Lauren and Cameron Hamilton are expecting their first child!
The couple, who met on the first season of the hit Netflix reality series Love is Blind, gave details about their pregnancy journey in a recent interview.
“We were counting down the day till we could test because we did IVF. We knew, okay, this is the day that we’re going to do the test. Of course, we’re going in for a blood test later that day, but we couldn’t wait any longer. We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look at the Clearblue test and it was face down. We flipped it over. We saw the word pregnant, and that was just a huge moment to actually see the word pregnant on the test,” Cameron told People.
“A relief. Because, well, we’ve taken a few pregnancy tests and when you use the ones with the lines, it could be anxiety driven because it’s like, ‘Is that what I think?’ So seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing. We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried. It’s been a long time coming. We’ve literally been trying to get pregnant for four years,” Lauren chimed in.

Lauren also opened up about how the loss of her father affected her relationship with her pregnancy.
“I lost my father [at] Christmas of last year. And so we took this test the end of January, beginning of February, so this was literally light in the darkness. This was like, wow. The spark that my whole family needed. We’ve been trying for a long time. It was a little bittersweet because my dad’s not here physically to be with us, but we know that he’s watching over us. So it was just like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this.’ We just felt so blessed, so grateful and happy, excited. Then it hit like, ‘We’re going to be parents. Oh my God. [Cameron has] just been so great, so patient and just awesome. I’m so blessed to have a partner like him,” she said.
Meanwhile, the couple have been leaning on the support of fellow Love is Blind alums Amber and Matt Barnett, who welcomed their first baby together in April.
“Amber is full of advice. She’s giving me the real, real lowdown advice,” Lauren said.
Lauren also went on to describe what she anticipates most about parenthood.
“I am looking forward to, first off, just holding the baby and hearing that first cry, but also just reliving my childhood through the baby, doing all the fun stuff, Disney on Ice, the zoo. Being a big kid again and seeing it through their eyes is going to be amazing,” she said.
Cameron then talked about wanting to recreate his bond with his father.
“I think about when my dad, when they brought me back home from the hospital that first night, I slept on my dad’s chest, so maybe we can keep that tradition going,” he said.
