Jennie Garth revealed she suffered two consecutive miscarriages after tying the knot with Dave Abrams.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum and the actor, who wed in July 2015, got candid about their losses during Tuesday’s episode of the actress’ podcast, “I Choose Me With Jennie Garth.”
“We got pregnant naturally,” Garth recalled, explaining she found out about the baby the same month she and Abrams got hitched.
“We went to a little mini honeymoon to Carmel up in Monterey. And like two weeks later, you were pregnant,” Abrams, 43, added.
The “What I Like About You” star, 52, had her husband explain the story to listeners, admitting she “blocked out” most of the memory.
“We went to Nancy, your doctor, the gynecologist, and yeah, we were good to go,” Abrams continued. “And then that lasted almost four months. And then, you know, we found out … that there was no heartbeat.”
Garth then underwent a dilation and curettage (DNC) procedure, which works to “remove tissue from inside your uterus … to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion,” per Mayo Clinic.
“I remember them saying we could just wait and let it work its way,” she recalled. “And we opted to do the procedure because it was just too much for me to carry a baby that had been terminated.”
The couple shared that the experience made them believe they weren’t meant to have children together.
“But then it happened again,” Abrams said, as Garth, again, admitted she couldn’t recall the experience.
Abrams explained the second pregnancy was shorter and only lasted a month and a half.
The “Secret Santa” star and Facinelli, who were wed from 2001 to 2013, share daughters Luca Bella Facinelli, 27, Lola Ray Facinelli, 21, and Fiona Eve Facinelli, 18.
“[We] were trying to have a baby, and it kept failing,” the mom of three told SELF. “And that was really, really hard on both of us individually and on our relationship.”
Their time apart led Abrams to file for divorce in April 2018 but he dismissed the case in February 2019.
Garth shared that she and Abrams were able to spend time focusing on their relationship rather than the pressures to conceive.
The “Girl, Positive” star has been open about her health and recently revealed she’s experiencing menopause.
