Laureen Uy revealed that she and her husband Miggy Cruz lost their unborn child whom they named Miles, saying the baby’s heart had stopped beating.

The content creator shared the unfortunate news through an open letter to Miles via Uy’s Instagram page on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

“To our baby girl Miles, from the moment we found out we were pregnant with you, Dad and I were overcome with joy. It was the best news of our lives—a love so immense and instant, it’s hard to put into words,” she recalled.

Uy further recounted how she and Cruz did everything they could for their child’s safety in her womb.

“We pictured holding you in our arms, kissing your tiny hands, singing you to sleep, and exploring the world together—a family of three,” she continued. “But then, God had other plans. The day we learned your heart had stopped beating was the day ours shattered.”

Uy regarded the day she knew about Miles’ death as the worst day of her life, saying her body did not want to let go of her baby.

“Even now, it feels like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. But this is our reality, and it’s a pain I never thought I’d have to bear,” she lamented.

“Losing you isn’t just about the hopes and dreams that slipped away—it’s the heartbreak of losing you, our precious baby girl. There are no words to describe the depth of this pain,” she stated.

“You’ll forever be our daughter, our little angel. Though we grieve, we also hold on to faith,” she added. “We believe He has a plan for us—a future where your memory will forever remain a part of our story.”

“We love you endlessly, Miles. Forever and ever,” Uy concluded.

Uy and Cruz tied the knot in April this year, then announced her first pregnancy in October.
