TikTok star Michael Armstrong reveals wife Emma had a stillbirth three weeks before due date: 'We are shattered'
TikTok star Michael Armstrong revealed the sad news that he and his wife Emma lost their baby.
Emma delivered their child as a stillbirth 37 weeks into her pregnancy.
'It's been hard to find words for this, but it's with a heavy heart to share that our sweet baby has passed at 37 weeks,' Armstrong shared on Instagram on Saturday, June 14.
Armstrong goes by Michael Love on social media while his wife is Fire Love.
'3 weeks ago, my wife woke up and noticed there wasn't movement in her belly. She intuitively felt something was off.
'A couple hours later we got an ultrasound and the doctors found no heartbeat,' his Instagram caption read.
'We were shattered,' the influencer continued, noting his wife underwent a stillbirth and delivered their child after 37 hours in labor.
The couple chose to wait until birth to find out their baby's gender. They had a boy they named Zen Diamond Armstrong.
'There was no sign of what went wrong. His ultrasound, body and placenta all looked good. As we've learned, sometimes this just happens, and 1/3 of the time no cause is ever discovered.
'I've been balancing the divine purpose of it all and the truth of deep grief,' he wrote.
'I know our souls wouldn't have chosen this experience if there wasn't a greater purpose, but the devastation is real.
'The love that's poured in has been a light in the darkness. Our friends here in Kauai have been delivering food and everything else to us,' he wrote alongside a photo of their baby's hand being held by one of his parents.
'Absolute angels. I've been able to devote my energy to taking care of Emma, who is navigating an unimaginable postpartum journey with such strength.'
Michael then went on to praise his wife, writing, 'She carried our son with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed.

'Thank you for holding us in your hearts. Every message, every meal, every prayer, we feel it. It matters (even if we don't get to respond right away).
'We're taking it day by day, moment by moment, and letting love lead us through.'
Emma also posted about her loss, detailing how many things she had been planning to do with her child.
'I must have spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be,' she shared. 'We were preparing for the happiest day our life and instead we got our worst.'
'This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown,' she continued.
'This is me sharing my shock. For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby.
'The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table.'
'He is essence of peace and love. He is the rainbow light of our lives. He is an angel guiding us from beyond the veil,' Emma wrote.
'There are no words to convey the depth and grief of this loss. We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and please know even if we don't respond that your messages mean so much to our tender hearts,' she concluded.
Armstrong rose to fame on TikTok for his hypnosis masterclass and discussions about past lives.
The lovebirds got married in April 2024 and called their story, 'the ultimate love story' as well as saying they were each other's 'soulmates.'
In January 2025, Emma posted a video and captioned it, 'There's a miracle growing inside of my womb.'
