Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and his wife Lauren are expecting their third child after suffering numerous miscarriages over the years.
“I was fully set on just having two children and I had prepared for that and made arrangements for that,” Lauren told People. “We were going to have two children and it was a surprise. I didn’t find out I was pregnant till I was about five-and-a-half months pregnant. I didn’t have any symptoms, I didn’t have anything indicating that I was pregnant. One day I just, I felt something move in my body and I said, ‘Nick, there’s something not right. I think I need to go to the doctor. Something’s wrong with me.’ I was not supposed to be able to have any more children, so I never assumed that I was pregnant.”
She continued, “I thought I had a tumor because there was just no way that I could be pregnant, from just my medical history and the things that I did to ensure that I just had my two children.” Adds Lauren: “Even Nick, like a couple of weeks prior to that, was talking about possibly getting a surrogate, possibly having a third child. It was just something we were talking about.”
“With everything that 2020 has given to the entire world, I look at it as a blessing,” Nick added. “We love our two children and we pride ourselves in being great parents.”
Congratulations to the happy couple, who are also parents to Odin, 4, and Saoirse, 15 months.
