Amidst their grief, the couple shared, “During these difficult times, the Lord was close to us. He embraced us and supported us through it all. We are heartbroken and our souls are tired, but we know that we can overcome this painful time with the strength, peace, and joy that only our Heavenly Father can provide.”

In their message, they reflected on their deep sorrow, mentioning, “May Della be held in Jesus’ arms until one day we see her again.” They included two biblical verses that resonated with their experience.

Drake and Alex celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary in June and are parents to a two-year-old son, William Hawk. They had previously announced plans for a second child, sharing their fertility journey in a conversation with People Magazine.

“We were able to get pregnant through IVF and we did a frozen embryo transfer in March. We found out we were expecting just 10 days later, with a due date scheduled for November,” they noted.
