Former 'Bachelor' star Vanessa Grimaldi says she had a second miscarriage: 'My heart aches for the baby I never got to meet'
Vanessa Grimaldi is opening up about her second miscarriage. On Monday, the former 'Bachelor' star took to social media to share her feelings and 'grief' while navigating her second pregnancy loss. The 37-year-old Montréal native shared a photo of herself to Instagram, drinking a Tim Hortons Iced Cappuccino along with her thoughts on the 'complicated' grief she's experiencing.
'This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal. Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again,' she said. 'It adds another layer to the grief, one that's heavier, more complicated and harder to put into words.'
Grimaldi said she's been finding comfort in her 2-year-old son Winston's bedroom. The former reality star said she was so 'grateful' for her son, who she shares with husband Josh Wolfe.

'And at the same time, my heart aches for the baby I never got to meet,' she said. 'I keep thinking about Winston as a newborn. All the firsts, the sleepy snuggles, the tiny milestones. I imagined getting to live through those moments again.'
Grimaldi said her 'mind feels foggy' and that she's been doing her best to keep busy instead of 'sitting too long' with her grief.
'Grief is strange,' she added. 'It sneaks in, even in the middle of gratitude.'
She added that her husband brought her an iced cappuccino, something she had avoided since she found out she was pregnant.
'It feels simple, but also like the first small step back to myself.'
She concluded her post with a message of 'love and comfort' to other women experiencing loss.
'And maybe the next time you're sipping an iced cappuccino you'll be reminded that you're not alone in this. I see you, I'm grieving with you.'

In the caption of the post, Grimaldi shared the statistic that 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage.
That number could be higher, since many women can miscarry before they know they're pregnant. Eighty per cent of miscarriages occur within the first trimester (before the 12th week of pregnancy), however, the term applies to pregnancy loss before the 20th week. Pregnancy loss after the 20th week - the halfway point of a full gestation- is considered a stillbirth.
Grimaldi's post earned an outpouring of love from followers, many of whom have also dealt with pregnancy loss.
"Such a beautiful post. I have two angel babies. My heart is with anyone who shares the same loss and grief. God Bless," one follower wrote.
"[I] so needed this. I too am going through a miscarriage," another said. "No one talks about this and the heartache and tribulations of grief! Hang in there... focus on you and Winston."
"I had one myself in January and the pain is still so profound," someone else said. "Do all your crying, you're entitled but get right back up and carry on for your family, especially your son. I had my miscarriage on the day of my daughter's second bday. When I look back on her pics, my smile is there but my eyes are not."
In 2024, Grimaldi shared that she had experienced a miscarriage via social media.
'I knew I wanted to help other women feel less alone in their miscarriage journey,' she wrote. 'I know the shock, the pain, the confusion, the feeling of hopelessness and uncomfortable 'When are you having another?' Conversations all too well.'

Massachusetts native Juliana Pasquarosa, who won this past season of 'The Bachelor,' has ended her relationship with her fiancé, Grant Ellis. Pasquarosa, 28, shared the news on her Instagram story Friday, saying the couple made the decision to part ways 'after a lot of honest conversations and reflection.' 'We shared something meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing, and showing up for each other the best way we know how,' the Newton native wrote. 'While this isn't the ending we once imagined, it's one filled with mutual respect, care and hope for what's ahead.' Pasquarosa added that she and Ellis are 'still cheering each other on, just from different places.' 'I'm beyond thankful for all the love and support you all have given us,' she wrote. 'Please be kind.' Ellis, 31, also confirmed that he and Pasquarosa have decided to call it quits on his Instagram story, emphasizing that the couple had a 'meaningful' and 'real' connection. 'We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term,' the New Jersey native wrote. 'There's no negativity here, no resentment [and] just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward,' Ellis added. 'I'll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it. Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we're both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.'

Where to Eat, Drink and Chill in Kauai's Tastiest Beach Town
Before traveling to Hawaii for the first time, I spent hours browsing through Instagram and TikTok foodie posts. Gathering ideas for all the delicious meals I'd eat, I had high expectations for the food in Poipu Beach, located on the south shore of Kauai. As it turns out, this island's food scene impressed me even more than expected. From nicer, more sophisticated spots like Red Salt Restaurant to quick bar bites at Kalapaki Joe's, check out these best Kauai food and drink spots on your next visit. These must-visit restaurants in Kauai won't let you down. I love Indian food and will make a point to grab it during any trip. This tucked-away restaurant, "That Indian Place", has excellent food and will adjust to your spice preferences. I ordered the butter chicken (mild) and the chicken sagwala (mild), along with some garlic naan bread. The local atmosphere and outdoor dining patio really made this place stand out as one of my favorite spots to eat throughout the whole trip. Top menu items Mango LassiButter ChickenChicken Tikka MasalaChicken SagwalaPaneer Tikka Stop by Brennecke's Beach Broiler as you stroll along Poipu Beach for a lively, vibrant atmosphere. Locals and visitors alike know this top spot as one of the best places for food and drink on Kauai. While crowded, you can grab some phenomenal bites here as well as tropical-style frozen cocktails. I loved the desserts here too. If you plan on doing some appetizer or bar hopping along the main strip, definitely make this restaurant/bar a must-visit spot. Top menu items Seafood Pupu PlatterMango MadnessLava Lava FlowPineapple Rum Upside Down Cake If you want to try a Loco Moco, stop by Red Salt Restaurant, attached to the beautiful Ko'a Kea Resort. This spot served the best Loco Moco I had while in Hawaii. A Loco Moco is a Hawaiian favorite comfort food, made with white rice, gravy, a hamburger patty, and topped with a fried egg. It sounds interesting, but trust me once you try it, you'll want to order it time and time again. The ocean views from this restaurant also set the scene for a nice meal. Top menu items Lemon Pineapple PancakesLoco Moco Acai Bowl Unlike other islands with numerous national chains, Kauai offers a more locally inspired dining scene. This laid-back, down-to-earth island provides numerous options for fresh, local seafood, including mahimahi, ahi tuna, and ono. The island also has many traditional Hawaiian plates to try. I highly recommend trying at least one classic Hawaiian dish, such as the Loco Moco, during your visit. You'll also find spam musubi almost everywhere, another classic food in Kauai.
