'Love Is Blind' Stars Lauren Speed-Hamilton & Cameron Hamilton Reveal How Fertility Journey Made Them Closer

Whilst a difficult journey, Lauren said their fertility struggles actually brought them closer. "It has made us feel more connected. I think we support each other, we’re more in tune now," she said.

“I feel like in marriage, or any type of relationship, when you go through something that’s big and heavy or weighs on your heart, it creates a bond.”

She added, "I think that it’s actually made us stronger.”

Cameron shared what it has been like watching Lauren taking fertility treatments, even though it wasn't something she initially wanted to do.

"When I saw what you were going through, terms of taking the medications, doing the daily shots, knowing that IVF and all this stuff wasn't really something that you naturally wanted to do but you did it for me," his voice began to crack. "You showed me a new level of love that I'd never seen before."

Later in the show, Cameron offered advice to other men who were experiencing a similar journey with their partners. "As men, our first instinct, it seems, is to want to fix things,” he stated.

“When we’ve been struggling to conceive, my first instinct is to dive into the research on fertility, IVF, try to consume everything I can, come up with a strategy, how are we going to improve the next time.”

The World Health Organization (WHO), reported that 1 in 6 people experience infertility globally. Infertility is defined by not being able to get pregnant naturally within 12 months of trying and it can affect the male or female reproductive system.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a common procedure that many people turn to to help them conceive, but it is costly. Back in April, singer and Emmy award-winning host Adrienne Bailon-Houghton shared that she easily spent over a million dollars on IVF treatments.

"I only did eight cycles of IVF, but that doesn't include the amount of IUIs I did and every other kind of imaginable treatments that you could imagine for fertility," Bailon-Houghton told PEOPLE. "So it was a pretty tough six years of trying to have my son."

In 2022, Adrienne and her husband, Israel Houghton welcomed their son, Ever James via surrogate.

Other celebrities have opened up about their fertility journeys, including Gabrielle Union, Eboni K. Williams, and Tamron Hall.
