Many of the couple's fans left well wishes and words of excitement in the comments. "SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH! Congrats on growing your family ๐คโค๏ธ," said Olympic gold medalist Kyla Ross. A fan added, "Iโm literally going to cry over 2 complete strangers on the internet Iโve never met!!! Lmao. Iโve been following your journey here and on TikTok for a while now and your journey to this point, I honestly couldnโt be happier for you guys!!! You deserve this so much!!! ๐๐๐๐."
An video posted on their TikTok page and Chanen's Instagram on December 1 told the couple's fertility story. "Doctors finally give us the green light to start trying to get pregnant," the beginning of the video reads. "We got pregnant. Bestie sits in bathroom with me while I'm vomiting from being in shock from a traumatizing miscarriage where I had to 'flush it.'"
The next part in the video shows the couple dancing in a club "pretending like we're ok when we're not." The video continues with, "Gets pregnant with our rainbow baby." Then she shows her crying with the words, "Has a second miscarriage on an airplane."
The couple, both 26, met when they were students at Penn State, and after three years of dating, got married in February 2020. Chanen has revealed that after recovering from an eating disorder in college that stopped her menstrual cycles for five years, she was told she wouldn't be able to get children. But once healthy, the couple decided they both wanted to try for a baby.
