with other women who have gone through a similar experience has been helping her heal. 

She said, “❤️‍🩹Gentle reminder: Miscarriage is more common than many people realize. About 1 in 4 known pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and many more happen before a pregnancy is even confirmed. It doesn’t make the pain any easier, but knowing this grief is shared by so many can be a quiet kind of comfort. You are part of a larger community of women who have loved deeply, lost painfully, and are finding ways to heal. Sending you love 💕”
