The heartbroken mum even revealed the gender of their late baby.

They were due to welcome a baby boy in April, 2020.

“Thank you everyone for all the love. I don’t even know how I’m going to begin to respond to it all so I think I’ll just have to do it here.”

“In 48 hours we lost our baby — boy, by the way — and I almost lost my life, which is not a story that has been told, but at some point I can dig into the details with you guys about what happened in the emergency room,” she shared.

“And James got eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. I’m pretty shocked. It is worth noting that Ally is a beautiful dancer and we love her like family. And she tried to give her spot to James, she tried quitting the show. Little angel,” she revealed.

"My wife Kimberly and I went through every expectant parent's worst nightmare. We lost the baby. The little soul that we had expected to welcome into our family took a shortcut to whatever lies beyond," he revealed.

The heartbroken actor continued. “You never know why these things happen. It's what I've been telling my kids. All you know is that it brings you closer together."

"It breaks you open. It opens up your heart. Deepens your appreciation. Makes you more human. I really didn't think I would be dancing tonight. But Kimberly from our hospital bed said to me, 'I am not done watching you dance.' Kimberly, I love you,” he added.

James explained that he invited the Dancing With The Stars camera to their ultrasound, despite past heartaches.

“We chose to have our first ultrasound on camera with our #DWTS crew capturing the result – something I NEVER thought we’d ever do… but @vanderkimberly and I have been through three of those first appointments to discover either no heartbeat, or no baby, and she wanted to share this moment.”

James revealed that their family had experienced harrowing losses in the past but they wanted to mark this special moment.

“Miscarriage (a word that needs a replacement – nobody failed to “carry”, these things sometimes just happen) is something that people rarely talk about, and often go through in secret,” the dad wrote.

The Dawson’s Creek actor said, “But there needs to be zero shame around it, or around giving yourself the time and space to grieve. We decided to put ourselves out there – not knowing what we’d find – in an effort to chip away at any senseless stigma around this experience and to encourage people who might be going through it to open themselves up to love & support from friends and family when they need it most. Happily, for us – this time- we walked out with tears of joy.”

We couldn’t be happier for the pair.
