Many were shocked to hear “Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman announce her pregnancy on the “Love and Hip Hop ATL” after show when she was merely just six weeks pregnant.
Now, just a few weeks following what was initially a happy announcement, Tami and her beau Reggie Youngblood are unfortunately announcing her miscarriage.
Reps for Tami and Reggie have confirmed that Tami suffered a miscarriage while she was three months along in her pregnancy.
According to their reps, the couple is naturally mourning the loss of what would have been their first child together.
“The couple requests prayers and privacy as they get through this difficult time,” the reps have said.
Prior to her miscarriage, Tami, 45 gushed about her pregnancy to Necole Bitchie and revealed that various celebrities such as Halle Berry motivated her to get pregnant at an older age.
She also revealed that pregnancy at 45 was something she initially did not want. However, her love for Reggie—-who is several years younger than her— fueled her interest to get pregnant again.
“I’m not going to act like I’m not afraid. Deciding to have a child at the age of 45 is very risky, and when I first found out that I was definitely pregnant I went through a lot of emotions; fear, excitement, anxiety and stress,” Tami told Necole Bitchie.
She added, “I find resolve in knowing that the person I am having this child with absolutely adores me and wants to build a family with me so I’m excited about the possibility of that.”
Our hearts and prayers go out to Tami and Reggie at this time.
