Bachelor alum Nick Viall’s wife, Natalie Joy, recently shared heartbreaking news regarding her pregnancy journey. On Sunday, March 23, 2025, she took to her Instagram stories to announce she had experienced her second miscarriage in just two months. This revelation follows the emotional toll of previously losing a baby earlier this year with Viall.
“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. It took some time 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 and utter gratitude.”
Alongside her husband, Nick Viall, Natalie co-hosts the podcast The Viall Files. In her recent Instagram post, she expressed her ongoing struggle:
“This past week I miscarried again. 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.”
During her latest miscarriage, Natalie underwent a dilation and curettage procedure. She reflected on the emotional journey, noting that it may take considerable time for her to return to her previous self. Despite these challenges, she credited her husband and their daughter, River Rose, as her sources of strength throughout this difficult period.
Earlier Heartbreak: A Previous Miscarriage in January 2025
Just a couple of months prior to her most recent announcement, Natalie Joy disclosed in a January 29 episode of The Viall Files that she had suffered a miscarriage while their daughter River Rose was just 11 months old. During this episode, she described the profound sorrow of losing another child:
“As I sit here today, I’m actively miscarrying our second child, and it has been the biggest heartbreak, I think, of my life. I’ve never experienced something where I feel so empty inside.”
Natalie also revealed that the pain of miscarriage is not unfamiliar within her family, noting that her sister has endured a staggering 12 miscarriages. However, she poignantly remarked, “you don’t really know the loss that they feel until you go through it yourself.” In a candid moment, she recounted how Nick was at a loss for words when he first learned of the miscarriage.
The couple addressed the challenges of parenting their now 1-year-old, acknowledging the duality of joy and grief. Natalie articulated her struggle with maintaining energy and positivity for River while grappling with her personal loss, stating, “it sucks”to have to be “so alive for River.” She described feelings of exhaustion from the need to “perform”and wear a brave face, which left her in a “really confusing state.”
At the time, she reflected on her experience of losing a child, feeling bewildered after having had a successful pregnancy and birth with River Rose.
Recently, the family celebrated River Rose’s first birthday, an event Natalie Joy described as a “dream come true” in a heartfelt Instagram post shared on February 3, 2025.
