Previously, the couple had been candid about their pregnancy journey and struggles to expand their family.
In 2022, Alexander revealed Lauren suffered a third miscarriage and lauded praise on his wife in the emotional post.
'This woman's strength astounds me every time,' he wrote in the caption alongside a photo of him kissing her in a hospital bed.
'I love you @laurenludwig and your resilience through this just is one more of the countless reasons I love you. all the bumps life throws our way, we got this ❤️ and for anyone else, you're not alone. It's a hell of a lot more normal than I thought.'
He also re-posted a lengthy post shared by Lauren, where she opened up about her miscarriage and how she wanted to share the news publicly to remind women who have also suffered miscarriages that they're 'not alone.'
Lauren admitted that she wasn't sure at first if she would share anything about the miscarriage but 'decided we all need to start talking about the truth more.'

'Last week @alexanderludwig and I had our 3rd miscarriage. I decided I wanted to share because I don't think it's a shameful thing to talk about,' she penned in her post.
'I want to help others realize how common miscarriages are and how they aren't something to be embarrassed about,' she continued.
'Going through this has made me realize, I definitely am not alone,' she added. 'It's so common and yet, I feel its not talked about nearly enough. If more of us talked about these things, maybe we would feel less alone and at fault. Information is power and I want to start sharing more of it.'
She concluded her post by noting that the tragedy will always be a part of their lives, but hoped 'by sharing this, if for no other reason, is for that one person reading this to know they are not alone ❤️.'
