‘Basketball Wives’ Star Tami Roman Suffers a Miscarriage
Just a few weeks after announcing her pregnancy on the "Love and Hip Hop: ATL" after show, Tami Roman and her beau Reggie Youngblood have now revealed that she recently suffered a miscarriage.
Roman and Youngblood's representatives disclosed the news to TMZ, saying that the couple is "mourning their loss with close friends and family."
The reps added that, "the couple requests prayers and privacy as they get through this difficult time."
TMZ reports that Roman was three months pregnant when she suffered the miscarriage. This baby would have been her third child altogether and her first child with Youngblood.
Following the news of her miscarriage, Roman and Youngblood have remained silent to the public until now.
Bossip reports that on Saturday Aug. 1, Roman took to Instagram to express her thoughts and feelings about her miscarriage.
While admitting that she spent a long time crying and mourning the loss of her child, she now feels what she describes as an "eerie" sense of calm in knowing that her unborn child is with her mother in heaven.
"I got to a place of eerie calm, believing the spirit of my unborn child is with my mom. I don't know, it made me feel better believing that a part of me is keeping her company," Roman wrote on Instagram, adding that her child passed away on her mother's birthday.
In addition to now feeling calm about her loss, Roman also revealed that her miscarriage allowed her to realize just how much she wants to become a mother again despite being 45 years old.
When she became pregnant with her third child, Roman explained that she initially thought she was doing it to please Youngblood. However, the loss of her child has now sparked a desire in her to try again.
"I always thought this was about Reggie, that I was doing this for him...but NO, this is about me. I know that now. God needed to know I wanted this too and I DO," she wrote.
She added, "I represent women my age who want families, but feel it's not possible or think it's too late. I plan to show you with God's help, that it can be done."
