Love is blindTaylor Rue ‘broken’ as she shares pregnancy loss: ‘Baby S will be in our hearts forever’
“After the miscarriage we decided we weren’t going to push ourselves to try again. We just wanted to enjoy each other and help each other heal. And that’s exactly what we did! A few months passed and we decided to go grab a test at 10 p.m. hour one evening and he was positive!”
“We were so shocked and so happy. We found out on National Rainbow Baby Day,” shares Rue. “I know God has a purpose behind each of his plans. Of course we’re nervous about what’s to come! Who wouldn’t be, but the excitement far outweighs the anxiety.”
Although Rue left the show alone after a “painful” conversation with her ex-fiancé JP Pierce, she announced on her Instagram last October that she had met someone new.
Posting a photo with her new boyfriend Shelton, Rue wrote, “found my plus one,” in the caption.

In June, Rue announced that she had suffered a miscarriage in a post on her Instagram. Sharing a video of her first doctor’s appointment, Rue took a moment to open up about the difficult news in her caption.
“This was our first meeting where we saw our baby making us parents. We couldn’t wait to share the news of our pregnancy with everyone, but now we are sharing very different news. My prayers and sympathies go out to every family going through this, ” Rue began.
“It went from ‘Mom, there’s a heartbeat’ to ‘no heartbeat’ within a matter of weeks. Cam and I are devastated and heartbroken. Only time will heal the pain we’re feeling,” she continued. “We know that God’s plan is much bigger than ours and that baby S is in heaven looking down on us.”
“Baby S will be in our hearts forever 👼🏻🕊️🍓,” Rue captioned her caption.
