Over at Zach’s home, he and his wife Tori are managing the chaos that comes with raising son Jackson, 3, and daughter Lilah, 1, caring for two young kids during a pandemic. Last month, Tori shared publicly that she had suffered a miscarriage, learning at her 8-week ultrasound that she had lost the baby two weeks prior. “I’ve honestly never felt loss like I did in that moment,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’ve never felt so sad, angry, and scared in a single moment. I had no symptoms of losing [our] sweet angel baby and nothing could have prepared me for hearing our sweet baby was gone.”
Calling Zach her “unwavering rock” throughout the entire journey, she continued, “If there is any silver lining here it’s the realization of how truly blessed we are. We have two happy healthy thriving kids, and I know that’s not afforded to everyone. We have two kids who we have to snuggle and love on every day.” The TLC personality added that it was important for her to share her own experience with pregnancy loss “in hopes that it will touch just one mama and let them know you’re not alone.” Little People, Big World returns for a brand new season Tuesday, May 11 at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
