The couple, who tied the knot on a private farm in rural Tennessee in April 2016, previously opened up in October 2017about a miscarriage they had sufferedjust two days after they found out they were pregnant the first time.
“Ihad these guilty feelings of if, ‘I can’t even take care of a child for a week in my stomach, I can’t raise a child on my own,’ ” she said later, in an interview published in June 2018. “Ifelt guilty to Andrew thatI had lost his child, and I felt guilty to God that I lost his child.”
The pair cited the support they received from those around them as well as their personal faith as paramount in helping them through their feelings of loss.
“No matter what you go through, you will always come out of it,” said Johnson East. “And I think if you believe in Him and have faith in Him, you’ll come out stronger than you were before.”
