Holt and Joblon married in a beautiful ceremony in 2018 and have two kids, four-year-old James and two-year-old Ellie. Before revealing her third pregnancy, the "47 Meters Down" actress shared adorable photos of her older kids, including one of her smiling cheek-to-cheek. She captioned the post, "pals + vacuums + boats + cars."
In January this year, Holt made an Instagram post of James holding up two baby dolls and joked that he wants her to increase their family. She captioned the photo, "Told me he wants seven brothers and five sisters. anyone got nick cannon's number?" Cannon is a TV host and actor with 12 kids from six different women.
Claire Holt Previously Suffered A Miscarriage
Before Holt and Joblon welcomed James in 2018, they suffered a miscarriage during their first pregnancy. In a 2019 cover interview with Mini Magazine, Holt spoke about the loss and said they "lost the baby late in the first trimester."
The "Mean Girls 2" star shared that it was a "devastating" experience that left her feeling "broken and ashamed." She wrote, "Because I experienced such intense grief, I found it very difficult to process things and move on." When Holt eventually got pregnant again about five months later, the actress said she found herself "always waiting for something to go wrong."
In a 2018 Instagram post, Holt wrote that the miscarriage made her not "want to get my hopes up." She added, per Page Six, "I debated sharing this so soon, and I'm still frightened about making such a private struggle public, but I'm doing it anyway because it's important."
