Article continues after this advertisementThe loss of her baby comes after she announced having a miscarriage last January. “[We] are shocked [and] completely heartbroken,” she said then.
“[I] am so sad but not discouraged. [When] the time feels right we will try again.”
With this pregnancy, Perri had her first nude maternity shoot. She noted that she did not have one when she was pregnant with her first child, 2-year-old Carmella, because she was “so traumatized by the experience of expanding so much.”
However, her miscarriage changed her view of pregnancy. “I don’t know if [I’ll] ever be pregnant again,” she said.
The announcement of her baby’s death came before Meghan Markle revealed that she had a miscarriage in July through an essay published in the New York Times yesterday. /ra
