Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, a couple known for their vibrant presence both on and off-screen, recently shared a heart-wrenching update. In a text-based Instagram post, they revealed the stillbirth of their fourth child. The announcement came months after they joyfully shared news of expecting another baby last November.
“There are never the right words to say when it comes to loss,” they began. The post continued, describing the peaceful yet profoundly sad arrival of their daughter, whom they named “Indy.” Indy Rex PenaVega, to be precise. The couple opened up about the immense pain they’re enduring, yet they’ve found solace in their faith and the support from their community.
Their Instagram post, filled with love and sorrow, further honored Indy. They described her as a beautiful girl who resembled her father, with dark hair and a profound impact on their lives. Grief, they shared, has been an unpredictable visitor, bringing intense sadness and moments of gratitude for the brief time they had with her.
In a touching conclusion to their post, Carlos and Alexa spoke directly to Indy. They talked about how she’s already changed their world, leading them to a new home in Tennessee and a community they’ve longed for. “We love you and can’t wait to see how many other lives you change,” they wrote, a testament to the indelible mark she’s left on their hearts.
The couple, parents to three other children – Ocean King, Kingston James, and Rio Rey – are navigating this tragic time together. Our thoughts are with the PenaVega family as they mourn the loss of Indy.
