Former Selling Sunset star Maya Vander is pregnant after a miscarriage and stillbirth

Former Selling Sunset star Maya Vander is celebrating some very happy news.

The 39-year-old reality TV star is pregnant again after suffering a stillbirth followed by a miscarriage for the past year and a half.

Fans began wondering if the star was pregnant after she posted her latest Instagram video on Thursday, in which she appeared to be carrying a baby bump.

The happy news was later confirmed by People, with a source confirming to the publication that Maya was pregnant.

Last year, Vander shared the heartbreaking news that she had miscarried at 10 weeks. It came just six months after she went through a stillbirth in December 2021.

A week earlier, the star honored her late son Mason on Instagram when she posed with her businessman, husband David Miller, in front of a playground they donated in his memory.

“Today was a very emotional morning! Our playground donation has been completed and opened up for the children. This playground will bring joy to so many children.”

“Our stillborn Freemason will forever be in our hearts! In every tragedy we can try to find a little light and learn how to navigate through hard times. Thank you Child Care Center for letting us create such a fun space for the kids!’

The couple already have two children together, Aiden, four, and Elle, three.

Last year, the star took to her Instagram Stories that she still wonders why the stillbirth happened to her “perfect baby.”

In her post to mark a year since his death, she said she wasn’t sure how she would feel on the day, before explaining that his death was “basically bad luck” due to a compressed placental cord.

She wrote: “Exactly one year ago today I marked one year since I lost my son Mason at 38 weeks (9 months) and had a vaginal stillbirth. I wasn’t sure what that day would be like. He would have been a year old and might have taken his first step.

“I still have questions about why?” He was a perfect baby and the autopsy report came back with no results.

“Dr. Kliman from Yale University looked at my placenta and was almost certain that the umbilical cord was compressed. Basically bad luck.’

She continued, “I’ve decided to just spend my day with the kids and be grateful to them. At the end of the day, sitting in bed and crying won’t bring him back.’

“Approaching the holiday season, which was gray and gloomy last year, gives me hope that I can enjoy it again. Life goes on… and you learn to deal with grief in different ways…”

At the time of her loss, Vander shared the sad news on Instagram.

“Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. I had a stillbirth at 38 weeks. I’ve always heard about it but never thought I’d be part of the stats,” she wrote.

“Instead of giving birth to a baby, I get to go home with a keepsake box…I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”

“What was a regular weekly checkup turned into a nightmare that I can never imagine will happen to me,” she continued.

“Given that I share my pregnancies on the show, I knew I needed to post about it and avoid the ‘when is your due date?’ question. You will always be in our hearts, Baby Mason.’

Six months after her stillbirth, she shared that she suffered a miscarriage in June 2022.

Maya, who announced in 2021 that she was leaving Selling Sunset after five seasons to focus on her family, confirmed she suffered a miscarriage in June at 10 weeks pregnant – just six months after her heartbreaking stillbirth.

She wrote on Instagram: “I’ve had a very crazy week. Miscarriage at 10 weeks… after my stillbirth. But my kids and husband are absolutely my blessings and I’m so lucky to be their mother!!’

“You bring joy and happiness to my life!! Hug and love the people you care about. Don’t take things for granted!’
