But on August 5, 2017, Girardi announced that she lost her babies due to TTS (twin-twin transfusion syndrome). She wrote about her miscarriage on her Facebook page,

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. On August 3, I went for an ultrasound because the perinatologist noticed that one of my twins had more fluid than the other, which was the first sign of TTTS (twin to twin transfusion syndrome), this is when one twin takes more nutrients than the other.

The doctors had warned me that if I did not go into labor and deliver the babies, I was risking my own life and causing an infection in my uterus, but they would not survive to 18 weeks.

They also said there was a very small chance, less than 5%, that the babies could survive and the fluids in their amniotic sacs would replenish themselves, so as any mother would do, I did everything I could to save them, but their hearts stopped beating on the second day, which is also when I went into septic shock with 104 fever.

My little angels went to heaven on August 5th and they took me into the operating room for emergency surgery and I was in ICU for 4 days. RIP My Sweet Angels.

Although he has no children of his own. She has a goddaughter Hayden .

Previously, Vienna Girardi was engaged to Jake Pavelka, the winner of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love , season 14. But the relationship didn’t last long as they called off their engagement after living together for almost three months.

Their split was one of the controversial breakups in the show’s history. In an interview, Girardi said:

It started about a month after our appointment. The first month we were together was great he was crazy about me and then from there it just went downhill and it wasn’t like we were in a relationship like it felt like a relationship when the cameras were rolling down the red carpet . so we’re in public.’

But like at home, it wasn’t like we were in a relationship, like loneliness was like at home. I tell him all the time that I just wanted him to want to be around me and for him to talk to me and kiss me and have a normal relationship.

She further added that he was emotionally abusive and short-tempered. To which Pavelka replied,

I am disgusted with you. You sold me to a magazine for payment and then flirted with me all weekend.

Pavelka further revealed that she cheated on him, however, both have denied each other’s allegations.
