"I know that these announcements can hurt. I’ve felt it all. My heart is with you and I pray that our story gives you hope.

The actress took to Instagram in March to post a photo of herself in the hospital, telling her followers that she had tragically lost her baby. She captioned it:
“I took this photo 10 days ago, as I waited for surgery after my sweet little baby lost its heartbeat. I sent it to my fiancé in the waiting room to show him that I was OK. I wasn’t. “I’ve never felt more broken in my life. "I debated sharing this so soon and I'm still frightened about making such a private struggle public, but I'm doing it anyway because it's important."Claire and Andrew wed in August this year, eight months after they got engaged.
