The post continued: “As a family we ask that you give us privacy because our hearts are truly broken and we are struggling to cope with what has happened.

“GOD gave us the biggest blessing yet. I’m finally creating a beautiful little human inside of me,” Thea wrote in her Instagram post announcing her pregnancy. “Can’t believe this bubba will be half of me and half of the loml. Honestly, @global_boga has been the best support EVER and GOD made no mistakes making him the father. We are already obsessed with you our little miracle baby.”
