Alex Gonzaga, the beloved TV host, actress, and content creator, has opened up about experiencing a second miscarriage last October. In the latest vlog of her sister Toni Gonzaga, Alex detailed her journey and the emotional challenges she and her husband, Mikee Morada, faced while trying to expand their family through in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
Alex revealed that her inspiration to try IVF came from former United States First Lady Michelle Obama’s story. Michelle Obama had shared her experience of a miscarriage followed by successful IVF pregnancy, which motivated Alex to explore the option.
“Nakita ko si Michelle Obama, basta nakita ko sinabi niya na nagkaroon siya ng miscarriage then after two years, ‘di sila makapag-conceive ni Barrack [Obama], so sabi niya mag-IVF siya,” Alex shared.
While her second pregnancy was kept private, it did not progress as hoped, resulting in another heartbreaking miscarriage. Despite the difficulties she has faced, Alex maintains her faith and unwavering trust in God.
Alex’s first miscarriage occurred in October 2021, adding to the emotional weight of her second loss. The pressure to conceive, both from external sources and her personal aspirations, had weighed heavily on her. However, Alex has now shifted her perspective and is prepared to wait patiently for what lies ahead. She believes that these trials are necessary for her personal growth and to become a better person.
Alex also shared the unwavering support she received from her husband, Mikee, who displayed incredible kindness and strength. He expressed contentment with their bond and assured her that even without a child, he is already fulfilled. The actress acknowledges the pain of hope and knows that expectations can be hurtful. She has come to terms with whatever path God chooses for her and Mikee.
In November 2021, Alex and Mikee tied the knot, marking a new chapter in their journey. The couple’s love and resilience serve as a reminder that challenges and setbacks can strengthen bonds and faith, even in the face of adversity. Alex’s willingness to share her experiences offers solace and inspiration to others navigating similar difficulties and underscores the power of patience and faith in life’s uncertain journey.
