Love & Hip Hop star Jessica White is opening up about the devastating loss of her baby boy via an emotional Instagram post. The model, who has been candid about her fertility struggles, shared the heartbreaking news after suffering her seventh pregnancy loss. She and her husband Nathan Wong are grieving together while vowing to try again.
Oh, the tea is piping hot and heartbreaking this time, darlings. Jessica White, that fierce Love & Hip Hop alum who's been serving realness on her motherhood journey, just dropped a gut-wrenching update on Instagram Sunday. After rubbing her belly in sweet videos, getting those IVF shots from hubby Nathan Wong, and soaking up beach vibes, she revealed the loss of their baby boy, Makoa Aaru Preston Wong. Makoa? It means 'brave man' or 'fearless'—talk about a peaceful warrior who already changed everything. 💔
In her caption, White spilled it all: 'He transformed everything about me' and gave her the 'precious gift of feeling life within.' But the despair? Deep. She fought 'relentlessly to keep him safe,' yet her womb 'couldn’t hold him.' Shouts to Nathan, her 'best friend and protector,' for holding it down through the pain. 'Together, we know what needs to be done next time,' she wrote, calling Makoa their 'greatest teacher' who 'rests eternally in my heart.' Eyes on that resilience! 👀
This isn't White's first rodeo with loss—last year, she told Page Six she's been pinning her hopes on IVF, dealing with hot flashes, random crying spells, and even getting mad at the wind blowing. Those hormones turned her into a total 'pincushion' from all the shots. And get this: a sizable uterine fibroid and a 10-centimeter cyst have led to six prior miscarriages, including one with ex Nick Cannon back in 2021 that she went public about. Heartbroken doesn't cover it—she learned Cannon was expecting with Brittany Bell just two weeks later, via Instagram no less, while they were still together. That prompted a public message from White that got twisted, sparking backlash. Cannon's silence? It sealed the deal for her to 'choose myself' and bounce from the messy years-long romance. He later owned up, taking 'full accountability' for how his quiet damaged things.
Fast-forward to October, when White announced her engagement to Nathan Wong, finding that renewed glow. We're rooting for her through this deep despair—sending all the love. So, is Makoa's legacy the push they need for round two? Stay tuned, because Jessica's not done fighting. 🔥
