This isn’t the first time that the couple has opened up about the challenges they’ve faced on the road to parenthood. In March 2019, while announcing the birth of their eldest Pia, David expressed what it meant to hold their baby girl after Maria previously experienced three miscarriages.
“Today is a particularly special day for Maria and I… and it’s special because in order to get to where we are today, with the joy of our newborn in our arms, my wife and I went through trials,” he explained in an Instagram post. “I felt compelled to share this because I had no clue just how difficult trying to start a family could be.”
Three years later, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum revealed Maria experienced two more miscarriages before getting pregnant with their third child.
Through it all, David has remained in awe of Maria’s strength, especially when it comes to their family.
“Watching my wife pour her days into our children has quietly rewired the way I see the world. There’s no applause, no résumé line, no quarterly report. Just meals made, tears dried, lessons repeated, prayers whispered, order restored again and again in small, almost invisible ways,” he wrote on Instagram in December. “And yet… everything in our home rests on it… I’m endlessly grateful for my wife.”
