He continued, "She was about nine weeks pregnant. We were pretty close to getting into the safe zone. We experienced a miscarriage years ago when we were trying with Giuliana, so we had been keeping the pregnancy news tight to the vest."

. It was during the

"It's a double sadness because we didn't want her to feel bad. And Giuliana was rather distraught at first, but she's tough. In times like this we rely on our faith. Once the tears went away we started to look towards the future." He added that the couple are not giving up on their dream of having another baby. "

We're fighters. Hopefully we're going to have good news and Delphine will be on board one more time.

We've had to battle it out and that's something that we're going to continue to do."
