Courtney Stoddenis experiencing a “roller coaster of emotions” after learning that they had a miscarriage.

Stodden, whoidentifies as non-binaryand uses she/they pronouns, issued a trigger warning before announcing the news in a candidInstagram poston Friday.

“This is a hard one but I believe it to be important given others experience exactly this same thing in silence. I recently found out that I suffered an early miscarriage (around 10 weeks) ; it’s been a roller coaster of emotions. I feel grief in every sense of the word,” wrote Stodden.

TheCelebrity Big Brotheralum said that although the miscarriage occurred early in their pregnancy, it brought a “feeling of loneliness” that they “can’t shake.”

“I’m sharing this to shine light on the fact that no matter how early a loss occurs, it’s still a loss,” continued Stodden. “I’ve tried to keep this to myself, just a few close relatives and friends know — but I thought it was important to just accept the fact and hopefully find some peace as there is strength in numbers.”
