The fitness instructor revealed that hearing the “strong heart” made her happy especially because of the miscarriage she had in the spring.” She explained they were sharing the news this early because they were “excited” and didn’t want to hide it.

Alec’s wife revealed how she’d suffered with “exhaustion and nausea” over the months. Taking a more serious approach, she requested that the paparazzi not “follow me or buy independent paparazzi photos.”

“I want to remain peaceful during this very early time in my pregnancy and getting chased around by cameras is not in the doctor’s orders.”

On April 4, Hilaria posted sharing that she suspected she was suffering a miscarriage. Five days later she confirmed the tragic news and revealed that she’d undergone a subsequent dilation and curettage surgery.

The comedian added: "We're having another one; we're having a fifth baby." Nealon responded by asking him if the child was already on the way and Alec responded: "Not that I know of.”
