Twilight star says he and wife relied on Christian faith to get through stillbirth of baby girl
Twilight star Kellan Lutz has said he is "so grateful" for his Christian faith after he and his wife Brittany experienced the tragic stillbirth of their baby girl in February.
Lutz, who these days is starring in CBS drama, FBI: Most Wanted, opened up about their heartbreaking loss in an interview with LaPalme magazine.
He said that although their baby girl is gone, they are "grateful" that she is in Heaven.
"There is no easy way, but I'm just so grateful for our faith and sharing the blood of Jesus Christ," he said.
"We don't have all the understanding in the world. There are some tough days where you'll see the sonogram, and you'll see her cute little nose that she had.
"But then again, we are so grateful she is in heaven, and we remind ourselves that she didn't have to come into this world and deal with heartbreak, and she gets to be with Jesus. It's bittersweet."
Despite going through such a tragedy, he said he was "happy to trust" that he and his wife will one day have a big family.
The couple have been outspoken about their faith on social media since going through the loss. Lutz recently shared on Instagram that he "can't wait to try again when the time is right God willing".
He quoted from Ecclesiastes 3, as he said that he was believing that "there is a time for everything" and that while he has "had my season of mourning", he is now "ready to dance".
Brittany also shared her thoughts on Instagram, saying that although she didn't know why it happened, she had "such peace" knowing that her daughter was "in the arms of Jesus now and one day we will get to meet you for real".
