One year after the heartbreaking stillbirth of their son, Leo Grey, TikTok creators Alexandra Madison (32) and Jon Bouffard (37) are embracing a hopeful new beginning—they’re expecting a baby.
In June 2024, Alexandra and Jon courageously shared the devastating news that their son had been stillborn at 26 weeks. Their message was deeply personal and unfiltered:
“We are devastated… our hearts will never be the same,” they revealed. Alexandra added, “I had the privilege of carrying you for 26 weeks. I will always wonder who you would have been.”
Instead of retreating from the spotlight, the couple chose to confront their grief openly. They found an unexpected refuge in humor, using dark comedy to navigate the pain. During an appearance on Keke Palmer’s podcast earlier this year, they explained how laughter became a vital part of their healing process. One TikTok video, where they joked about being a “DINK” couple (Dual Income, No Kids), resonated widely, attracting nearly 9 million views. Though some questioned their approach, many viewers connected deeply with their honesty, appreciating the rawness behind the humor.
On June 22, 2025, Alexandra and Jon shared their pregnancy news with a quiet, heartfelt Instagram video. Alexandra, dressed in a soft yellow gown, stood in a sunlit field, gently cradling her baby bump and holding ultrasound photos. The caption was simple yet full of meaning: “Coming soon.”
The announcement sparked an immediate outpouring of love and support. Followers who had witnessed the couple’s journey from grief to hope flooded the comments with encouragement and joy:
“So happy for you both!”
“This brought tears to my eyes.”
“Your strength is inspiring.”
This pregnancy represents far more than a new addition to their family—it embodies resilience, healing, and the delicate balance of carrying grief alongside hope. Alexandra and Jon’s decision to share their entire journey—from loss to laughter to new life—has created a profound connection with their audience. Their openness invites others to confront their pain and find light in the darkest moments.
Their use of humor amid tragedy, while unconventional, opened a vital conversation about how people process grief. It helped normalize the complexity of emotions surrounding pregnancy loss and fostered a community of empathy and support.
As they prepare to welcome their “rainbow baby,” Alexandra and Jon continue to share their story with honesty, vulnerability, and love. Their digital community, once a witness to sorrow, now celebrates their resilience and growth alongside them.
Their experience serves as a powerful reminder that while loss reshapes life irrevocably, it does not close the door on hope. Healing often arrives quietly and unexpectedly, carrying with it the promise of new beginnings and the strength to keep moving forward. In sharing their journey, Alexandra and Jon not only honor their son’s memory but also inspire countless others to find courage and connection in the face of heartbreak.
