TV host-actress Alex Gonzaga revealed that she and husband, Lipa City Councilor Mikee Morada suffered their second miscarriage in October.
Alex first had a miscarriage back in October 2021. She and Morada have been married for three years after tying the knot in November 2020.
In a video interview uploaded on her sister, Toni Gonzaga-Soriano's YouTube account on Sunday night, she shared that they had been trying to have a child through the in-vitro fertilization (IVF), an idea she got from former US First Lady Michelle Obama.
However, the procedure failed.
"First punta namin, ano e, walang nakikita e. Tapos may nakitang mass, sa fallopian tube. Tapos nakikita ko hindi na maganda 'yung mga nangyayari," Alex recounted, adding that she heard doctors mentioning medical jargons that she could not understand.
"So alam ko na may something wrong doon sa second pregnancy. Sabi nila, we have to wait. Ganon din nangyari sa amin sa first pregnancy namin. We have to wait another week to see baka naman it's slow," she added.
The 35-year-old content creator also bared that she felt "a lot of pressure" from the people asking about her pregnancy, as well as the bashing she received after she was caught on video smearing cake icing on a waiter's forehead earlier this year.
Following the sad news, Alex said she apologized to her husband and thanked him for the unwavering support he gave her during the process of their IVF.
"Si Mikee pwede nang bigyan ng...kasi napakabait niyan. Sabi niya, 'Okay ako.' Sabi ko, 'Mikee, I'm sorry. Hindi na naman natuloy.' (He replies with) 'Hoy, ano ka ba, hindi mo kailangan mag-sorry. Dami pa nating embryo. Go lang,'" she said.
Despite this, Alex said she made peace with it, knowing that her faith in the Lord is stronger than her pain.
