Tara Lipinski has a heartbreaking family update.
The 43-year-old announced that her surrogate experienced a pregnancy loss while carrying her and husband Todd Kapostasy’s second baby.
“A few months ago, we lost our baby in the second trimester,” Tara shared in a May 1 Instagram post alongside a photo of a heart-shaped box. “We’ve been on our second surrogacy journey for two years now. Our first surrogate, who carried Georgiewasn’t medically cleared to proceed with our sibling journey. I grieved that ending and we started over.”
The Olympic gold medalist, who welcomed 2-year-old Georgie in 2023, described the difficulties that her family faced during this latest pregnancy, saying, “From the long road in finding a surrogate, to medical clearance setbacks, to a failed transfer, and now this loss… it hasn’t been an easy road.”
She expressed gratitude toward her surrogates, saying she will “forever be connected” to both of them.
“I feel incredibly lucky for the woman who carried our baby (our angel) who will always hold such a special place in my heart,” she continued. “And for our first surrogate, who has continued to support me from afar through this second journey.”
