Joy and Viall explained they had recently found out they were pregnant with their second baby before the loss.
"I've been trying to be a good mom to River and come and do my job, whether it's on the podcast or on social media for the past week," Joy began. "And currently, 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," she continued. "My sister has had 12 miscarriages, and it's like you feel sad and you wanna be there for these people, but you don't really know the loss that they feel until you go through it yourself."
