In a lengthy post shared online, Erik revealed that Logen suffered a miscarriage, and he explained in detail what went wrong.
Now, the couple is trying to put the pieces back together as they mourn their baby girl, revealing they had already chosen a name for her.

MAFS alum Erik Lake returns to Instagram with sad news
Everyone who followed Erik on social media knew about Logen’s infertility issues, and when they shared the news of her pregnancy in August, MAFS fans celebrated with the couple.
Sadly, Erik shared a recent update, revealing they discovered during the 12-week checkup that their baby was having major developmental issues.
“Basically fluid was building her own, her babies, neck, and body at over triple the levels it should have been,” explained the MAFS alum.
He continued, “Within a week of finding out and trying to figure out what to do our baby had already passed away from these issues.”
The Air Force aviator admitted that he and Logen were surprised by their baby’s death because, before their latest checkup, things were progressing well.
The couple already found out they were having a girl and had chosen the name Kennedy for her.
“That will remain her name forever in our hearts,” wrote Erik. “I will always love you, Kennedy Lake 🩶🩶🩶.”
Erik also noted that he and Logen will never give up on their plans for a family, noting that they will continue to pray and hopefully have their “first miracle next year.”

“Sometimes I feel insane for not being angry at God for taking our little girl so soon,” she confessed, adding that there are days when she feels “broken.”
However, on the bright side, Logen said despite the loss, she’s happy that Kennedy “didn’t have to suffer.”
She also thanked everyone for their prayers, adding, “We definitely need the prayers now more than ever.”
