Natalie Joy, spouse of former “Bachelor” star Nick Viall, has disclosed that she experienced a second miscarriage, occurring within months of a previous pregnancy loss.
Announcement on Social Media
The surgical technologist shared the poignant news of her recent miscarriage via an Instagram Story post on Sunday. “This past week, I miscarried again,” she stated in her social media update.
Unexpected Pregnancy and Grief
Joy explained that the pregnancy followed closely after the couple mourned their first loss earlier in the year. “While grieving the loss of our second baby at the beginning of this year, I quickly and unexpectedly found out I was pregnant again,” she elaborated.
Emotional Acceptance and Gratitude
Joy conveyed the initial difficulty in processing the rapid sequence of events. She admitted it “took some time for me to accept what had happened only to be handed another chance so easily and so fast.” However, she added that she ultimately found solace and appreciation, writing, “But eventually I found so much happiness. We were finally in a place of complete utter gratitude.”
Medical Procedure and Healing Process
Joy, age 26, mentioned undergoing a dilation and curettage (D&C), a procedure described by medical sources as the removal of tissue from the uterus following a miscarriage.

Previous Miscarriage Revealed on Podcast
This announcement follows Joy’s previous disclosure of experiencing a miscarriage in January, which she discussed on an episode of the “Viall Files” podcast.
Emotional Toll of Pregnancy Loss
During the January podcast segment, Joy described the earlier miscarriage as the “biggest heartbreak” she had faced. She expressed feeling “empty” and “dead inside” even while caring for her young daughter.
“It sucks because I have to be so alive for River,” she said, adding, “I have to be silly and goofy and funny and play with her.” She further conveyed feelings of guilt, stating, “Then, I have this overwhelming guilt that when I’m with [my husband], I can’t also do that. I’m sad that the only version [he gets] right now is this broken person.”
Saying Goodbye
Joy recounted the difficult moment of recognizing the miscarriage and struggling to accept it. She and Viall were able to “retrieve the baby and everything that came with it” and “bury [their] baby in a place [they] can always connect with.”
Family Life
Joy and Viall, 44, who were married in April 2024, welcomed their daughter River in February 2024.
