Mikee Morada opens up about Alex Gonzaga’s 3rd miscarriage

MANILA, Philippines – In a vlog posted by Toni Gonzaga titled “The Hardest Conversation I Had With Mikee,” Mikee Morada opened up about the third miscarriage his wife Alex Gonzaga suffered.

Mikee said that Alex had suffered her third miscarriage in December 2024. He added that the pregnancy was unexpected, as they were just about to plan to prepare Alex’s body for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). When Alex discovered her period was delayed by a few days, she took a pregnancy test, and the results came out positive.

“No’ng nalaman namin na pregnant kami for the third time, nagpa-check na kami kaagad sa OB and okay naman. Tapos nag-decide na kami na mag-iingat na talaga siya, and then the second week, okay pa ‘yung ultrasound, hanggang doon sa pangatlong linggo, sabi sa amin ng doctor sa ultrasound, ‘Nako, wala na namang laman,'” Mikee said.

(When we found out we were pregnant for the third time, we went to the OB immediately for a checkup and everything was okay. Then we decided that Alex would really have to be careful from now on, and then the second week, the ultrasound was still okay, until the third week, the ultrasound doctor told us, “Oh no, it’s empty again.”)

They were told that it was a blighted ovum again. It can be recalled that in October 2021, Alex suffered her first miscarriage, sharing that she was told she was possibly having an anembryonic pregnancy (blighted ovum). She said that she and her husband had hoped for a miracle, but later accepted that “the Lord’s will prevailed and [they] finally closed the book of [their] first pregnancy.”

Mikee said that while they were devastated, they handled the news better this time around compared to the first miscarriage.

They later went to another obstetrician for a second opinion, and on their fourth ultrasound, it showed that there was a child in Alex’s belly. They heard a heartbeat, but found out that it was only going at 65 BPM. They said they did everything they could to save it.

They then went for another checkup on December 28, but saw that the baby no longer had a heartbeat. Mikee shared that he and Alex locked eyes and simply nodded at each other. He added that it was only when they got home that Alex broke down crying.

In November 2023, Alex suffered her second miscarriage. She disclosed that she and Mikee had been trying for a child via IVF, but the procedure failed. Alex, however, assured Toni that she had already come to terms with her miscarriage.

Alex and Mikee got engaged in 2019 and tied the knot in 2020. – Rappler.com
