Lauren and Cameron Hamilton of Love Is Blind season one are expecting their first child.
The fan-favorite couple from the hit Netflix show confirmed the heartwarming news to PEOPLE mag and shared that the milestone has been years in the making. “We were counting down the day till we could test because we did IVF,” Cameron shared. “We knew, okay, this is the day that we’re going to do the test. Of course, we’re going in for a blood test later that day, but we couldn’t wait any longer.”
“We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look at the Clearblue test and it was face down. We flipped it over. We saw the word pregnant, and that was just a huge moment to actually see the word pregnant on the test,” he continued.
Lauren chimed in calling their news “a relief” adding, “We’ve taken a few pregnancy tests and when you use the ones with the lines, it could be anxiety driven because it’s like, ‘Is that what I think?’ So seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing. We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried.” The 37-year-old also revealed that the pregnancy follows four long years of trying as she and Cameron previously spoke about their infertility journey on their podcast, The Love Seat.
She also shared that her pregnancy came weeks after a family loss. “I lost my father on Christmas of last year,” she explained. “And so we took this test the end of January, beginning of February, so this was literally light in the darkness. This was like, wow. The spark that my whole family needed. We’ve been trying for a long time.”
“It was a little bittersweet because my dad’s not here physically to be with us, but we know that he’s watching over us,” she emoted. “So it was just like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this.’ We just felt so blessed, so grateful and happy, excited. Then it hit like, ‘We’re going to be parents. Oh my God.’”
For Cameron, he explained how he’s looking forward to “the beginning stages, just being with the baby.” He added, “I think about when my dad, when they brought me back home from the hospital that first night, I slept on my dad’s chest, so maybe we can keep that tradition going.”
Congratulations to Lauren and Cameron Hamilton!
