It wasn’t an easy pregnancy journey for Irena and Locky.
Not long after their season of The Bachelor finished ended, Irena revealed to our sister site WHO that she had experienced a miscarriage.
“During our first few months together I, unfortunately, suffered a miscarriage,” she said.

“If you have to say something, then direct it at me, not my girl.”
Following the miscarriage, Irena sought out a specialist to receive some fertility tests.
