Jessica White has opened up about a profound personal tragedy.

The actress and model disclosed that she and her fiancé, Nathan Wong, have recently mourned the loss of their infant son, Makoa Aaru Preston Wong. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she reflected on her pregnancy journey and the subsequent sorrow.

“Makoa Aaru Preston Wong, my beloved son, you came into this world surrounded by love, altering my life forever. You gifted me with the experience of feeling you grow within me, pushing me to elevate myself to my best form. I tried everything to protect you, but my body was unable to sustain you,” she expressed.

White further elaborated on her grief and the significance behind her son’s name.

“Since your passing, I’ve been submerged in profound sorrow; you were my most cherished blessing from God, and I will forever cherish your presence. True to your name, which your father chose, you were indeed our serene warrior,” she continued.

In the same post, White expressed gratitude for her fiancé and her mother, thanking them for supporting her through the most difficult moments.

“”Nathan, I’m deeply grateful to have a husband as strong and steady as you. You and Mom cared for Makoa and me with such love and devotion, holding this family together when I couldn’t even form a coherent thought. My love for you has grown even deeper-I’II forever cherish having you as my best friend and protector. Together, we know what needs to be done next time. Makoa is watching over us and will forever remain our greatest teacher. He visits me in dreams, resting eternally in my heart as my firstborn.”

She ended her post with, “RIP baby boy”

The loss comes after years of fertility challenges. White has previously shared that she has experienced six miscarriages in her lifetime, including one she spoke about publicly in 2021 during her relationship with Nick Cannon.

“I had six miscarriages,” she said in a past interview with Pagesix. “No baby could actually survive in my womb in the first place. It is a very lonely and isolating experience.”

After seeking medical answers, White discovered she had a large uterine fibroid and a 10 centimeter cyst, both of which prevented her from carrying a pregnancy to term.

After addressing those challenges, she began an IVF journey in 2024 with hopes of starting a family.

White has received an outpouring of support following her announcement.
