After facing miscarriages and multiple rounds of IVF, Olympia Valance and her husband, Thomas Bellchambers, have announced they are expecting their first child.
In an exclusive interview with the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About, as reported by The Herald Sun, the 31-year-old actor and model shared that after “so many years of bad news” and enduring numerous challenges, she and her husband are now preparing to welcome their first child.
“We’re having a boy!,” she revealed.
“It’s a hard place to navigate, even now that I’m pregnant. I have friends that are struggling to get pregnant and went through or are going through the same things we went through. I’m so sensitive with the things I say.”
When she was asked about what advice she would give to those struggling with fertility, Olympia was very open.
“You’re not alone, and what you’re feeling at this very moment is valid. And I understand your struggle and it does get better, it does get easier,” she said.
“Whether that’s acceptance, which really changed me… it’s tough. It’s a really, really tough journey and I see you. I hear you. I wish it wasn’t happening to you. But just keep going. Everything happens for a reason. And what will be, will be.”
