Peta spoke to People about her miscarriage in 2021 saying: "I ultimately had no idea [I was pregnant], which in hindsight was better for my recovery because I didn't have that super joyous moment of, 'I'm pregnant again!' "I just had the moment of, 'You lost it.'
She also detailed the pain of her other miscarriage in 2020 adding: "I was sitting in the bathroom sobbing. I'm surprised nobody walked in because I was crying so heavily and wailing, one of those deep cries," she said.
"That was something that will probably live with me for the rest of my life, being on that toilet by myself, knowing what was happening and not being able to stop it."
