Proof that pain can become purpose, where you start never determines where you go and even the most overlooked kid can help millions feels seen šš½š
On September 30th we welcomed our precious daughter, Lyla Love š
She is truly our miracle baby. After many rounds of IVF, the heartbreak of miscarriage, and the long path of surrogacy, we held onto faith that this day would come. God heard our prayer and brought us the sweetest answer šš½
We are forever grateful to our incredible surrogate. There are no words big enough to thank her for the gift she has given our family š¤
Our babygirls Ella Rose š¹ and Myla Sky š¤ļø have been counting down the days to meet their baby sister and are already showering her with so much love. Watching the three of them together has been the most beautiful blessing.
Welcome to the world, sweet Lyla Love. We have prayed for you, we have waited for you, and now we finally get to love you š
Years ago, I chose love in a way that didnāt fit neatly inside the rules I grew up around.
Different culture.āØDifferent religion.āØDifferent expectations.āØ
Although love felt simple to me, to the world around it was complicated.
The quiet pressure.āØThe uncomfortable conversations.āØThe fear of disappointing people you love.āØ
Thatās why UNLIKELY ROMANCES means so much to me.
Each story follows two people who, on paper, āshouldnātā work.
But real love doesnāt always make sense on paper.
I wrote this series for anyone who has ever felt like their love had to be explained, defended, or approved by someone else.
And now, to see it become Samsungās first-ever original scripted series is surreal.
When I started making videos in 2018, I just wanted to tell stories that made people feel seen.
This one makes me feel seen too.
UNLIKELY ROMANCES premieres June 5 on @samsungtvplus .
For anyone who has ever loved outside the lines, this oneās for you. ššā¤ļø
Thank you @thewrap@tesspatton for the feature šš½

EXCLUSIVE with @thewrap
I built my career telling scripted stories.
Now Iām sitting down to hear the real ones.
When I started creating videos in 2018, my goal was simple: take the lessons I had learned through my own failures, struggles, and growth, and turn them into stories that could help someone else feel less alone.
At the time, I just hoped one person would watch and think, āI needed to hear that today.ā
Years later, that same mission is taking on a new format with the launch of my first original podcast: What Happens Next.
Each episode is a deeper conversation with someone I admire about the moments that shaped them.
The breakthroughs.
The setbacks.
The unexpected turns.
The parts of the story people rarely see.
Because the truth is, what happens to us matters.
But what happens next is what defines us.
What Happens Next premieres May 18, with new episodes every Monday on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
Grateful for this next chapter. I hope youāll join me.
To the most selfless, loving, and beautiful momā¦ thank you for everything you do that so often goes unseen. The late nights, the endless patience, and the love you pour into our family every single day.
You give so much to everyone else, so today was all about giving some of that love back to you.
I know we always talk about how lucky we are that God blessed us with three beautiful daughters, but Iām the lucky one because I get to watch you be an incredible mother every day.
Happy Motherās Day, beautiful š
Happy birthday, Ella Rose.
You will always be my baby girl, my greatest joy, and one of the biggest blessings in my life. Iām so proud of you and I love you so much. ā¤ļø

11 years later and weāre still coming back to where it all began on our 1st dateš Itās a reminder of where we started, who we were, and everything God has blessed us with since šš½
Life looks nothing like it did back thenā¦ weāve built so much, been through so much, and grown in ways we never could have imagined. But somehow, when we take this photo, it brings us right back to that version of usā¦ just two broken people who found our other half in each other š„¹
