Two days later, on the Oct. 26 episode, the couple, who had been officially together since December 2022, revealed they were “ready to start trying” to have children on the podcast.
“A couple months ago, Luke and I talked about the fact that we’re in a very committed relationship, and I went to my OB-GYN (in August) and we got some good news in that regard,” Kristen told listeners.

Doctors told the couple there was “no cause” for what happened.
Kristen’s pregnancy turned out to be what is called a blighted ovum, meaning the embryo either did not develop or did not develop fully, making the pregnancy unviable.
He Mayo Clinic It is reported that between 10 and 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, but the number could be higher, because many occur before a woman knows she is pregnant.
Kristen said she had “light bleeding” during the first few days of her pregnancy.
The hopeful parents-to-be said that once they have dealt with their emotions, they plan to try to expand their family again.
‘I only feel comfortable talking about this because I know that many friends of mine have been through this.’
