Alexa PenaVega Remembers Late Daughter
Alexa and husband Carlos PenaVega tragically lost their newborn daughter in April 2024.
“Two years ago today we lost our beautiful daughter Indy,” the proud mom captioned a photo of her three children holding a framed picture of Indy. “Her little life transformed ours and will always be a gift to us.”
She continued, “Never in a million years did we ever fathom having to walk through the death of our own child. But here we are today, navigating grief and joy like a little dance.”
In addition to Indy, the PenaVegas share sons Ocean, 10, and Kingston, 6, and daughter Rio, 4.
“Never did we know that out of deep pain a joy could spark within us. A miraculous joy that can only come from God. He used Indyâs life to plant a seed within us,” the “Spy Kids” actress continued. “He gave our family a fresh lens, a new purpose and a joy for what we do have here on earth. She will always be a part of everything we do and not a day will go by without remembering the heaven that awaits us with her in it.”
Alexa PenaVega Opens Up About Losing a Child
On April 15, 2024, PenaVega shared the heartbreaking news that baby Indy was “born at rest.”
“We can’t understand why things like this happen and we may never get those answers,” she explained. “Indy Rex PenaVega, you completely changed our world. You moved us to a new place. You gave us the community we have been longing for. We love you can’t wait to see how many other loves you change.”
The “Dancing With the Stars” season 21 alum later revealed that the delivery was similar to her previous births in that Indy “had a heartbeat two minutes up until delivery.”
“When I found out that they were struggling with the heartbeat, I donât think that I could really grasp in that moment what was going on,” she said in January 2025, according to UsWeekly. “It really doesnât make sense, the peace that we felt because it was so painful. Itâs still painful. We felt so blessed through it.”
