Popular actress Alexa PenaVega and singer Carlos PenaVega shared some devastating news with fans this week. The couple revealed on Instagram that their fourth child, a daughter they named Indy, was stillborn.
“Words can’t express the pain we feel,” they wrote in a heartfelt post. They continued, describing the peaceful delivery of their daughter and the immense grief that followed.
A Life Briefly Held
Despite Indy’s short time on earth, Alexa and Carlos expressed the profound impact their little girl had. “Our precious Indy already changed our lives in so many ways,” they wrote. “She was absolutely beautiful, with dark hair just like her dad.”
The couple went on to describe the waves of grief they’ve been experiencing, moments of crushing sorrow intermixed with gratitude for the brief time they had with Indy.
“We don’t understand why things like this happen,” they shared. But their message resonated with love for their lost daughter. “Indy Rex PenaVega, you completely changed our world. You brought us closer together and gave us the love we craved. We love you and can’t wait to see how you continue to touch other lives.”
