After the world watched her find and marry the love of her life, Lauren Speed-Hamilton felt like she gained family members. But that was both a gift and a curse.
“We think of [our supporters] as extended family. But at the same time, it could be a bit much, especially when it came to us getting pregnant,” she recently shared on the Pregnant Pause podcast.
Speed-Hamilton met her husband Cameron on season 1 of Netflix’s Love is Blind. She said shortly after the show ended, fans asked repeatedly about whether or not the couple had a baby on the way.
“Under the comments, I could post a picture of my dog: ‘when are you gonna have a baby?,’” she said. “Imagine seeing that after having a miscarriage. Imagine seeing that after having three failed IUIs. I love that people are excited about what’s next in people’s future, but y’all gotta stop putting all this pressure on women to have children.”
The reality stars and content creators announced they were expecting after four years of trying in May 2025. The two candidly discussed their fertility challenges and shared they conceived via in vitro fertilization. On the show, Speed-Hamilton shared how her faith helped her navigate her journey to motherhood.
“I had to relinquish control. I had to pray to God,” she said. ‘It’s so easy to lose hope in that situation. You start feeling despair. So I would just pray for strength and guidance. I had to trust God.”
