Nick Viall’s wife, Natalie Joy, revealed she suffered a second miscarriage within a span of a few months of her first.
“This past week, I miscarried again,” the surgical technologist announced via her Instagram Story on Sunday.
“While mourning the loss of our second baby at the beginning of this year, I quickly and very unexpectedly found out I was pregnant again,” she added.
Joy said it “took some time for me to accept what had happened only to be handed another chance so easily and so fast.”
“But eventually I found so much happiness. We were finally in a place of complete utter gratitude,” she wrote.
“It’s going to take some time for me to feel like myself again and honestly I may never will but I hope to keep y’all involved in whatever that may look like,” she added.
“Going back to squeezing my husband and my sweet angel River Rose who are truly the reason I have survived this time and time again,” Joy concluded, referring to her and Viall’s 1-year-old daughter, River.
The influencer’s heartbreaking announcement comes after she shared she was “actively miscarrying” during an episode of the “Viall Files” podcast in January.

During the emotional segment, Joy referred to the incident as the “biggest heartbreak” she’s experienced, explaining she’s “never felt so empty” and was “dead inside” while taking care of her toddler.
“It sucks because I have to be so alive for River,” she said. “I have to be silly and goofy and funny and play with her.
“Then, I have this overwhelming guilt that when I’m with [my husband], I can’t also do that. I’m sad that the only version [he gets] right now is this broken person.”
Joy recalled the moment she knew she was miscarrying but “didn’t want to accept” the truth.
She and Viall, 44, were “able to retrieve the baby and everything that came with it” and “bury [their] baby in a place [they] can always connect with.”
Joy and the “Bachelor” alum, who wed in April 2024, became parents to River in February 2024.
