The co-host of The Viall Files podcast revealed that she "miscarried again" in a candid Instagram Stories post on Sunday, March 23. She previously miscarried in January.

"While mourning the loss of our second baby at the beginning of this year, I quickly and very unexpectedly found out I was pregnant again," Joy began. "It took some time for me to accept what had happened, only to be handed another chance so easily and so fast. But eventually, I found so much happiness. We were finally in a place of complete and utter gratitude."

However, she continued, "This past week, I miscarried again."

Describing the experience as "harder than I imagined," Joy continued, "It's going to take some time for me to feel like myself again, and honestly, I may never will, but I hope to keep y'all involved in whatever that may look like."

"Going back to squeezing my husband and my sweet angel River Rose, who are truly the reason I have survived this time and time," she added, referring to Viall and their daughter, who was born in February 2024.

Joy previously opened up about actively experiencing a miscarriage earlier this year in the Jan. 29 episode of the couple's podcast.

As she explained, the pair found out Joy was pregnant with their second baby sometime before the miscarriage.

Calling the miscarriage "the biggest heartbreak, I think, of my life," Joy said, "I've never experienced something where I feel so empty inside."

"My sister has had 12 miscarriages," she added. "It's like you feel sad and you wanna be there for these people, but you don't really know the loss that they feel until you go through it yourself."
