Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton's lives are about to be filled with a lot more love.
The couple, who met during the first season of Netflix's reality show "Love is Blind," shared on Instagram that they are expecting their first child together.
"The moment that changed everything," they captioned a carousel of pictures, including a photo where they hold up a pregnancy test with a positive result.
Lauren and Cameron have been open about their fertility struggles and noted in their post the happy news came after four "years of prayers, patience, and a whole lot of love." They told People magazine that they used in vitro fertilization.
In an episode of the "Love Seat" podcast last year, Hamilton shared that "we've been struggling to conceive." He said that during this struggle, his first instinct was to "dive into the research on fertility, IVF, try to consume everything I can, come up with a strategy," but added that "even more important than that is turning toward your partner and their emotions."

"When I saw what you were going through, in terms of taking the medications, doing the daily shots, knowing that IVF and all this stuff wasn't really something that you naturally wanted to do, but you did it for me, you showed me a new level of love," Hamilton told his wife while becoming emotional.

Speed-Hamilton, who said on the podcast that the conversation about fertility was "not the easiest" for her, also said the situation made the couple "feel a little more connected" and in tune with each other.
"When you go through something that's big and heavy or weighs on your hearts, it creates a bond, and I think that it's actually made us stronger," she shared.

Hamilton has previously urged fans not to ask couples when they're going to have children. In a 2023 Instagram post, he said this inquiry, which he and Speed-Hamilton get "thousands" of times, is "inappropriate."
"Couples share with me all the time how hurtful it is when they are pressured about having kids, especially since oftentimes they are struggling to conceive," he wrote. "Let's show compassion for couples by appreciating them for who they are and letting them share their baby journey when and if they choose to."
This wasn't the only happy news to hit the "Love is Blind" universe.
On May 25, AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland, "Love is Blind" stars who met while filming the Netflix series "Perfect Match," announced that they're also expecting their first child together.
"The love is blind couple we never saw coming but absolutely needed.!!!" one fan commented on their announcement post. "Congratulations!!! Who's cutting onions."
