Madison and Bouffard opened up about how they coped with their loss while appearing on Keke Palmer's podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer.
Explaining that 'dark humor' helped them to get them through the toughest moments, Madison said, "I think for us, it was such a dark time that it felt like we truly were never gonna come up for air."
"But this is our trauma, and the way that I deal with things is through comedy," she added.
The pair ultimately channeled their emotions into a skit in which they attempted to withdraw from the DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) club, but their application was denied.
"We can't thank you all enough for your continued outpouring of support,' they wrote in the post's caption, adding, 'And to all the couples who had their DINK memberships renewed, did you turn your nursery into a wine cellar? We haven't … just asking.'
The couple continued to post skits on their social media channels in the ensuing months, many of which feature sketches about their loss.
"I think the more we did it, the more it helped us," Madison told Palmer, 31, on her podcast.

Austin Butler Just Explained What Was Really Going On At Bad Bunny's Concert After His Seriously Bizarre Dance Moves Went Viral
Earlier this month, Austin Butler went viral after he was spotted on stage during Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico residency, with the actor's questionable dance moves causing quite a stir on social media. NBC / Via In case you missed it, Bad Bunny, real name Benito Ocasio, has two stage areas for these shows, and one of them — which is made to look like a casita — is both a performance area and a VIP section. Related: And as Benito was performing, Austin was caught on camera leaning nonchalantly against the casita with his arm crossed tightly across his body. But he isn't stationary. Instead, Austin is seemingly feeling the music as he dramatically sways his hips and smiles to himself. Needless to say, people were left baffled by Austin's moves — with some observing that he looks 'scared to move,' while others theorizing that he's 'boring' at parties, and has "no rhythm." But during his appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, Austin explained that there was way more to the situation than meets the eye as he acknowledged that he did look pretty out of place. Related: First things first — and perhaps most importantly — the star admitted that he'd taken an edible shortly before the show. Secondly, Austin revealed that he had no idea that he was going to be on display during Benito's performance. Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, the Oscar-nominated actor started out by explaining that he and Benito became friends after starring in their upcoming movie, Caught Stealing, together. Related: 'We went to Benito's show, and we had lunch with him earlier in the day, and he was kind of telling us about the show, but I didn't realize what it was gonna be,' Austin began. 'How they have the main stage, and then I thought we were going to be in the audience, like, with everybody, and so somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time.' 'I ate the edible, and then it turns out we're in, like, a casita, a house that is basically the second stage that he comes out on,' the star continued, before sharing that he is shy, saying: 'I'm in an ironic job because I don't really like people singing 'Happy Birthday' to me, and suddenly I'm on stage with Bad Bunny and the edible is… Working.' 'It was wild, and it's like my brain is in two movies,' Austin went on. 'Because one, I think: 'I'm so proud of [Benito],' and I'm watching him going: 'Oh my god, look how much you mean to everyone here,' I'm falling in love with Puerto Rican culture, and the dancing, and everybody's so sexy and amazing… And then the other part of me is like: 'Don't dance.'' 'Because you'll take attention away from him, this is his moment!' Austin explained. 'So I'm like: 'Hide!' My body's kind of saying 'hide,' but the music's so good, and it's in my bones at some point, so I'm wanting to dance but then the other voice is saying: 'Don't take attention away!' So I ended up just like swaying my hips and crossing my arms.' Jimmy then left Austin red-faced when he played a clip of his dancing before imitating his guest's moves from behind his desk. 'For whatever reason, every time I uncrossed my arms I felt like I was drawing attention to myself!' Austin sheepishly admitted, before adding that he was wary of looking like the 'sad Ben Affleck' meme, saying: 'I don't want to be the sad guy, but you also don't want to be the guy who's dancing crazy and drawing attention.' NBC / Via Austin then asked Jimmy if he'd ever felt that way at a show, and Jimmy confessed that he did feel uncomfortable at Harry Styles' concert because he was so much older than most of the crowd. But Jimmy wasn't letting Austin get away that easy, quipping that no matter how uncomfortable he was, he didn't resort to pulling out the actor's edible-induced dance moves.

After the Paramount merger, could UFC stage a July 4th fight at the White House?
Hours after Paramount and UFC announced a billion-dollar rights deal, Dana White said he had yet to hear from his friend, President Donald Trump, on his thoughts about the fight company's new streaming home. That was fine with White. The UFC CEO was set to travel to Washington on Aug. 28 to meet with Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to catch up and discuss logistics on the proposed Fourth of July fight card next year at the White House. Trump said last month he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. 'It's absolutely going to happen,' White told The Associated Press. 'Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS.' The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. White helped steer the company into a $4 billion sale in 2016 and broadcast rights deals with Fox and ESPN before landing owner TKO Group's richest one yet — a seven-year deal with Paramount starting in 2026 worth an average of $1.1 billion a year, with all cards on its streaming platform Paramount+ and select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS. ESPN, Amazon and Netflix and other traditional sports broadcast players seemed more in play for UFC rights — White had previously hinted fights could air across different platforms — but Paramount was a serious contender from the start of the negotiating window. The Paramount and UFC deal came just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger — kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavor to get the transaction over the finish line. White said he was impressed with the vision Skydance CEO David Ellison had for the the global MMA leader early in contract talks and how those plans should blossom now that Ellison is chairman and CEO of Paramount. 'When you talk about Paramount, you talk about David Ellison, they're brilliant businessmen, very aggressive, risk takers,' White said. 'They're right up my alley. These are the kind of guys that I like to be in business with.' The $1.1 billion deals marks a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN paid each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans — with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. 'as they become available in the future.' UFC matchmakers were set to meet this week to shape what White said would be a loaded debut Paramount card. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. 'This is a 1-of-1 event,' White said. There are still some moving parts to UFC broadcasts and other television programming it has its hands in as the company moves into the Paramount era. White said there are still moving parts to the deal and that includes potentially finding new homes for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' 'Road To UFC,' and 'Dana White's Contender Series.' It's not necessarily a given the traditional 10 p.m. start time for what were the pay-per-view events would stand, especially on nights cards will also air on CBS. 'We haven't figured that out yet but we will,' White said. And what about the sometimes-contentious issue of fighter pay? Some established fighters have clauses in their contracts that they earn more money the higher the buyrate on their cards. Again, most of those issues are to-be-determined as UFC and Paramount settle in to the new deal — with $1.1 billion headed the fight company's way. 'It will affect fighter pay, big time,' White said. 'From deal-to-deal, fighter pay has grown, too. Every time we win, everybody wins.' Boxer Jake Paul wrote on social media the dying PPV model — which was overpriced for fights as UFC saw a decline in buys because of missing star power in many main events — should give the fighters an increased idea of their worth. 'Every fighter in the UFC now has a clear picture of what the revenue is…no more PPV excuses,' Paul wrote. 'Get your worth boys and girls.' White also scoffed at the idea that the traditional PPV model is dead. There are still UFC cards on pay-per-view the rest of the year through the end of the ESPN contract and White and Saudi Arabia have teamed to launch a new boxing venture that starts next year and could use a PPV home. White, though, is part of the promotional team for the Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford fight in September in Las Vegas that airs on Netflix. 'It's definitely not run it's course,' White said. 'There were guys out there who were interested in pay-per-view and there were guys out there that weren't. Wherever we ended up, that's what we're going to roll with.' White said UFC archival footage 'kills it' in repeat views and those classic bouts also needed a new home once the ESPN deal expires. Just when it seems there's little left for UFC to conquer, White says, there's always more. Why stop at becoming the biggest fight game in the world? Why not rewrite the pecking order in popularity and riches and go for No. 1 in all sports? 'You have the NFL, the NBA, the UFC, and soccer globally,' White said. 'We're coming. We're coming for all of them.'
