Tara Lipinski revealed that her surrogate experienced a pregnancy loss while carrying her and husband Todd Kapostasy’s second child. 

“A few months ago, we lost our baby in the second trimester,” the Olympian began in a Friday Instagram post.

“We’ve been on our second surrogacy journey for two years now,” Lipinski continued.

The former gymnast added that the first surrogate who carried the couple’s daughter, Georgie, 2, “wasn’t medically cleared to proceed.”

“I grieved that ending and we started over. 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,” Lipinski said.

The “Traitors” alum, who has been open about her fertility struggles over the years, admitted, “A second trimester loss was devastating. Something new to add to the long list of heartbreaks we’ve endured on this fertility journey.

“Another memory that will be hard to erase. That appointment will be etched in my mind forever as well as all the steps that came after when a pregnancy is that far along.”

Lipinski credited those who have reached out with own stories as her reason to share what she’s going through — “especially when it’s hard🤍.”

The athlete explained that while it’s tough to keep pushing forward after moments like this, she “did it once, and “can do it again.”

Fans quickly flocked to the comments section to lend their support to the reality star.

“I’m so so sorry. Praying for you.💔🙏🏻,” one follower wrote, while a second penned, “You are beyond inspiring for your grace and strength throughout everything you do❤️. “

Rounding out the sweet messages, another social media user said, “I am so incredibly sorry Tara 🤍 sending so much love (I’d say strength but you’re one of the strongest warriors I know).”

In 2023, Lipinsky and Kapostasy welcomed Georgie via surrogate following five years of fertility struggles and multiple miscarriages.

“I dreamt about this for so long. A crying baby, sleepless nights,” the gold medalist told People at the time.

When the gestational carrier gave birth, Lipinski “was playing Dave Matthews’s song ‘You and Me’ and … could not stop sobbing” in the delivery room.

“Then the baby came out, and it was so much relief,” the retired figure skater recounted. “I felt like I could breathe again.”

Before her daughter’s arrival, Lipinsky suffered four pregnancy losses, six failed IVF transfers and eight egg retrievals.

She was eventually diagnosed with endometriosis and underwent two major surgeries.

After her fourth miscarriage, the 1998 Olympic champion and movie director decided that it was time to “think of other options.”

While on her and Kapostasy’s “Unexpecting” podcast in October 2023, the pair discussed how they developed a “magical” relationship with their first surrogate, Mikayla.

As Lipinski shared, “There was an immediate connection and bond between us, one I just didn’t expect to feel so strongly. Two peas in a pod type of feeling … teammates on the deepest level.”

Last year, the podcaster opened up about expanding her family, telling People she and her husband “are definitely wanting to bring a sibling to Georgie.”

Author Cheryl Strayed has revealed that her husband, filmmaker Brian Lindstrom, has been diagnosed with a “serious, fatal illness.”

The 57-year-old writer, whose memoir “Wild” was adapted into a 2014 film starring Reese Witherspoon as Strayed, apologized to fans as she was forced to cancel her upcoming appearances amid her husband of 25 years’ health battle.

“My beloved husband Brian has been diagnosed with a serious, fatal illness,” she wrote on Instagram on Thursday.

“For that reason I had to cancel my writing workshop at Kripalu and also my appearance at Hunter College this week,” Strayed added. 

“My apologies to those of you who made plans to be there. I simply cannot do anything but be with my family right now and see to our broken hearts.

“I ask that you hold us in your thoughts, prayers, light and love.” 

Strayed said it may feel “emotionally dissonant” to see her posting “cheerful clips” from her podcast, “Mind Over Mountain,” amid the news.

“Those interviews, which I loved doing, were recorded previously, in easier, happier times,” she clarified.

Strayed is the author of “Torch,” “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar” and “Brave Enough.”

“Tiny Beautiful Things,” based on her advice column, was adapted into a 2023 Hulu series starring Kathryn Hahn, while “Wild” earned Witherspoon an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Strayed during her Pacific Crest Trail hike.

Documentarian Lindstrom is known for directing 2013’s “Alien Boy: The Life and Death of James Chasse” and 2022’s “Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill.”

He and Strayed also co-directed the 2019 film “We Are Forbidden.”

The couple met in 1995 and shares two adult children, Bobbi Strayed Lindstrom and Carver Strayed Lindstrom.

“Met this beautiful man 27 years ago today — literally half my lifetime ago,” Strayed wrote in a 2022 Facebook post.

“The next day I wrote in my journal: ‘I met a man named Brian Lindstrom last night. I don’t know who he is, but I think he’ll be someone to me.’ Little did I know how right I’d be. And how lucky.”

Strayed has frequently spoken about her husband’s support throughout her career.

“There’s no doing it without him,” she told The Great Discontent in 2012.

“When I was writing ‘Torch,’ he believed in me more than I believed in myself. He’s always, always, always been there for me, every time I needed him. He encourages me. He believes in me.”

“He’s an amazing person and an amazing filmmaker,” she added.

“Many people ask us if we’re jealous of each other or competitive because we’re both artists. We’re always mystified by that because we support each other in every way.”

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has finally broken his silence on coach Mike Vrabel’s photo scandal with sports reporter Dianna Russini.

“Yeah, we’re here for Coach, we love Coach,” the athlete told WHDH-TV 7News in Boston Wednesday. “What he does for us, what he’s done for us this past year, you can’t speak into words, and just thankful he’s our head coach.”

Maye, 23, added that although he knows Vrabel is “dealing with some stuff off the field and out of the coaching world,” he and his teammates are “here for him.”

“I know he’s gonna come back,” he shared.

The NFL star’s comment comes nearly a month after Page Six released exclusive photos of Vrabel, 50, and Russini, 43, holding hands and hugging at a luxury resort in Sedona, Arizona.

The coach and the sportscaster — who are both married to other people — insisted they were joined by other friends at the resort, despite multiple eyewitnesses disputing their claims.

“These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn’t deserve any further response,” Vrabel told us in a statement at the time.

Russini said in her own statement, “The photos don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day. Like most journalists in the NFL, reporters interact with sources away from stadiums and other venues.”

Despite their denials, Russini was sidelined by the New York Times and then resigned from her position as senior NFL insider at the Athletic.

For his part, Vrabel announced that he would not be with his team for Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft to focus on family and personal matters and seek counseling.

A day later, Page Six published photos of Vrabel and Russini cozying up together at a dimly-lit New York City bar in 2020 — six years before their Arizona resort outing.

“They were kissing and they were all over each other,” an eyewitness told Page Six. “He had a ring on.”

At the time, Mike was already married to his wife, Jen Vrabel, while Russini was set to say “I do” to her now-husband, Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt, just six months later.

Following the release of the latest batch of photos, Russini deleted her social media accounts.

Page Six also exclusively reported that the pics prompted Mike and his wife, Jen, to have an emergency 24-hour marriage summit in Park City, Utah.

Mike and Russini each share two children with their respective spouses.
