“God has really met us in this place between pain and peace. Our family has never been stronger, our faith has never been stronger [and] our marriage has never been stronger,” PenaVega explained.

The PenaVega couple got hitched in 2014, and share three children - son Ocean, seven, Kingston, four, and daughter Rio, three.

It was in March 2024, that the pair announced the sad news of losing their fourth child to stillbirth, reported PageSix.

“There are never the right words to say when it comes to loss. After a beautiful and peaceful delivery our daughter ‘Indy’ was born at rest,” they said in a joint statement.

"It has been a painful journey. But in the pain we have found peace. God continues to comfort and hold us in his arms,” they added.
